A charming cottage! The host had lots of little welcoming items, such as beverages and treats and thoughtful touches around the cabin. It was a lovely stopover - clearly much thought went into the details.
Very accommodating host, good communication, friendly and knowledgably about area. Amazing historical building. A stay of the different type. Loved it in Childers. Thank you, we will be back!Sandra and Dean
Excellent location. Absolutely adorable cottage, it was the cutest, most unique place I've stayed. We loved it. The host came and said a hello when we arrived and was lovely.
What a lovely little cottage. All the well thought out extras such as dog and people treats and fresh coffee were a hit. We would definitely stay again.
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!
We enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was comfortable and contained everything (& more) that we needed for our time there. It's location allows for an easy walk to town. The cottage is extremely clean and has lots of lovely little extras to discover.
Thank you for such a beautiful stay. Wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts, and lots of lovely little touches within the cottage to help us feel at home. Also a nice little seperated yard for my dogs to be play in a secure space. Would recommend and will stay again!

A beautifully appointed home with everything catered for. A real surprise to walk into!
The hosts were very warm friendly and helpful. Being pet friendly was a huge bonus.
The cottage was surprisingly spacious and private. The host considers the needs of guests, with lots of little luxury touches. Well equipped with everything you need.
Our stay was lovely. Very different and historical place. The home was lovely super clean and everything you need is there. The owners Karen and Trevor just lovely. So convenient just on the main road. Lots of room.
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.

GREAT SPOT RIGHT IN CHILDERS. WALKING DISTANCE TO HOTELS, IGA ETC - UNDERCOVER PARKING AREA ON SITE - EASY ACCESS - PLENTY OF SPACE - WILL BE BACK AGAIN
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.
Welcomed by host & felt 'at home' immediately. Very well appointed property, everything you needed was on site. Could contact host if any issues or questions. Just loved the cottage aspect. Gold star 🌟
Karen was so friendly, all and more was available to us. We just couldn’t believe the extras that were provided. I have stayed in other places and now I have used Staz if this is an example all should follow Karen’s lead
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!
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.
We arrived late afternoon and were shown around the cottage. Our dogs immediately explored all the wonderful smells in the garden which was fully fenced and safe for them. Everything in the cottage was perfect! The bed was comfortable, lovely hot shower, comfortable lounge and sparkling clean. Our breakfast was fully catered with cereal and bread, milk, yogurt etc. We were very impressed. The owners were available next door if we needed to call on them for anything. Highly recommend.
