The perfect little escape
This is the sort of place you can arrive at and not feel the need to leave till check out time arrives. Submersed in nature, with plenty of privacy my family and i were able to unwind and escape the usual Sydney rat race. The lemon tree was a blessing as we enjoyed a jug of fresh lemonade as the fireplace providd warmth on one of winters coldest nights. The hens and fresh eggs made for that authentic countryside experience. The kitchen is well equipped and also included an air fryer, the bedrooms were spacious, plenty of toys for the kids and the heated tiles in the upstairs bathroom was an amazing touch for those cold days.

Beautiful home. Stunning location.
Stayed for a few nights linked to a family wedding and really enjoyed the excitement of that first checkin moment, and returning each day after being out. Its a very relaxing ambience with space and the sounds of rustling leaves and happy birds. If im in town again, ill be checking the availability of Kell Cottage first. Dealing with Susan was excellent - very prompt and supportive. Thanks

Peaceful home
Our family of 6 and our dog had a wonderful 5 night stay at Kell cottage. The home is very well equipped and comfortable, light filled and very aesthetic decor. The grounds are beautiful and extensive. Huge area behind the flying fox for playing family cricket with our dog ecstatically fielding. Our 13 and 15 year olds loved the chickens and the flying fox. We had a delightful meal at the local Italian restaurant. Having just had surgery I appreciated being able to eat free range eggs from the chickens. Beds were comfortable and lovely bathroom. Excellent communication from Susan. We would love to come again!

The property provided all that we needed for our weekend getaway. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and being close to nature - feeding the chooks and birdlife, seeing the bunnies and kangaroos hoping around. All six of our group would be happy to return for another holiday weekend.

We had such a wonderful time in Bundanoon. The kids had so much fun riding bikes and talking to the hens. Communication with the owner was great and the house was spotless. I would recommend this home to anyone - even in the pouring rain there was lots to do.

Peaceful green retreat
Kell Cottage was a very relaxing spot for our end of year break. The house and garden were very spacious and well-appointed. We were visited by many species of birds, bunnies and kangaroos. We enjoyed feeding the chickens and collecting their eggs. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable holiday with a large extended family group.

Luxurious & peaceful family home
Kell Cottage is a luxurious family home in a peaceful part of Bundanoon. It's very well equipped with quality furnishings, plenty of pantry staples, & we also particularly enjoyed the fresh eggs from the hen-house. There's good wifi but poor/no mobile coverage; lots of books, games & DVDs (and a Netflix-capable TV). The beds are comfortable and the spacious main bathroom has a good shower. We'd definitely stay again. Photos are all accurate & communication with the hosts was a breeze.
