My pet Frankie and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Clovelly Cottage. The accommodation was well thought out and appointed. VERY comfortable and welcoming.
The gardens are absolutely stunning and we were invited to enjoy the “Garden House” to enjoy the views without the winter chill. What a joy.

Would come again
Entrance signage should be clearer. The sign indicating entrance further up the road with arrow is almost unreadable.

We loved our stay at Clovelly Cottage and the gardens are just magnificent.
One reason we booked it was that it had the Coonara fire.
No wood was supplied even though they advertise it .
No wood was available in Metung so we had to drive back to the highway and luckily we were able to get a bag at Swan Reach.

Very average
The online booking process was a nightmare. Upon booking this property I received 9 emails confirming accomodation at alternate locations 2 days to sort all of that out and uncertainty as to whether I’d actually booked the correct accomodation Upon arrival, host who lives on the property was not aware we were coming. Front gate was closed. Lights were off. Property itself
Ok but the one thing we wanted to do was light an open fire and the host came down to the property and told us that was not allowed, they do not supply firewood Why then was this property advertised with an open fire place??? Bedding was minimal No breakfast items Rea/ coffee that was it Fairly average. Good lo location
