Absolutely gorgeous. The only problem with this place is when you get there you won’t want to leave.

A true sanctuary as the name would suggest. The decor is cozy and authentic and the hot tub is perfect for cold nights in the mountains - the perfect getaway from the city.
A dishwasher would make the stay easier especially since they request that the dishes are washed and dried before you leave.

The location was nice and peaceful. The room was amazing and extremely clean. It was cozy. It had a big shower and plenty of room inside. The outdoor spa is very private. complimentary cider Love the late checkout.
Only feedback is that it’s a very remote area and it’s 1/2 hr from closest shops (Lithgow). So to enjoy your time in tranquility bring food supplies to cook.

beautiful little cottage, perfect for 2 to get away. Hot tub was a lovely luxury and space was just right. loved the fireplace and cosy decor.
could do with a few more cooking utensils/condiments, only 1 pair of tongs which were broken. Not really a lot to wash dishes with, just one very used tiny rag. Asked for hot tub to be filled on second day as the water was low but no response.

The tranquility and privacy.
A little bit off the beaten track.so be prepared to drive and arrive with provisions. Nonsign of the hosts but emergency contact details available.

It is the perfect place to go when you need to take a break from everything.
The lack of reception helped me stay off my phone and enjoy what was around me.
The lodge itself had everything that you would need and was located in the best spot.
It was so relaxing and being able to observe the nature really reminds you of what our country has.

We were lucky enough to get to stay at the Victoria Cottage for a last minute weekender. the cottage is cosy, clean and well kept and equipped with the essentials.
As the weather is crazy we got to use the fireplace despite coming into summer and the hot tub was a definite needed added relaxing bonus.

Loved the Amore cottage. Was gorgeous and had a fantastic time even if the weather didn't do us any favours

this property is beautiful. grey gums as far as the eye can see, hills, cliffs just beautiful. walked some of the grounds and it made it even more adorable
We stayed in Sirius Cottage and for a massive Potterhead, perfect
room was clean, tidy, well maintained and decor suited the overall atmosphere
plenty of privacy, other cottages nearby but not close enough to bother you
nothing (there is no sarcasm here)
I loved the drive out to the property, on the country roads, dirt in places, potholes, water, wildlife, birds, even the rain. just added to the secluded atmosphere

The location was perfect, we definately loved the Jacuzzi it was just perfect on the verandah with a glass of wine looking at the stunning view. The property had some walking tracks and we were lucky enough to see some rather large kangaroos bouncing past us. We had a very relaxing stay which is exactly what we wanted.
Unfortunately the bed wasn't the most comfortable and squeaked with just the slightest movement.
This had also been mentioned several times in the guest book.
There is a microwave but sadly no microwavable dishes to use in it.
Never the less the positives far outweighed the negatives.
7.0 / 10.0
Location, outlook, bird calls, wood fire, car parking. Staff near the gate when we arrived were extremely helpful. Electric blankets. Loved the spa.
Air conditioning didn't heat the full room. Wood fire also not fully effective. If the hardwood was chopped in half it would have helped. Dining chairs lacked back support. The weather was cold and the heating wasn't quite up to scratch.
8.0 / 10.0
Everything was perfect and beautiful location.
The bed. My partner and I could not fault any other aspect of our stay but the mattress really needs to be replaced. Shockingly uncomfortable.
