Review of premises

I would like to give 5 stars for the communications between myself and the owner. She was very accomodating and helpful. Prompt in her responses and very clear on her expectations. As to the premises, the quaint little cottage style home was well appointed, newly renovated and very comfortable to accomodate 4 adults. The premises was tidy and well kept and I would definitely recommend this property to others wishing to stay in Somerset dam village, only a 5 minute drive to the dam.

Renovation special

A stunningly renovated interior of a cute little cottage. Perfect for a small family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children). The property is obviously used by the owners as their holiday home but also let out to visitors on the occasion. There are a number of cupboards in the house that are inaccessible (locked) with owner's personal items and fridge space not cleared out for visitors to use. It feels like we are house sitting, but all the while under 'watch' and surveillance by the owners. On the first morning of our stay, I was sent a text message from the owners accusing us of 'tampering' with the internet which caused disruption tot he owner's video camera surveillance of the property. It was very strange as I have no idea why that was the assumption, nor for that matter why the owner was checking the video cameras while we were using the cottage. It did feel like an invasion of privacy. The property is obviously still under renovation as there are some things that are work in progress. For example, there is no functioning cooktop or rangehood in the full sized family kitchen. There is a portable induction plate in the cupboards that can be used, but no fry pan available, so we had to improvise how I cooked eggs for my kids for breakfast in the morning. There were no black tea bags provided, however the coffee pod machine was a generous and lovely provision - thank you. Overall, we were happy with the location and activities available in the area, although we were very disappointed that the air show was cancelled at short notice which was the reason why we travelled to somerset in the first place. I loved our stay, but I will probably not choose this property again given the accusatory message from the owners about their security system. I would suggest that the owner should consider keeping their security system in a locked cabinet if they are concerned about surveillance of their personal items stored at the property. Thanks for having us again,

Peaceful and relaxing

Cottage is roomy, spotlessly clean, has everything you could possibly want. The host is very helpful and responsive. Back landing is a haven and comes with resident kookaburras. I wish I could have stayed longer.

About the host

Hosted by Sonia Muller

We love adventure and travel. We enjoy water sports, mountain biking adventures, motorbike riding and a healthy active lifestyle.
Always important to us to take time out to chill and cherish nature and the fresh air.

Why they chose this property

We spent many weekends and holidays here raising our 2 gorgeous kids in the fresh air with fun n play skiing on the dam and in the safety of a fabulous community. This home has had a few renovations over the years having been originally a workers cottage when the dam wall was built. This place won’t let you down if you’re chasing a sweet little home and a relaxing get away with all the comforts you need.
