We had a wonderful stay and cannot recommend this place enough! The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Wollongong and the surrounding areas, and was close to the beach and cycling tracks.
Jim and Deb were fabulous hosts who made our stay very special. They were incredibly friendly and thought of every little detail to make us feel welcome.
The accommodation was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely go back.
Jim and Deborah were fantastic hosts, and they have done a magnificent job of restoring this historic cottage.The location was perfect for us, and the cottage is charming and comfortable, with a spacious covered verandah for watching the world go by, as well as a quiet courtyard.Deborah provided her own range of gourmet breakfast supplies, and she and Jim were warm and generous hosts, inspiring us with their love of food, music and hospitality.
An exceptional stay. The cottage is beautiful — peaceful, comfortable, and perfectly maintained. What made this experience stand out were the hosts. Jim and Deborah are remarkably kind and accommodating. When the cottage was booked for part of my trip, they went above and beyond to help arrange alternate accommodations. Outstanding hospitality and a memorable experience. 10/10.
The property was fantastic and in a superb location close to the beach and the city. We were able to walk to restaurants for dinner and Cafes as well as the beach.The hosts Deborah and Jim were amazing and extremely welcoming and ensured our stay was most enjoyable.We would highly recomend staying at Little Milton for a getaway weekend.
We would have moved in if we could have. The hosts provided not just a great stay, but an unforgettable experience! We will not forget that final night on the verandah, enjoying the warm breeze, lightening, and a background of smooth jazz piano emanating from their main house (glass of bubbles in hand of course).They had gone above and beyond in luxuries and detail, even so far as to provide freshly baked treats whilst i was enjoying the sunshine in the courtyard. Dont be deterred by the close proximity of the hosts, they were very respectful of space and privacy and i wish they'd been around a bit more to continue the amazing conversations and stories they shared about Little Milton.Super comfortable beds, lovely hot shower that didnt run out of water, everything we needed in the kitchen was also provided. The property itself was within walking distance to everywhere, parking onsite and the tasteful mix of the old and the new made for such an enjoyable stay with an air of history around us.We will be coming back and cant wait to see the hosts and the additions theyve made to their own property!Thank you so much for your kindness.Jane, Dean, Annie and Gabe
