Beautiful cottage

The property is beautiful and the location is great. The layout is a little different with the kitchen and bathroom both accessed through the bedroom. Has a comfy lounge and TV/DVD player. The host was lovely, calling to check in and welcome us. A lovely breakfast was left which was greatly appreciated. Antique store is right next door and has a great range of items.

Pretty stone cottage

We enjoyed a much-needed quiet comfortable stay. Used as home base for our day trips out and about, slept well every night. Walking distance to excellent antique store nearby and many attractions to visit in the region to keep you busy for days.

Be Prepared

What the photos don't show is that the water supply comes from a rain water tank which, after a long, dry summer, delivers tea coloured water. The place was tidy but not clean. The kitchen was an alcove with a tiny sink, no oven or stove top and a tiny table which would not have been adequate for food preparation. The rooms in this old stone building smelled of mould although when I mentioned this the host disagreed with me.

Great quiet location

Great accomodation - just far enough out of town to be quiet and peaceful, but definitely enough not to be a bother. I really enjoyed this accomodation and would recommend to others.

Very disappointed, had to leave early.

Property in lovely quiet area but we left as soon as we could due to the smell of black mould resulting in breathing difficulties, found live mouse under tea towel, cobwebs, thick dust in bedroom. Although breakfast is supposedly supplied there was only enough for 2 out of 4 days. Two bath towels supplied for three people. No response from property manager. I found the property not fit for purpose due to its unhygienic condition.

Gatekeepers Cottage

On arrival it looked delightful, but entering it was cobwebbed and not clean. There were too many electric leads about the kitchen. No hot water in the kitchen made it very hard . The way the rooms were guests had to access a bedroom to reach bathroom and kitchen. This could be easily remedied by making the lounge a bedroom and the bedroom a lounge. Overall it was disappointing because the situation was excellent. We appreciated the breakfast goodies and the splendid bedding

Perfect farm house stay

We loved our time as the Gate keepers! We enjoyed many a cup of tea on the verandah, watching the little birds. The brekkie provisions were most appreciated - yum! Greg was helpful when we needed him but left us to our own devices the rest of the time. In a word: perfect!

Summer holiday at the Gate Keepers Cottage, Willyung

A very quaint, secluded, quiet and private cottage. Not too far out of town, with a lovely cottage garden and grassy yard space. We stayed for one week over the summer break and found the cottage, due to the thick walled historical building was cool in temperature. Considering there is no kitchen, there is a small room with fridge and sink and bench space available for smaller food preparation, we coped well. The bbq was well used, by us, along with visits into the town for a great range of takeaways or dine in options. I would definitely return to Willyung Gate Keepers Cottage again.

Everything was good until the power outage

The property is spacious, location is good. Well furnished. There is no proper kitchen, the water from tap was not very transparent so we drank bottle water. On the last day of our stay, while we were warming food using the microwave, the power went off i think the circuit was over loaded which is surprising because we were not even using the heaters, just microwave. It was around 7pm when this happened, then we tried to call and message the property manager 10s of times but no answer. Eventually the water went off as well and did not come back next morning 7am. The whole night without power and water, it was hell of a night with a kid and elderly.

Veranda area needs thruogh clean including little table and pillows on cane chair. Can use some general repairs around garden front gate. For all this we enjoyed ouyr stay

Old World Charm

The cottage has been furnished with antiques and paintings of the era. Comfy beds with warm linen. Lovely gardens surrounds the cottage and you can sit on the verandah to enjoy a cup of tea. A short drive into town and surrounding sites. Not haunted, which was a big disappointment for my friend!
