Lovely cozy place to stay
We arrived late and were a bit lost finding the place in the dark - but Kate helped us out beautifully. The cottage is a cosy stay and I loved walking around cahuna, birdwatching and enjoying the clean, interesting town.

Cohuna long weekend escape
Good old house with everything you need for a couple, great if you have dogs as it is fenced and has plenty of room for them to run/play, Open fireplaces were great but you have to source your own firewood witch could be a hassle for some people and also costly buying it in bags, we enjoyed our stay

One word - exquisite
I couldn't put into words how incredible this property is and do it any kind of justice. From the moment you drive down the leafy, covered entrance, you know you're in for something special! The house just exceeds expectation and I felt so spoilt wandering through the meticulously decorated spaces. It was almost like walking back in time, in the most splendid way. Location was quiet enough to relax, yet close enough to meet every need that we had.A special thank you to our lovely host for making our time in Cohuna so wonderful. It truly was so amazing. We will most definitely be back.

A comfortable family home
The house is spacious and nicely furnished and the kitchen is well equipped. The outdoor dining area was lovely, shaded under a big tree. The house is a short bike ride from the town centre. We enjoyed our stay.

Great for families
We holidayed as two couples with 5 kids aged 3-14, and a dog. There was something for everyone and the kids thought the house was amazing. It was much larger than expected from the photos and we assumed when booking that it was single bathroom, so we were very happily surprised to find two full bathrooms.

Comfortable and cosy
The property suited out needs as we were there with our dogs for the weekend. It has a large yard which was great for their exercise, entertaining on a warm evening, and space for parking behind the gate. Suits a family with loads of space in upstairs medrooms if you have kids however the upstairs bedrooms would not be suitable for older (60+) people due to the stairs.

Interesting old house.
Interesting old house with lots of bric a brac and big dog friendly garden although beware of unfriendly dogs in the neighbourhood. Large attic bedrooms upstairs but divided by a non full height wall. Enjoyed our stay. Great for our adult family.

Warm and friendly house. Well equipped with everything you need. Very dog and kid friendly and the downstairs area stayed cool on the hot days. Kate was really helpful and responsive. Can't wait to return.

Great base for exploring the Gunbower area and it's surrounds
Perfect period cottage with large garden on the edge of town - a bit quirky but that's good. It's in a town street but the neighbouring houses don't intrude. Pub and cafe walkable. Inside and outside fires are a bonus particularly during the unseasonal cold snap we endured. Just one bathroom might be tight if all the beds are occupied but not an issue for us (just a couple). A nice stay.

Tranquil ambiance
Great location very accessible to town, history of the property was very interesting and a pleasant surprise to see some of the original items still in place. Absolute bonus to be pet friendly so our dog had an enclosed yard to be in and safe with lots of room to run. Would recommend to anyone wanting a nice stay with a difference.

Lovely home with all you need
I stayed at Gunbower Cottage with my husband, three teenagers and my parents. The house is gorgeous and very well equipped. Plenty of room for us all. We didn’t have enough time to enjoy the lovely gardens and upper deck, but would love to return to enjoy all the cottage gas to offer.

Absolutely delightful, historic cottage set in beautiful gardens
We enjoyed our stay at Gunbower Cottage so much that it felt like we were leaving our own home when it came time to leave. We spent a week at the cottage and it simply wasn't long enough. There is just so much to do as a family in Cohuna, with the highlights being swimming and kayaking on Gumbower Creek (we highly recommend you book a kayaking tour through the hosts with local guide Greg, who is an expert on the local bird life). The cottage itself was beautiful and well equipped for self-catering, including plenty of cupboard staples. We are already planning our next stay.
