Not so isolated
Beautiful home, but there was another cottage with guests staying in it only a few steps from the back door which was not advertised on the website. This caused me to feel a bit stressed considering both parties had dogs. I came to the 'rural retreat' to get away from neighbours.The neighbours were also disappointed with the situation.

Relaxing Break
Thank you for the very pleasant stay. It felt so welcoming to walk in and have the lamps on - just what we needed to help switch off and relax. Everything was very comfortable, and we loved the fire and beautiful touches like the candles and lost of bread. Thanks again.

Great place to stay
Loved the house and was very clean and beautifully decorated. Very comfy beds. Was very pleasant sitting on the porch having breakfast overlooking the sheep and the odd kangaroo. Had everything we needed. Lovely quiet rural position and close to Mintaro, Clare and wineries. Was great we could take our little dog who enjoyed it a lot. Can definitely recommend his stay.

Tickled about Tickles Cottage
A very comfortable place to stay. Loved sitting in the verandah, painting, drinking wine and soaking in the lovely country atmosphere. Also loved being out of the way but close enough to anywhere we wanted to be! Loved the Magpie and Stump Hotel too!

A comfy, cosy cottage.
The property was spacious with everything we needed. The weather was freezing cold but there was wood to make the fire & it was comfy & cosy. Our dog loved the freedom to run around outside. We had a fabulous time.

Tickles Revue
We supplied our own breakfast cereal, bread, milk, butter. The location is great, the bed very comfortable and thank goodness for the air conditioners. For similar charges we have had more modern accomodation with welcoming bottle of port and confectionry along with a choice from a range of breakfast cereals. The left side bedside lamp has a loose connection into the switch causing the light to flutter if the light cord was moved. I greased the front door key lock since it was difficult to use the key.

Teakles cottage in May
A well-appointed old house retaining its charm with some modern conveniences. The heaters were very effective during our stay on a cold May long weekend and the fire in the lounge room was wonderful. Very quiet country location. The other rental property adjoins but did not impact our sense of seclusion. The Magpie and Stump hotel in nearby Mintaro is worth a meal or two - several small dining areas, fires and the locals at the bar make a great night out.
