"Wow! The grandchildren loved looking after the two sets of twin baby goats born across the road and also the surprise of the beautiful king parrots landing on our hands.... BBQ brunch on the deck looking out across the ocean was just terrific. We'll be back"
"...we had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It's a truly beautiful spot - it's lovely being close to, but out of town and having the magnificent views from the lounge. We do hope to visit again one day"
"We had a great week at Old Tuxion Cottage - it is a wonderful location, great gardens and the sort of house you know you are on holidays just being there. Hopefully this was the first of many stays"
"Great view! The soccer & air hockey was heaps of fun ...."
"... I wanted to tell you directly how fantastic we all thought the cottage was. It was such a perfect combination of old and quirky (we loved the doors from the 'Casino' shipwreck) and clean and new ....We thoroughly enjoyed making friends with the cows and went for a walk to find the friendly goats. The view over the hills to the ocean was truly relaxing, the perfect way of unwinding just before I (and others) return to work.
"We all had a fantastic stay! Very relaxing. Fell asleep many times in the lounge chairs. Great views! Decking was great for BBQs, breaky and parrot feeding. Lovely cottage with great garden".
"We had a very lovely stay at your place- it was just perfect...for our family it couldn't have been more perfect!!!"
"We loved the ambiance of your cottage...loved the old and the new aspects. And it was so much larger than the term 'cottage' suggests....Loved the kitchen (it was so well set up!) The deck is to adore and admire....Lounge area with the most comfy suite and chairs, not to mention all the windows for the sun to stream in!!!! So many people have asked about our weekend away and I rave about the scenery and the absolute peace there".
"We had a fantastic time at Old Tuxion Cottage. The house is extremely well equipped for families and the kids had a ball running around the garden....All in all a wonderful relaxing stay for all of us - perfect weather, wonderful view and lots of fun at the beach. None of us want to go home but we leave certain that we will be back before too long".
"This place is beautiful....The goats are very friendly and entertained our 2 YO for hours".
"...it is bigger inside than it seems from outside. Loved the huge family room and kitchen, and the deck was a joy. The nearly-full moon coming up over the sea with the silver "river" stretching out to it across the bay was a treat".
"Another lovely stay, this time cosy with rain and a warming fire"
"We felt so at home here - such a comfortable, welcoming place with excellent facilities, especially the great armchairs and beds. The kids had a ball, we spent many hours reading and playing games in front of the fire, as well as watching the sea and the weather. A most relaxing stay, we would love to come back. Thank you for a winter highlight!".
"Such a magical place to unwind & relax....The kids & I loved every bit of it, especially the games room....Everything is catered for and the cottage has a wonderful, welcoming fell to it. The best bit of all though was the view from virtually every window. Watching the water from 180 degrees is truly breathtaking...."

"This is a great place to stay. We had a great time here. The view is...Wow! The cottage is great and everyone loved seeing the goats and cows in the paddock. Everyone loved the games room...where the kids spent most of their time. Thankyou!
