"I was after an overnighter in that general area and the Aussie was a fraction of the price of anything within cooee. It is an old structure but well maintained along with toaster and tea/coffee/chocolate making facilities in my room. Comfy bed, easy chair, table, TV etc.
Only thing less than perfect was that the shower fitting couldn't be adjusted properly because one of the wingnuts wouldn't tighten properly. For all that it was still adjustable enough to have a good shower.
More than happy. Thoroughly recommend the Aussie."
Luxury 100yr old workers cottage close to wineries & wedding venues
10/10 Excellent
"Luxe property that is perfect for a peaceful getaway. We loved the beautifully renovated old Queenslander, the outdoor bath and the lovely quiet surroundings. Just what we needed to decompress.The host, Bronwyn, provided excellent check-in instructions along with suggestions for places to eat and was very responsive to messages. Note that there is no wifi or TV here but we found we had decent mobile reception (even with Vodafone) which meant we didn't feel completely disconnected.We hope to be back again!"
"What a lovely stay for a Mum’s weekend away. From entering the property with relaxing music, lovely smells and a stunning view our weekend had a lovely start. The studio is brand spanking new and has all you need with lots of space. Comfy beds, beautiful linen, thoughtful extras in the kitchen including a coffee machine. We spent our evenings relaxing on the deck with the gas fire crackling and our days out exploring the area - but honestly we would have been happy to just stay in and enjoy the lovely home . Communication with Darren was spot on and he was so helpful when we found the local electric car charger broken and he came to the rescue and let us use his. Absolutely loved our weekend away."
"The house was very clean and well maintained, with well equipped, spacious kitchen, and new bathroom. The house was roomy and comfortable, and there were good outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. The property is a relaxing drive and offered a relaxing, comfortable stay after a day soaking up the sunflower festival at Kalbar."
"We had a great stay. Secluded location but still well positioned to access the many hikes in this region. Cottage was well equipped by cooking. We will stay here again."
