My family and I had a great stay at dark skies. The house is in a great location, easily accessible and has great amenities. The house was exceptionally clean and outfitted with everything you need for your stay, including great resources on things to do in the area. The yard is large and secure so no issues leaving your dog there. Highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for accommodation in Coona.

This is the second time we have stayed at Dark Skies Cottage. It is a short walk to the shops. The cottage is comfortable and cosy with everything you need. I would recommend staying here and would stay at Dark Skies again. If you have mobility issues it may be difficult to get in and out of the shower as it’s over a deep bath.
