Simply perfect
This gorgeous cottage is situated in the most sumptuous grounds. Enjoyed a great stay with my 16yo. The house had everything we needed, including very generous breakfast offerings. The beds were super comfy. And to top it off our host even gave us a lift back after we did a great walk to Cockatoo.

Stunning! Beautiful well equipped cottage.
We stayed for a long weekend and loved it! Breathtaking views, well equipped cottage and the kids loved feeding the ponies.Some of our highlights were the great breakfast provisions, gas log fire, books & magazines, toys & games, bathrobes & slippers, wine & chocolate on arrival, wifi & netflix, great linen and heated towel rail. Such relaxing weekend and the gardens were beautiful. Thank you Bec, all the little things makes it extra special! Highly recommend.
