Small cottage was perfect for 2 people with a great view of the mountains out the window. Sat on the back porch watching birds in the trees. The only thing was the path to the river was blocked so we could not access. There were plenty of other nearby opportunities go get to the river though. Totallly relaxing with comfortable beds, couch and outside area. ##### Belinda Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica W. 24 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful scenery in a peaceful town Beautiful accommodation, stunning location. River access had a fallen tree, but added some adventure to our trip! The skylight windows are just gorgeous, an amazing way to wake in the morning. Love the facilities provided and practical things like pillows, plates, cutlery, picnic basket etc Bedroom fan needs some attention, but not a hot weekend so all good x ##### Jessica W.
