From the moment we walked into this exquisite property, we were taken aback by its beauty, the attention to detail & the thoughtful welcome pack left for us by the owners. This property is so tastefully decorated, we felt like we were stepping straight into a home fresh out of a magazine. The beds were extremely comfortable, the linen sublime, the kitchen was fully equipped & the information folders were easy to follow & extremely helpful. The garden on this property was enchanting & our absolute highlight. Sitting on the veranda with a glass of red, a cheese platter, surrounded by the breathtaking gardens was heaven. The location of this property was perfect. We were a short stroll to the Main Street of Hepburn Springs, which provided a lovely variety of café’s & restaurants. Having peppers resort around the corner was a handy surprise also. We highly recommend Illoura & hope whom ever stays here will have the same beautiful experience as we did! ##### Linda P. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela L. 10 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A beautiful, clean and thoughtfully appointed cottage A beautiful, clean and thoughtfully appointed little cottage in a fabulous location. Our family enjoyed two nights at Illoura during winter. The cottage was warm, cozy and had everything we needed, including quality towels and linen. The hamper of local products left for us was a lovely touch, we especially enjoyed the hot chocolate and marshmallows. ##### Angela L.
