An absolute gem of a place in a beautiful location
Java Villa is simply gorgeous, it’s a beautiful old building with high ceilings & is a very comfortable place to stay. The bed was really comfortable, the kitchen had everything including a fabulous coffee machine which was all ready to go filled with coffee beans. The owner left us sour dough bread, butter, jam & milk which we were very grateful for. The location is great, it’s a lovely walk into the pretty little town of Strathalbyn. Good communication with the owner who too. ,We will definitely stay again.

Relaxing Stay
I had a wonderful time. The hosts were warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room was cozy and peaceful, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I loved relaxing in the beautiful hot tub. The location was perfect—quiet but still close to everything I wanted to see. It was the perfect spot to unwind, and I’m already looking forward to returning!

Highly Recommend Villa Java
What a wonderful place! We have enjoyed every minute of our stay at Villa Java. The set out is spacious and had everything we needed. Becky was always quick to reply. The spa bath made it an extra special experience. We will definitely be back!

Great place in Strath for a couple's getaway
Lovely place, exactly as described in the listing, great attention to detail and well managed.We stayed in summer when it was hot so we didn't get to try the woodfire, but there is a/c which works well. We had a great experience and can highly recommend.

Villa in Strath
The location was excellent however the spa bath only has cold water. Very disappointed that it’s advertised as a selling point but you can’t use it. Check in and communication was good. Secure courtyard/garden for my dog.

Strathalbyn
A spacious apartment with a lovely deck at the back and a large out door area for us to store our bikes. Great coffee machine for coffee lovers but perhaps some more crockery and cutlery would be beneficial. The location was ideal for bike riding and the town was easily accessed by walking.

Great place for a weekend away
Clean well equipped and comfortable accommodation located centrally and close to lovely walking trails along the river. Check in information and address was provided on day of check-in, which seems a little late. Owner was very responsive.
Would recommend.
