The property is unique and located in an excellent spot. It has a wonderful feel. I was able to take my dog inside and he was welcome. It's a classic place that is memorable to stay, and the check-in was easy, and there were little things like some milk and teas etc to make settling in easy

Highway noise

Cottage had character & well appointment. Bedroom open plan & second upstairs in a mezzanine so lack of privacy & not being able to close off bedroom to help block out the highway noise lots of trucks during the night otherwise cozy & comfortable.

Thank you so much for having us at your lovely Little Fig Tree Cottage. It was warm, cozy, and incredibly welcoming — the perfect home away from home. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit!

Fantastic stay

Stayed overnight after visiting friends for lunch, rather than face a 3hr drive home in the evening. Decided a quaint stone cottage would be more pleasant than a motel. Very clean and comfortable, centrally located walking distance to town, undercover carport at the front ! Host kindly left chocolates and icy poles in the fridge ( huge hit with husband ) there were other basic condiments too Many thanks ! Will return.

Wonderful host

Karen was very helpful when our plans were disrupted by Cyclone Alfred. We appreciated the attention to detail that made this 'home away from home' for us, such as herbal teabags and cereals. Very conveniently located, walking distance to shops.

Amazing

This Cottage is so beautifully presented and feels like a home away from home. Plenty of space even though its open plan it feels very private. The decor is stunning and amenties are amazing. The fully fenced yard was perfect for pur 2 dogs. The hosts were nothing short of exceptional. They catered to all our needs and more.

Awesome cottage and stay!

We loved our stay with Karen and Trevor! They had left so many special touches in the room (pet treats; ice creams; cereal; fruit) and really cared about our stay being great! Communication was amazing and so responsive. It’s open plan and a little trickier for a group but it worked well! We’d love to go back as just a couple sometime. Overall was a great experience and definitely a place we’d stay again!
