Summary: One of the hosts did not pay attention to our concerns about the four dogs. It wasn’t stated on the website that guests were expected to wait in their car until the dogs dispersed. We did as instructed, but one guest with a disability needing two sticks for support, had a dog jump up and badly scratch her arm which required medical attention and a tetanus shot and a script for antibiotics. The other large dog liked to lean on you and when politely requested for the dog to be called away, the host ignored the request. Eventually the owner agreed for the dogs to be locked up for 10 minutes so we could get inside if we rang 20 minutes in advance.The toilet smelt when we arrived and became more smelly each day from septic and we followed all instructions using it. No ventilation in the laundry meant the odour didn’t disperse.The cottage wasn’t clean and there was food left in the fridge from previous guests. We swept the porch and wiped sticky surfaces and washed dishes that had not been cleaned properly. Ants came in from a bedroom window from an unsealed area at the window and crawled onto the bed when a guest was in bed. The outdoor furniture was covered in dog hair and was dirty.There is no walk from the cottage door as stated on the website as the path disappears after 5 minutes and has not been cleared and there were numerous thistles spreading.A lack of attention to detail with no hand towels and missing cutlery and abandoned ceramic bowls upturned at the entrance

Summary: Comfortable home, surrounded by nature, quiet, lovely visiting pack of dogs. Owners are very easy to reach if needed. Close to Kieth Kiln regional park so worth a visit!

Summary: I have a lovely couple of nights at this property. The place is clean and nice, and the surrounding forest is beautiful. The wood heater was super impressive! So easy to use and kept the whole house warm all night (in winter!) Best indoor wood heater I've ever seen by far! The hose was lovely as were her dogs, who were very friendly with mine. A+++ !!! Looking forward to returning one day, I highly recommend this place

Summary: Relaxing and homely
Daryl D. Oct 12, 2023 07:42:59 AM
Summary: Overall good. I misread the fine print thinking there was central heating. As an urban dweller I was at first disappointed at having to chop wood and light the wood fire but very quickly I found it rewarding. The wood fire did not heat the entire house and we only used one bedroom. That said, the cottage and it’s bush setting had a charm of its own. The property did have a dilapidated bus and caravan, not sure if this was very pleasing! The location was great, very close to other wonderful mountain suburbs and their own attractions and eateries (Bam Bam—-Italian, The Independent—-Argentinian both super).

Summary: Clean properly that presents as advertised Thankyou for having us
