Jo
Lovely cottage in peaceful setting. Have stayed many times over the years and will continue to do so. Great communication from owner.
Wayne Thorne
Very comfortable cottage set right in the bush. Well set up with every thing we needed for a 3 night stay. The birdsong from the bush behind the cottage was amazing. Only downside was the lack of laundry facilities but there is a laundry in the camping ground about 2km away.
Kelvin Ashby
A very relaxing place to stay. The fire was fabulous and lots of interesting books to read. The only annoying issue is that a neighbour in the area has roosters and they make a bit of a din all day. Peel Forest is a beautiful area and has a good selection of walks for all capabilities.
