Great little getaway from the busy city

Nice and relaxing stay, with many options from adventuring or if your version of relaxing is wineries and breweries there is plenty to do OR just stay in and read a book with stunning views.

Great relaxing getaway

Had a lovely few nights at the cottage in the bush. It was clean and cosy, with a fun outdoor shower. We explored the coast and the mountains so this location was great. Highly recommend!

Couldn't have been better

We spent a magical 3nts at the cabin and it couldn't have been more perfect. Anne and Alan have thought of everything. It's so comfortable with a beautiful view for coffee in bed. Location is secluded and peaceful. We will definitely be back and, in fact, didnt want to leave

Lovely trip away

We had a beautiful weekend away here! The property is stunning and right in the bush. It was a little hard to find as we arrived in the dark but was worth it. The property looked like the photos and the outdoor shower was great! The kitchen is decently stocked and the bbq works great! We would love to stay again

Off gird solace

We loved the outdoor shower and the place was fully equipped with everything you could ever need. We had a really relaxing stay however, if you aren't a fan of bugs and creepy crawlies just be sure to pack some citronella. Our favourite parts were the long, lazy mornings spent in bed with the doors open overlooking the forrest. All facilities woth a pub 10 mins down the road.

Great little hideaway

Quiet and far from the maddening crowd are the perfect descriptions for this place. Love it. Granted it is not going to be to everyone's liking but it was exactly what we were looking for to recharge amongst nature. Simply perfect.

Pleasant stay

Arrived at a quaint little converted train carriage with outstanding views and a beautiful warm cosy fire. Loved the outdoor shower with a view but was missing a bench for clothes to change into. The things we were disappointed in was the bar fridge (too small) no oven or microwave. Could have done with more plates and bowls. And unfortunately a slight rat problem that things in the kitchen should have been replaced. Overall it was a really nice stay and a good escape for our birthday in the country setting

Loved the location and the peacefulness of the cottage. Very clean and comfortable space, had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Enjoyed listening to the birds and wildlife. Great spot if you want to visit Bundanon Museum and Art Gallery nearby. Only notes are that the listing advised “coffee maker” so expected an espresso machine. Coffee and tea was provided though which was really nice, the addition of milk in the fridge would have been a nice touch.

Perfect escape

This was better than I expected. I was hoping for a quiet, secluded getaway and we didn't see another person while we were there. The cottage is gorgeous and the kitchen has pretty much everything. It was so relaxing. I was nervous about the outside shower as there are no photos, but it was great! The view is stunning and I wish we didn't have to go home.

Peaceful and private in spectacular bush

Really groovy cottage (half of it is a converted train carriage!) with panoramic views of pristine bush. Totally private and peaceful with good amenities. There’s no oven, but the kitchen is nice to cook in and the bbq is good too. The kitchen has all the basic crockery, pots and pans, but it’s worth bringing a good knife as well as all the oil, spices and other stuff you’ll need :) We loved this place and felt very calm and refreshed after our stay. The hosts were generous and kind. We would love to come back
