Thanks for your review Craig! I hope to host you again in the future.

Hi Emma, thanks for your review. The driveway is professionally sealed in asphalt the entire way (200m long which cost an absolute fortune) to make it easy to travel on. One section is steep but I can’t say why you had trouble getting up the driveway in low gear. The cottage is on tank water with a pump and the water pressure may not be as good as in the city - but it is a part off grid bush retreat not a city property. The listing says to request the second bedroom to be made up as it’s usually couples that book this property. Mobile phone reception at the cottage varies which is why I provide a free land line to use. The cottage also has free wifi. As a side note I’m with Telstra and I do get good reception at the property. My cottage clearly wasn’t the right property for your needs.

Thanks for your feedback Allan, I’m happy to hear you had a great stay. Just to clarify, a new roof was installed a few days before your arrival which is why the antenna was installed during your stay. I apologise for this inconvenience again. The internal ceilings are natural chipboard as it has been since my grandparents built the cottage and are not proposed to be painted. I provide a jar of handmade granola and some cereals as well as a selection of spreads. a selection of teas, espresso coffee, sugar, milk (cow and usually a plant based milk). Sometimes eggs, Up and Go’s, juice and bread are provided but often these go unconsumed (as was the case during your stay with regards to the granola and cereal which were provided). Tea towels are located in the bottom draw in the kitchen. Paper towel is not always provided though. There are 4 big bowls, two soup bowls and no small plates but about 14 dinner plates as well as about 10 coffee cups and highballs. I have put 4 small plates in the cottage today. I appreciate your feedback and always aim to improve. Take care.

Thanks Genelle for your lovely review. The fire sure is lovely in winter. Safe travels and I hope to host you again in the future.

Hi Mike, thanks for your review. I’ll take your feedback on board. The fridge and cupboards had lots of free food and drinks it’s very disappointing that you have complained about this. I was slow to respond to one message which I apologise for. That message related to instructions which I already advised I would send the day before your arrival in prior messages and information which can be found in the listing. I contact all guests the day before arrival in the evening - you at the moment of 5pm couldn’t wait again and had to contact me assuming I had “forgot”. Day before arrival contact is the common procedure I follow with all guests (as the door code changes every day). For some reason you were very pushy with receiving the instructions and doing things on your time. Your other messages regarding local tourist suggestions and to clarify that you had made the correct booking dates as you for some unknown reason said your dates were showing up as available on the Vrbo website were all promptly responded to. Due to your feedback and the manner in which you left the cottage too I wouldn’t host you again. I also didn’t appreciate you arriving unannounced 2 hours prior to check in. I found it actually quite rude and pushy. All the best.
