Cosy time away with my partner and our two dogs

We had the best time in the cosy miners cottage. It was very cold in howqua but managed to stay super warm inside. Super nice fire place, big bed, big bath and suitable kitchen for the space with all needed amenties. These are all the perks for the humans. Our dogs had THE BEST time. Plenty of running space and the river for them to dip in. Would love to return when the weather is nicer to soak up the outdoors more. Great selection of dvds for the cool/rainy nights.

Long Weekend by the Howqua River

We loved the Miner's Cottage and would stay again, the only thing is there is no internet access if you do need it. Also you need to bring your own shampoo as this isn't provided.. It may be a good idea to take some bottled water as you have to boil the water before you can drink it. Other than that we loved it, Andy was very friendly, the Cottage was lovely the bed was really comfortable, lovely walks along the river, we didn't want to leave.. Thanks for a lovely stay and for the fresh egg's Andy and Penny..

Just love this place

Our second stay here - An Absolute break away from the big smoke of Sydney- so easy to just unwind here with the flowing Howqua river and night time cosy fireplace and spa. We just love staying here. The host Andy and his dog Ruffy are just amazing. Thank you- we will be back.

Long Weekend

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the cottage. It was tranquil, restful and had all the creature comforts of home. We took along our 2 dogs who had a ball swimming in the river and also walks in the nearby state park. Thanks to Andrew who was very pleasant and accommodating and we would have no hesitation returning or recommending the cottage to anyone.

Country living

Tranquil and peaceful. The cottage was cosy and clean with everything you need. Theres a running river that you can hear while in the cottage, green paddocks and cows. There is everything you need to keep a warm fire going but heaters are available as well. To top it off is a friendly dog that welcomes you like an old friend.
