The bed was comfy, we loved the fact that all basic cooking needs were there- oil, salt, tea, coffee and milk. The place was clean and serene, and we didn't realise until the following day that the fireplace was stacked and ready to light! Loved the fireplace too. It wasn't the best weather, so we stayed indoors, but the outdoors looked like a lovely area to explore. The wifi was fast and worked well, we were overall really happy with our stay- it was just what we needed to unwind and relax from our busy lives!! ##### Jo R.

Location of the Love shack was amazing, we already felt detoxed as we parked the car and we hadn't even opend the door! Upon entry, the shack was spotless, warm and cozy. There was plenty of wood for the fire, bed was comfy, spa was perfect and it was only about a 15ish minute drive to the restaurants with 5 star food.I already want to go back! If I was to nit pick and point out the faults which were very minor, I would say I was really excited to wake up to horses however there wasnt any around as pictured. Also the spa jets didnt turn inside the bath so they were either really strong or they had to be turned off, we couldn't adjust them.Thank you for a stay to remember, we will definitely be back some day, it was up there with one of the best! ##### Sarah K.

The place was dirty. A pair of broken chairs outside our window were removed as a kind of afterthought on our arrival. Outside chairs and table on ‘the deck’ were dirty. Dirty and smudged windows Dusty kitchen chairs (other than where someone had sat) Random used plastic bags left in kitchen draws Cob weds on the wall above the bed and around and above most windows, hanging around the shades. Big grey ones in kitchen. Toilet holder wonky and the bracket fell off the wall. No bench spray provided to properly clean. Smudges on dishes and glasses. Dirt in the drawers. No where to place/hang clothes so had to use the floor Crappy pots & pans. Sticky prints on fridge door. No paper towels provided incase of ANY spills. Dust on the ceiling fans (I’d be reluctant to turn them on) & on all ceiling shades. Inside Fire place not cleaned out. The pull chain on the blind broke. On closer inspection was previously ‘fixed’ with cable ties so we had a darkened room with no ‘view’. Botton of blinds along the rod and on some blinds were grimy. Sink could do with a good scrub to remove stains Dirt and webs in ‘accessible’ space between wall and fridge. It is described as a ‘romantic getaway’ but the place was more depressing. ##### Juliana B. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dale O. 11 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy house at a beautiful location. We loved our weekend getaway to the "Love Shack". We liked patting the grazing horses just a few metres away from the back door. The spa was fantastic. The house itself it's cosy and its isolated location is perfect for a getaway from the busy city life. ##### Dale O.
