The cottage was large enough for my family but also very cosy. The ducted aircon and slow combustion fire kept us warm the entire stay. We loved the outlook from the kitchen and my granddaughter enjoyed playing with our poodles in the huge backyard. Kangaroos and close proximity to rhododendron gardens was great.

We were disappointed with the description and communication about the property. Gas bottles run out and no instruction on how to deal with this. (Emergency phone number was not easy to locate). No pre-warning you have to buy your own wood for the fires. Heating system randomly turns down to 11 degrees, blows cold air and house becomes cold quickly. Birds nest in the tress over the driveway at night and leave an excessive amount of poop on cars. Best part about the place was the wildlife. Kangaroos and friendly Kookaburras.

Overall a very pleasant weekend. Perhaps the neighbours maybe asked to keep their music down...as its so very quite there - their music was heard in the cottage and some of the guests would have preferred not to hear it. It was terribly loud but loud enough to be heard inside the cottage.
