We were a couple and stayed in the Winter cottage. It was perfect for our needs. It is a short walk from the main street and everything you want to do. Autumn was such a great time to enjoy the beautiful colours of the trees and the wonderful bushwalking tracks which are well signposted and maintained. Would definitely visit Marysville and the Garden Cottages again.

The cottage was absolutely perfect. Super clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The cottage is perfectly located in walking distance to everything , it’s quiet and cosy. I loved being able to read a book on the porch, next to the beautiful flowers with only the sound of the wildlife. The accommodation doesn’t have wifi - I didn’t even think about accommodation not having it these days! Loved the stay and will be back. This place is also a perfect engagement/wedding present!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is beautiful, the spa bath is nice and big and comfortable and works well, we stayed in the country cottage which is nice. The king bed was alright. I didn't realise at the time of booking and that is MY fault, but there is no cooking allowed in the room and no cooking facilities. I assumed as a cottage at over $200 per night, it would be available. And I think it does let it down for the price in such a remote area, it does force you to spend a LOT of money on groceries, eating out, or really simple microwave meals. But, everything was great otherwise. Perhaps book direct, i had a lot of issues changing my dates with expedia not refunding my night, not sending through a new itinerary, the property therefore wasn't given any details, it was a mess.
Response from rod on 5 Jan 2023
Hello Bethany, thanks for staying with us, and for your review. Glad you appreciated the luxurious stay in Country cottage. The King spa, King bed and beautiful fittings make for such a relaxing stay don't they! The tariff is affixed as per the luxury standard of the cottage and features, and has nothing to do with cooking facilities as you suggested. Most of our guests enjoy the break from everyday cooking and know cooking smells and smoke can interfere with the decor and furnishings of the cottage.Yes as you commented you had a difficult process with Expedia attempting to change your dates, this was unfortunate for you, however didn't seem to affect your enjoyment of your stay! Hope we see you againRegards Rod, Manager

The Spring Garden Cottage was beautifully appointed and, being the first of a few cottages in the rear row of 3, the corner entrance provided a private terrace entrance. The easterly sun filtered through the front windows in the morning. There was plenty of space to settle in. We enjoyed the wood-gas heater and loved the mirror-frame surrounding the television. The claw bath was utilized after walking through the hills. This cottage had the largest bathroom we have ever had the pleasure of using. The personal touches were appreciated with shortbread, small blocks of chocolate and sherbet lollies awaiting us, and a thoughtful arrangement of chocolates to thank us for our stay. The gardens are beautifully maintained and the autumn colours still vibrant. We didn’t want to leave.
