Perfect Getaway
Absolutely beautiful place to enjoy going away for the weekend. The cottage was super cozy and romantic. Everything was very clean and the supplied breakfast options were a great touch. We enjoyed just sitting out on the chairs overlooking the garden enjoying our breakfast. Great place to unwind and do nothing.

Just stunning.
It may have been a half an hour out of Canberra, but it was worth it! Pure opulence. Awesome green shady gardens made flash surrounds. Beautiful birds in the trees, kangaroos and bunnies munching on the lawn in the evening. And superb accommodation made you feel spoilt. Simply superb and highly recommended.

A peaceful place to stay
We stayed for three nights over a long weekend. The cottage was perfect: peaceful, quiet, and with everything we needed, including numerous little touches that were very thoughtful and hospitable. The gardens were beautifully maintained. It was a great place to relax.

Beautiful Elouera Garden Cottage at Carwoola
Phenomenal is the only way to describe the Elouera Garden Cottage. We were thrilled at how beautiful the cottage was with its limestone walls, timber windows and covered verandah with fruiting grape vines. The cottage was so well presented - spotlessly clean, well-stocked and with a very thoughtfully put together breakfast starter kit. The accommodation was excellent for our group of 3 adults, and we enjoyed the quiet, peaceful location looking out to beautiful gardens. The cottage was a great location for exploring Canberra while staying in a more rural area. Thanks to the hosts for a great stay.

Superb accommodation
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. The cottage was clean and well equipped, couldn't fault it at all. Location was ideal for us, as we like peace and quiet. We toured NSW and ACT for a couple of weeks and this was by far the best cottage we stayed in. We thoroughly recommend this cottage to other travellers.

We absolutely loved this cottage on a beautiful well kept property with stunning gardens and birdlife. All the extra finishing touches make this place very special. Very close to Canberra but remote enough to feel like we were away from it all. Would definitely recommend this accomodation.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location
The cottage and garden were strikingly beautiful from the first impression. Well appointed, comfortable and private in a well kept garden. The hosts were friendly and knowledgeable about the local area, and the shops and amenities of Queanbeyan and Canberra were nearby an accessible. A very relaxing and peaceful place!

Lovely cottage set in gorgeous garden
The owners have built this beautifully appointed cottage next to the main house but it is still quite private and overlooks a lovely garden. The fridge and cupboards were well stocked with breakfast foods and the bed was very comfortable.

Great property
Great place to stay. All we needed was provided including breakfast provisions. Rooms were spacious and well heated. Bathroom was spotless and bathroom products were lovely. Grounds were also a delight and well maintained. Hosts were friendly. It was about 15mins from Queanbeyan but worth the extra trip for a peaceful and comfortable stay
