Relaxing stay
We had a wonderful stay at Cheryl's property in Mil Lel. The house and garden were pet friendly and suited our rescue greyhound well. The accommodation was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The house is in a very quiet and peaceful rural setting, but only a short drive to shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely cottage in a private rural setting. It has all mod cons, very comfortable beds and was perfect for us and our dogs, who enjoyed the secure fenced outdoor area. Would love to stay there again.

Ok
Needs a thorough clean. Oven and microwave don’t work. There was a full of coffee cup left in the microwave that was mouldy. Not by us. From a previous tenant. The shower head has a lot to be desired. There were two slugs in the shower. We didn’t look forward to having a shower. The hot water in the kitchen was soo hot it melted a plastic container. The outside doors were very hard to open. The beds uncomfortable.

perfect country escape
Rose cottage is a beautiful and comfortable country retreat, with all the mode cons you need, without all the distractions of the city life that often go with it. We loved relaxing in the evenings, enjoying the country atmosphere, and the property was close enough to amenities to make it convenient. Thank you for a great stay

Rose Cottage weekend review - Mil -lel
Our stay at the Rose Cottage was a lovely experience. The cottage was well equipped with everything we would ever need, generously providing toiletries and a stocked fridge. The atmosphere and scenery was beautiful to wake up to and spend time in (easily our favourite part!). We would strongly recommend staying here if you're ever in Mount Gambier. It was a delight!

The added extras!
This gorgeous cottage is set up exceptional with all the extras in mind for their guests comfort and enjoyment! Surprisingly bigger then photos and such an amazing outlook and scenery! The owners do live close by but that did not worry for us, they allowed us the space needed to enjoy our time at their property! Would stay again and recommend even in winter - comfy beds and electric blankets 🙏 Quiet relaxing!

Great country location
Comfortable, quiet cottage that is well organised. The big deck provides an opportunity from which to enjoy the outdoors. The garden is full of lovely trees and shrubs. The big surprise for us were the small birds who came up close while we were on the deck. They were as interested in us as we were in them!

The location of this cabin is wonderful and the cabin could have charm if only it was cleaner. There were cobwebs on the walls in corners and all over the outdoor area. The washing machine needs a thorough clean. There was no coffee maker as per advertised. The water pressure was poor. The owner was very nice and helpful.
