Relaxing bush retreat

Instant calmness. Loved the cabin. Sat and had a cuppa on the balcony, enjoyed tending to the wood heater and slept so well in the comfy bed. Perfect base for Bruny island tours from Kettering. Great cafe in Woodbridge for all day breakfast and picking up some lunch for a day of travelling f

The cabin- wake up to the sound of birds

Beautiful cabin with lots of surprises such as breakfast muesli and granola. Lovely chat with the owner. Our only problem was finding the address which was not on the Stayz site. Following a pin drop point didn’t work.

Best find

We loved this cabin. I often need to clean a place before I can relax and stay. This cabin was so clean, for many this isn't an issue. But I was immediately comfortable and could just use everything without my OCD taking over. Honestly, places like this are hard to find. The hosts were amazing, the cabin was beautiful. We would stay here again in a heart beat.
