We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night family get away at Wattle Cottage. Three generations, four adults, two 10 year olds and two family dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone. The large back deck area was a day time favourite. The location and setting is perfect for winding down and relaxing. There are plenty of spaces and activities to explore - the pool and table tennis areas were favourites. Thanks Suzie and Neil.

An amazing property, with an exceptional view from poolside. Suzie was amazing to chat with and we shared quite a few laughs. The pool was beautiful! We stayed in the cottage and it was marvellous, kitchen is well stocked with utensils to make cooking family dinner so easy. They also hold weddings which shown where they have the ceremony on the property would be stunning :)
