It was so peaceful and private and felt like home. The description was all correct but the grounds are more beautiful than the photos. Our little Cavoodle absolutely loved the space that he had to run around and explore- all safe and fully fenced . Bowral, Mittagong, Berrima and other beautiful towns are easy driving distance. This was the perfect location to use as a base for exploring the gorgeous Southern Highlands. ##### Deanne M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel P. 20 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cottage - clean and super warm fire! Lovely cute cottage with everything you need in the kitchen and awesome selection of movies to watch cosied to the fireplace (that was all setup ready to just light when we arrived). Plenty of wood for a few days. Nice little drive to Bowral and Mittagong with their great food and thousands of antique shops! The biggest challenge was with no wifi we were stuck relying on 2 bars of intermittent 3G reception from Telstra. Made it really hard to get the small amount of work I needed todo whilst away. If your looking for a digital detox, then this is the place for you. ##### Daniel P.
