Just wonderful

What a lovely little cottage on a beautiful property!! Great base to visit all the villages, Exeter, Moss Vale, Bowral, etc. Fresh flowers from the garden a most thoughtful touch. Well appointed and everything you need for a great stay. Full of natural light and so peaceful. Internet was super patchy but who cares?! Log off and take the opportunity to read, recuperate and sit in the garden. Will definitely be back.

Exceeded expectations

We were blown away on arrival, by the gorgeous property - the beautiful grounds and lodge. House was so pretty, fully stocked, comfortable minimalist, and immaculate, with the added personal touch of fresh flowers in the bedrooms and lounge perfuming the air and apples in the kitchen - looked like a show home but comfy to stay in. Gardens were full of life, beautiful flowers, trees and other plants all well laid out, as well as cute bunny rabbits, woodland birds and a sweet, friendly dog (Ellie) who visited us several times a daily. Owner Anne was so lovely and lives on the property. Close to beautiful Red Cow farm in Sutton Forest. Definitely want to go back - and plan to gift a stay there for our parents. Note: best to bring gum boots/similar if raining.

Quiet and Relaxing

We really enjoyed our two night stay here. The cottage is set in beautiful gardens which makes it pleasant and tranquil. It is well set up with plenty of outdoor chairs and space to make the most of the peace and quiet. Inside is well furnished and having two separate bathrooms is such a bonus. The cottage is a wonderful place for a break away and everything is at hand for a pleasant stay!
