Mid century modern decor and kangaroos on the lawn - fabulous location
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2024
The cottage was large enough for my family but also very cosy. The ducted aircon and slow combustion fire kept us warm the entire stay. We loved the outlook from the kitchen and my granddaughter enjoyed playing with our poodles in the huge backyard. Kangaroos and close proximity to rhododendron gardens was great.

Lovely cosy house in a private setting with lots of wildlife
6 / 10Average·Oct 2022
We were disappointed with the description and communication about the property.
Gas bottles run out and no instruction on how to deal with this. (Emergency phone number was not easy to locate).
No pre-warning you have to buy your own wood for the fires.
Heating system randomly turns down to 11 degrees, blows cold air and house becomes cold quickly.
Birds nest in the tress over the driveway at night and leave an excessive amount of poop on cars.
Best part about the place was the wildlife. Kangaroos and friendly Kookaburras.
