Magnolia Cottage in Cooroy is a delightful, dog-friendly retreat! 🏡✨ The fenced yard was perfect for my dogs, and the cottage itself was cozy, clean, and well-equipped. The comfortable bed and thoughtful amenities made our stay enjoyable. The location was ideal for exploring nearby parks and trails, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend it for a relaxing getaway!

Delightful home on gorgeous grounds reminded us of summer holidays at the family estate when times were simpler and happier. Secluded yet offers easy access to surrounding towns. The beds are very comfortable, and it was lovely to wake up to birdsong every morning. Will definitely stay again for a longer stretch of time.

Building was as advertised, however there were issues which spoiled the weekend. Remote on TV was playing up, after an hour we worked out the batteries were going flat. Spare batteries in the butlers pantry were the wrong size. Sound Bar was aweful, and there was no Cable and the remote (now working) was aweful. Then we were interrupted with people trying to access the stables, that wasted an hour, they eventually went off to find other acccommodations, but arrived back a few hours later after getting on to VRBO. Dish Washer - the door wouldnt close properly and was leaking water. Only 2 of the 5 burners on the stove were working. We were looking forward to a barbque - it was filthy, full of cockroaches, and there were rat droppings inside it and it was covered in grease. Outside of the building was mildewed, gardens overgrown and half dead, and the pond covered in a oily slime. Also the septic near the stables (which you have to walk past to access the house) was a bit whiffy and looked like it was leaking into the surrounding ground. Also the driveway was VERY steep and unpaved. Other than that it was OK. It's a shame as most of these issues are easily fixable and come down to having a bit of pride in your property and consideration for the people staying there. I would not recommend this property, and will not be staying there again.

Loved the beautiful grounds. House felt clean, warm and welcoming and had lots of lovely touches. We loved our stay at Magnolia cottage and we were made to feel our pup was very welcome there too. Very relaxing stay and would definitely visit again. We did run into some problems with one of our cars however not being able to get up the driveway- the 4WD had no trouble however our Mazda sedan couldn’t climb the steep, loose gravel driveway and if it weren’t for the fantastic, lovely neighbours up the road coming to our rescue and allowing us to use their yard and driveway we could have been facing an expensive tow.
All in all though, a wonderful weekend break away.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage but was a little disappointed with the close proximity of additional accommodation and guests.
The shared access road needs a lot of upgrading as I had great difficulty getting my car back up to the main road.

Spacious cottage with spacious rooms!
Everything was clean and overall cottage had a nice homely feel to it.

Would definitely revisit!

Lovely place to chill for a few days with the fur kids
Such a lovely property that is made even better by the fully fenced yard so we could enjoy our few days off with the dogs. Beautiful house and lovely managers. Only tricky bit is that the shared driveway has suffered damage from the recent rains and is a bit difficult to navigate in a small front wheel drive car. Otherwise a lovely relaxing stay.

Magnolia Cottage Getaway
We all wished we could stay longer. Much, much longer. The cottage was clean and felt very warm and inviting. Bedrooms were cosy and comfortable with large beds. The kitchen was big with plenty of space to move, including a well stocked butler's pantry.
We loved the tranquility of the garden and the peaceful setting - absolutely beautiful. We spent a lot of time just sitting in the garden, listening to the birds. We also had a lovely picnic by the pond.
A supermarket and various restaurant and take away options are available a short drive away. On the first night we had dinner at the local Chinese restaurant. The food was delicious.
Overall we were very happy with our stay. So much so, we decided to stay an extra night. We'd love to come back again soon and would highly recommend Magnolia Cottage for a family getaway. 10/10!
Thank you Nicci and Noel.

Perfect getaway with pets
Four humans and two dogs had a wonderful 5 night stay. A quick getaway out of Brisbane. The house was perfect: Clean, easy, warm and had everything we needed. The fire pit was used 4 nights out of the five, so enjoyable! Easy to get to town and further afield. Lots to do around the area. Would definitely recommend this property.

Paradise!
Nicci and Noel have got to be the best hosts for any property we’ve stayed at by a long shot. From the beginning of the booking process they were so quick to respond and we’re so helpful telling us all the best places to visit for our trip. The property, wow! What a dream! We took two dogs with us and they loved it just as much as us! We are all so sad to leave but we will most definitely be back.
Thank you both so much for sharing this paradise with us!

This is the perfect property to have a relaxing couple of days. Perfect for a group. Noel and Nicci were excellent hosts with communication being excellent. The pantry was well stocked and just the little things like mosquito coils, tissues etc being on hand. The setting is something out of a picture book with lake, bridge and magnificent gardens. Bedrooms are huge, very comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms. A repeat visit will certainly be on the cards for us. Loved every minute of our stay.

Upon arriving at "Magnolia Cottage" our first impressions were "WOW" what a totally amazing and finely manicured place. The gardens, landscape and views are absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous, the words to describe it is picturesque and serene. Literally a piece of paradise on Earth. The yard and decking areas are very well fenced and our little Jack Russell Oscar was totally safe and enclosed and not able to get out of the fenced area which was awesome! So Well done! Nicci the Owner was great at all times and communicated very well, she made us feel at home and was extremely helpful. A few points that would make Magnolia Cottage absolutely perfect are, it would be nice to have some tissues and air freshner in the cottage. I could not find any, but everything else was well stocked. A clothes line near the washing machine and dryer would be great to enable guests to hang out towels and washing to air dry. The house is very well appointed and lovely but the kitchen is on the older side and the inside of the cupboards and drawers need a really good clean with disinfectant. I found them quite dirty. The kitchen sinks were I am sorry Nicci but a total turn off and almost spoilt my stay, the stains and age of the sinks was not very nice, nor was the downstairs bathroom basin, the kitchen sinks really need to be replaced or bleached or re-enameled and the bathroom sink, the surrounding timber is bordering on mouldy. The oven needs a thorough clean also, it wasn't very clean. Thank you for a comfortable stay, the bedrooms were lovely and the heating was comforting. We hope to come back again one day when the kitchen has had it's improvements.

Weekend stay
Very comfortable. The house was quite cold on arrival and we needed to put on the heaters to warm it up. We think it may not be warm enough in winter. Also the downstairs bathroom vanity is in poor condition as well as the kitchen sinks and surrounding timber top. Otherwise all was good and we enjoyed our stay with our fur babies who loved all the exploring opportunities. Thank you

Perfect for You and Your Pet
We had a wonderful time at Magnolia Cottage. It was more than just a cottage, it was a beautiful home. The owners supplied so much more in relation to basics that you would usually find in your average holiday apartment. We didn't want for any supplies and found that much of what we had taken ourselves was not required. Can't say enough about the wonderful time we had and this was simply due to what was included and the beautiful cottage itself. Perfect for any holiday. The yard was large and much appreciated by our very active border collie. Thanks again for a wonderful break away and we will be back.
