Quiet pet friendly couples retreat
Lovely little cottage with all the amenities you could wish for and lovely district rural views. Cottage is surrounded by two fully fenced small yards perfect for your little dog. The fire pit and fruit laden citrus trees are an added bonus. The owner's house is nearby but not obtrusive and the gracious hostess is a call away if needed.

Perfect getaway
My partner, myself and our two pets spent a fabulous long weekend here. We wanted a quiet, lush spot to unwind and relax. We immediately felt at home, the cottage is self sufficient with all equipments you may need during your stay ( including amazing books, movies, bbq,pool, quality linen, quality kitchen appliances). Horses, kangaroos and birds will be your neighbours. The garden and the field are protected with fences to keep your pets safe. Short 10mins drive to Seal rocks and beaches, lakes, fishing spots and coffee shops. Cate and Brad were helpful in making sure we were comfortable, suggesting spots to visits while giving us all the privacy we wanted. Thank you again ! We will be back !

Weekend getaway with 2 dogs
I visited the property for 3 nights with my 2 medium sized dogs. It was lovely to stay somewhere where my dogs could have as much of a holiday as me. Falcitites were great. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Easter getaway
Lovely and comfortable flat , nice and quiet location surrounded by fields . Kitchen was good but some things weren’t too clean and the cooking stove wasn’t great . Firewood supplied , but no way to split the large logs and it took me 4 trips to get kindling to get the big chunks burning ….. eventually . Minor suggestions for a very enjoyable weekend

Lovely little getaway
My partner and I both loved staying at Yarramin Park and keen to go back in the future. Cate and Brad are super friendly and helpful. Check in was easy, communication is great and the place is lovely and clean. The place has everything you need, all kitchen utensils, beach stuff, books, DVDs and brochures for tourist information etc. The location is beautiful and only 10mins drive to the beach.

Fantastic spot away from the crowds.
Arriving at Cottage was just easy and location perfect for us. Communication with Cate and Brad so lovely and friendly.! We got fresh prawns for Christmas from Brad and had amazing relaxing break away on farm. The short drive to Seal Rocks each day was great with swimming for us and our water loving 🥰 Labrador. The whole experience was awesome with the gorgeous decorated cottage fantastic courtyard and safe yard for dog. Everything was perfect, privacy in our space and the opportunity for a chat about local activities. Thanks so much Cate and Brad. We will definitely return.! Phillip Mandy and Lexie.

Relaxing country property
A lovely comfortable cottage set on a beautiful rural property. It was quiet, very comfortable & had everything you needed. Importantly for us our big dog was secure & made to feel most welcome, she loved her walks around the property & down the long dirt road. Not far to drive to lakes & beaches for a swim & our dog loved the off leash beach in Tuncurry.

Yarramin Park
This is a very good property for pet owners. There is a fenced outdoor area with covered seating and grassy area for your pets. It is quiet and relatively private even though it is close to the main house. The kitchen is well equipped, including a good sized fridge. There is a quiet effective reverse cycle air conditioner that worked easily (in contrast to quite a few that don't in properties we have visited). It has the best stocked supply of reading and dvds' we have ever seen. There is a excellent range of blankets to use, in contrast to many places that only supply a super hot doona for all conditions. The ensuite bathroom is more than adequate. The owner has 2 charming little poodles which are separated from your area. Very close to all the local spots.

Me, my partner and our 3 year old Beagle stayed for 3 nights. Cate was very helpful and accomodating. The cottage was even much better in person than we expected, it had a Tv with Netflix, fridge, bbq and well equipped kitchen. The place was spotless and comfortable. Will definitely stay again in the future.
