The cottages are warm and cosy and allthough they seemed small to start with allowed us to spend great quality time together. We loved the great welcome and service frim Maggie et the homemade bread, cookies and delicious muffins! Looking at the property from the deck was a really chilled experience with many birds, magpies and parrots coming to visit, kangaroos and an amazing sky at night. ##### Christophe J.

The cottage was roomy, clean and cosy. From the start, the hosts were welcoming provided valuable information about the cottage. The cottage itself was homely and spacious. Two bedrooms, a well presented bathroom and cooking facilities. The cottage also had a wood fire that warmed the whole cottage. The owners also provided many home comforts such as freshly baked bread, jams selection, freshly baked cookies, breakfast cereals, french press coffee and tea. They also provide hot water bottles. The cottages are close to lake Eildond and a short drive to Mansfield and Jamieson and look out over mountains. The cottage is a great relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life and a unique stay. ##### Alastair J.

The attention was also excellent since a lady used to gift us things, like cookies, muffins and all of that was delicious. The bathrooms worked well, the place was clean and the beds so comfortable. I recommend this place to the tourists that are going to the mountains to enjoy the snow ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0df43870-0c69-45a9-ac6b-ac17fb59c8c2-1752632043360.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roberto M.
