Firewood's supplied free of charge. Air conditioning's also provided if you want quick and easy heating. The cottage is hidden down a 200 metre long sealed asphalt driveway into a clearing set around luscious subtropical rainforest. There’s a small steep section of the driveway but it has good traction for 2WD cars as it’s sealed with asphalt. The cottage is completely private with no neighbours around but you'll share the bush with an abundance of birdlife, if you're lucky you might see a koala but if you're unlucky you might get a leach (after heavy rain) - that's just the bush. It's a perfect location for an overnight stopover or for a few days to unwind in nature. If you don't want to completely disconnect from tech there's free wifi and a chrome cast TV. A landline is also provided if you don't receive good mobile phone reception that you can make outgoing local/national calls. There's lots of creeks nearby to explore only a 5 minute drive and the town and beach is only a short 15 minute drive away. If you have any special requests I'm always happy to accommodate. Pets are welcome free of charge. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/78000000/77870000/77869800/77869742/47366ea7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Never Never Cottage Gleniffer - Pool - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=77869742&PinnedHotelID=77869742&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101770000/101760700/101760619/f9e2f480.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Entire home in Bonny Hills, Australia Bonny Hills - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 3 reviews £528 includes taxes & fees 19 Jan - 20 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=101760619&PinnedHotelID=101760619&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Spa](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9623900/9623844/55c083b6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ki-ea Apartments Port Macquarie - Pool - Kids’ pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.4 Exceptional 352 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=9623844&PinnedHotelID=9623844&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33260000/33252700/33252603/7e09a7f4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy 2 Bedroom Villa with super comfortable KING BEDS & luxury linen.

Mainly in the lounge and kitchen area. ##### Kim J. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Christopher B. 7 Jan 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property and wildness This is a very cute little cottage with beautiful greenery all around. Very quick and easy check in and out. The only downside was it had a very unpleasant damp smell when you first walk in. There was a dehumidifier to help but it had to be emptied multiple times. This is definitely a laid back lifestyle. a few cob webs inside.There wasn't any itemised tea ,coffee or bread.General used jam, sauce and jar of coffee Tv reception wasn't very good. The stay itself was nice and the new fittings and appliances were lovely. abit unsure about the no certains at the start but it was nice waking up to the rainforest. ##### Christopher B.
