Great interiors

So clean with such a comfortable bed. I loved the interior decoration with the natural materials (including a birds nest) and recycled materials. The back courtyard with quirky detailing and lovely birch trees was a pleasant place to have a late afternoon drink. Also liked that we could walk everywhere within Millthorpe which is such a lively town.

Village Charmer

We absolutely loves Speckled Nest...everything was just perfect. Millthorpe won us over too. The only improvement (although we didn't need it in the September heat wave) would be a slow combustion for chilly winter days

Comfortable Millthorpe

Overall this property suits our needs for short term stays. Its our second stay. Our only concern is that it gets little sunlight inside and the interior lighting is not adequate.

Wonderful stay in Millthorpe

Beautiful little cottage in a great street in Millthorpe (far and away the pick of the little country towns in this part of NSW), just around the corner from the cafes and shops. Perfectly clean and well equipped, with a lovely little garden out the back to enjoy the fresh country air. Easy to find the place and get in, with very helpful communication from Paul before and during the stay. Would definitely come again when exploring this part of NSW - highly recommended! Thanks, Paul and Anita - a great weekend away.

Comfortable, well designed & decorated to theme reflecting it's name.

This property was charming comfortable well designed & organised. The speckled nest has limited cooking facilities but there are dining out options within walking distance. The bed was very comfortable. We were welcomed with generous gifts. We love our stayed in this true to its name themed cottage. We would stay again, Millthorpe is a time capsule of historic treasures.

Country NSW Bliss

Millthorpe is a great place - both to stay and use as a base for exploring - and I can't imagine a better home to stay in the town than the Speckled Nest.
