About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cottage to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"Get away from the world for a while"

Cottage is set on 25 acres, on the side of a hill, above the tree lined Angus river. It is a self catering rural retreat for 2 people. The non hosted B&B accommodation is set up as a romantic getaway for two, completely private from the road on a working beef cattle farm.
Included are previsions for full cooked breakfasts for each day.
There is no BBQ, oven or hot plates but we have an electric frying pan, microwave, toaster, kettle bar fridge utensils etc. There are 2 pubs and a cafe in Macclesfield with good food and they can do take away.
For safety we do not allow candles to be used in or around the cottage but we have supplied some solar lights instead.
Because Mirrabooka is designed to "Get away from the world for a while" there is no TV, but we do have games, books and peace & quiet. Also NO WIFI but you can get mobile coverage.
The bedroom and lounge open out onto the balcony where the spa bath is screened by bamboo and roller blinds if you want.

Amazing place! So peaceful, clean, quiet and secluded. We absolutely loved every minute of this phenomenal getaway, and the food at the Three Brothers Hotel in nearby Macclesfield, was some of the best food i have ever eaten

Wonderful place to stay. Nice and quiet. Place was clean and well equiped. We were given eggs and bacon for us to cook breakfast. Good walk down by the creek. Close to Macclesfield to get dinner, recommend The Three Brothers.

Great property to get away from it all so serene but close enough to Macclesfield to enjoy dining out at the 2 hotels which were both wonderful in very different ways. Breakfast provisions were lovely but was missing condiments and Vegemite ect.

A perfect weekend getaway
The place was very clean and well put together. We enjoyed playing boardgames overlooking the fields listening to the babbling brook (and in the evening the Koalas). Close enough to Strathalbyn to pop over to check out the farmers market but far enough away that you feel away from it all. Would love to stay here again in the future 😊

Beautiful secluded hills stay
Second time to Mirabooka - it is a lovely quiet place with gorgeous trees, birds and very peaceful. Maybe could do with a salad bowl. We loved the stay - thank you.
