Ultimate Tranquility
As a solo traveler Jacaranda Farm Cottage was a wonderful opportunity to get away from suburbia without having to drive for hours alone. The property was a perfect size for one or many, and offered the peace and quiet I was in need of. Hosts Janine and Andrew were very accommodating and happy to assist with any needs. I will definitely return.

Amazing place - you have to try it
The property is set amongst the farm and its animals. Such pretty flowers and native plants. The actual cottage is larger than I had thought and very well equipped with new appliances and great selection of crockery etc. The log fire gave the cottage a really homely glow that we used for both nights. The outside deck was a bonus and so peaceful. All in all this is a 10 out of 10. I will be back.

The cottage and the property were every bit as good as it looked. My group of friends and I had a wonderful time, as it was exactly what we envisaged. We enjoyed visiting places nearby, and then to return to the gorgeous cottage to enjoy the serenity was magnificent.

Great Weekend getaway
Lovely property, with excellent accomodation, the house was larger than it appeared in the photos which suited us perfectly. Great location being next to the Paruna Sanctury which is a lovely place to emerse yourself in nature. Very thoughtful touches with Milk in Fridge a selection of Teas , a fruit bowl full of Mandarins from the property and flowers. Thank you so much Andrew and Janine
