Cooinda, A 3 Bedroom Home Near Mayfield Garden

Heating - required additional payment for bags of firewood. There is plenty of firewood available in nearby forests that could have been cut to size of a tool were available. Getting keys from lockbox required a coded which was on my phone, however I had to turn around and drive back into Oberon to get reception to access the code. then drive back again to open the door. Possibly a few too many laminated sheets of instructions around the house?

The place is lovely, it has almost everything you need for a short holiday in a country. It is home away from home. It is clean, comfortable and has good facilities..

The house provides almost everything that we would need as a holiday house. However, I missed the note that the water from tap was rain water. I had just finished my treatments (health problem) and the water caused some irritations on my skin, Luckily I brought antihistamine with me and afterwards boiled the water that would touch my skin from then on and bought bottled water for drinking. Also, the location is alright except that the Great Western Hi-way was partly closed and the detour was unpaved road through the mountains which was very difficult.

Stunning setting, short distance to town, beautiful views

We really enjoyed our weekend stay at Cooinda. Our host Carlos kept in touch with clear helpful messages before we arrived, then checked in again on arrival and after checkout, making the whole process very easy. The house was just what we wanted: quiet, private, and cosy with beautiful nature views - the house is situated right on a main road but the traffic in this spot is very quiet and non-existent at night. We loved watching the nearby animals and lots of birds. Outside the house is a beautiful firepit area, with lots of plants and fun decor, plenty of stocked wood available, and table and chairs, perfect for drinks and snacks in the evening. Inside the house had a super easy and fast heating system, whenever the house became a bit cold we could flick a switch and have the house toasty warm again within just a few minutes. In the living room, we found cabinets stocked with games and books which we felt were a thoughtful bonus. The beds were so comfortable, and the bedrooms stayed nice and warm throughout the night, everyone slept very well. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed, and our dogs loved playing in the very spacious and securely fenced yard. Altogether, a relaxing, well-equipped stay that we’d happily recommend.

We couldn't fault anything about our stay. It's hard to find a holiday house which ticks all our boxes and allows our dogs to join us too, this place is perfect for what we needed.
