A nice quiet rural property. Beautiful view from the veranda. Plenty of wildlife to see, kangaroos, brush tail wallabies, echidnas and birds. Enjoyed our stay.

Nice nature environment. The property has been refurbished and nicer colour scheme than photos show! Some disappointing things though such as no fire pit (would have been lovely surroundings to have a fire in), holes in outside wall of cabin that hadn’t been fixed in a long time. No details book advising of things, just stumbled across the fact they had Netflix and wifi. Was still a cute stay though.

Beautiful area to unwind, clean and cosy. Had everything we needed. The only thing that I would suggest is that there could be an outside bath. Also maybe update other sites with the amenities as they were general for all accommodation. No pool where we were. Also photos a little deceiving, we thought that the river was close but it was quiet a hike and not that easy accessible. We had a great time. Would recommend

Beautiful surroundings placed on the hill.

A clean, well kept cottage with a modern bathroom and lots of Kangaroos hopping around. An ideal place to stay to get away from everything.

Beautiful setting for a weekend away

This property was very comforatble for a couple having a simple relaxing weekend. Clean and well appointed in a great secluded location. Our only problem was that someone took our key on the evening before we arrived - not the fault of the team in Kangaroo Valley, and they jumped in and sorted it all out at 11:30pm at night. Great service.

Nice for a short stay

A very cosy cottage - my partner and I had a nice stay here. But it was a bit over-priced for what it was, given the location (slightly out of town).

Great escape

We liked the cottage. Just the right size for a couple, very well equipped, clean and functional. It's located on a ridge about 15 minutes from town and offers privacy and peace & quiet. There were a couple of drawbacks for us. One was that being on the side of a steep hill, there a descent/climb involved in any walk. Secondly, while there are some nice faraway views, the bush surrounds are full of weeds and lantana which, as gardeners, we found off putting.
