Very Clean, tidy and most comfortable beds, extremely pet friendly, excellent presentation of supplies in the fridge, particularly the Cadbury Favourites, and on the kitchen bench, must have known I love a good Red.

Autumn Getaway

This was the ideal property for us to base ourselves on, plenty of secure grounds for our border collie to explore. The cottage was well equipped, cosy warm fireplace and comfortable beds. Lovely touches including continental breakfast staples, chocolates, wine and doggie treats were a nice addition. Enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay for pet owners visiting Mt.Gambier

Property is well located in a calm private place near Mt.Gambier. Plenty of space around the house to walk the pets or play with kids. Pet owners would love a stay here with plenty of space with fence.

Perfect stay

This was a perfect stay for our family and dog. Well set up with dog yard and pet-friendly accommodation. The rural setting was perfect for us as it was a short walk to the forest, or a short drive to Mt Gambier. Thanks for the stay!

Loved it!

Such a beautiful place to stay and so nice to hear the stories of all the animals from the hosts. Really appreciated the provisions as we had a full car so didn’t bring much food, plus the secure yard for the doggo was brilliant to know they didn’t need to be on lead the whole time. Highly recommend it as a place for travellers with dogs.
