Fabulous service and a very cute little cottage

Poppy was so completely gorgeous and very attentive to make sure that we were comfortable. The cottage is small but she has managed to pack a lot into a tiny space. The breakfast was fabulous with freshly baked bread, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and a choice of cereals. A very pleasant stay.

A relaxing experience with delightful people in unique surroundings!

This is my second stay with Poppy and Jake. I can’t endorse it enough. This is a truely relaxing experience with some delightful people in unique surroundings. Breakfast is scrumdiddlyumptious! Served in uniquely Australian surroundings. The cottage is well stocked with tea, coffee and treats. There were plenty of books for reading and relaxing. We stayed for three nights on this occassion and left feeling completely relaxed and grounded. Thanks for a marvellous stay. We will be back again!

NOT AT ALL PET FRIENDLY.

A very disappointing, stressful and expensive experience for us. It was not at all pet friendly. Despite me sending an extra message the day before, with a photo of our two mini fox-terrier dogs to double check and getting confirmation that they were welcome. After we were led into the cottage, we were prevented by the host, who seemed very anxious, from showing our two small dogs around and having a chance to settling them in this new environment. Shortly after, we were told by the host 'this will not work'. We had not yet even had a chance to get our dogs beds and other things out of the car. Or even have a moment to freshen up (it was 4pm and we had been driving since 7.30am). So we asked for a refund and left. We were still charged a night and a 50 cleaning fee and lost 2 days of our holiday. Additionally, we ended up having to drive a total of 14 hours that day. We cannot give a valid score for cleanliness, as we were prevented from having the opportunity to stay more than 15 minutes and prevented from moving around the cottage at all. We thought afterwards, perhaps they had double booked or had family coming. We were completely confounded with respect to how we were treated by the host and why they chose to charge us a night's accommodation and a cleaning fee, for the 10 minutes we were in there.

We had a lovely short stay at the cottage and Poppy made our 1 year old very welcome - as did Sassy the border collie. Breakfast was a delight. We found the peace and quiet wonderful and the sunrise view from the cottage was spectacular.

Poppy and Jake are very kind, and they make a wonderful breakfast.

The sky was littered with stars, the garden filled with flowers...and roses with such intense fragrance! What a treat to have Poppy’s Cottage available to us...a better way to stay and a very comfortable, memorable experience. Ooooh....and the breakfast made by Poppy and Jake was absolutely delicious- we felt very welcome and nurtured. What a treat. Thank you.

Small but warm, friendly and accommodating

We enjoyed our stay here but with two small children we found the cottage a bit on the small side. There is no separate living area only two bedrooms and the couch, fridge and microwave are in the kids room so can be tricky for parents to relax after they go to bed. Hosts were very friendly and happily assisted with dietary requirements. Breakfasts were lovely but hosts couldn't serve them early due to prep time. Hamper available though. Dinner also nice but reasonably expensive for what you got. Our toddler loved the farm animals.

What a lovely place!

We brought our 2 children and dog to with Poppy and Jake and had such a lovely time. Ww loved the rustic feel of the cottage, with all the nostalgia for the adults, and books and toys for the kids, we were right at home. The cottage was clean and tidy, a little cluttered once our bags were inside (but you expect that as 'cottage' implies a small space). Beautiful countryside, immaculate attention to details like the hazelnut coffee and anzac biscuits provided in the picnic box, and the wonderful cooked breakfast and fresh fruit salad all made it a real hit. Our older child loves animals, so the geese, chickens, dogs and pony were her favourite thing. And our little boy and dog loved the fresh mown grass to run around a stretch their legs (driving Sydney to north of Brisbane). It was a shame ours was only an overnight stay, an extra night or two would have been enjoyable to explore the surrounding area. Thankyou Poppy and Jake, we all felt thoroughly welcomed!

Tranquil & relaxing!

We arrived at Poppy's having driven from Sydney that morning. What a wonderful start to our 2 week holiday of travelling to central Qld. My son Adam was smitten as soon as he stepped from the car & was greeted by the beautiful & stately Emma (Poppy & Jack's 15 year old golden retriever). My daughter Kate was instantly taken with Cokey (Jack's miniature horse), Miffy and the ducks. We climbed the old volcano core in the afternoon and took in the views of the surrounding country side; well worth it. We brought dinner with us and had a lovely dinner sitting in Poppy's country garden. I'd recommend this, or arranging dinner with Poppy, as it is so lovely to walk, or just sit, and take in the changing light at sunset. After waking to magpie song in the trees outside our window, breakfast was just divine. What a great start to the day. Jack & Poppy; thank you for being such kind & accommodating hosts. We highly recommend staying at Poppy's even if just for a night; but make sure you arrive early enough to really enjoy all that it has to offer.
