Lovely property, very peaceful and secluded. Our cottage was very spacious for 5 people, beds were comfortable and the bathroom very spacious! The only thing I would suggest would be a more thorough clean of the cottage but it didn’t stop us from enjoying our time there. The owners were always helpful if we needed anything.

I liked the location, scenery, cleanness I didnt like few things - air conditioner was smelling unpleasant when turned on, i believe it needs a clean and disinfection; Also, I'd suggest to place single use sponges for each booking because we were left with a dirty old sponge which i could not use to wash dishes but used my own paper towels instead.

Waiting on reponse from owners still for a partial refund due to the disgusting state these supposed 4 star cottages are provided in, we were moved to another cottage as the first disgusting, the next slightly better but still had to clean ourselves. 2 star at best and massively overprised.

Peace, quiet & beautiful view.
Relaxing stay, beautiful view & property had everything you needed. Enjoyed the peace & quiet. Had some problems checking in with the lockbox & front door key access. Probably needs a bit of maintenance. Overall delightful stay apart from that.

A beautiful location. Very clean and all you need. The owners were very accommodating to any request in every way. Polite and friendly. The first night sitting on the deck listening to the birds, seeing the Kangaroos at dusk. Bliss. Highly recommended
