We were a family group and stayed for a weekend. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with clear entry instructions. It is a lovely setting with a beautiful view over paddocks. Electric blankets in beds much appreciated. For the price paid per night and the location with limited access to shops after 5pm it would have been nice to have kitchen basics such as a small supply of milk/cooking oil/butter made available. Would also be nice for the stove top to be updated as it was a very old electric cooktop and very slow to heat up and use. Otherwise kitchen well- supplied with cutlery and crockery.

The location and property were absolutely perfect however 2 key points that will prevent us from returning which are in no way any of fault of the property owners. 1. No phone service which made check in a little difficult and our stay a little unsafe (see point 2) 2. We had a visit from the police at 2.34am banging on every door around the verandah and not once announcing they were the police until I got up (extremely afraid at this point bearing in mind it was just my son and myself). They were apparently looking for a missing person and this address was listed. Needless to say I did not sleep for the rest of the stay. If it wasn’t for the 2nd point, this place was perfect and we would stay there frequently but that was a very scary experience for us

It is a lovely, tranquil place to stay and enjoy the scenery and nature.

Great cottage - exactly as described. Only thing that would be good to add is more brochures in the house on local bushwalks and attractions.

Kitchen pans were not clean and kitchen was not well equipped to cook with stove not working. Beds were uncomfortable for everyone.

Great time amongst the rural land and nature and local shops, great location of the property on top of the Hill. Be good to have some DVDs to watch and maybe some WiFi

The Laguna cottages are a lovely, quiet getaway. Relaxing views across the paddock with cows grazing and the occasional wallaby, plus forcing the whole family to disconnect from the internet was great. The wrap-around balcony is wonderful. What wasn't clear in the listing is that the two cottages are separated by over 100 metres, so that was a pleasant surprise as you felt like you were effectively on your own. The owners have provided everything you could need for a comfortable stay - all facilities are top notch, with a modern kitchen, laundry facilities incl. clothesline, and powerful air conditioners. A few notes: - One of the rooms is accessible via doors that open onto the balcony or porch. So you have to exit the main house to get to it. It has its own a/c, two beds and a fold up bed, so is great for kids, but they'll need to cross the porch into the main house to get to the bathroom. - The BBQ listed is an small electric hotplate one. - There are small general stores within 10 mins drive, but the nearest town with supermarkets etc is Cessnock, which is a 40min drive.

Excellent communication and wonderful place - very clean with all amenities. A great stay!
