Pleasant cottage in a lovely area

Neat little cottage in a lovely part of the world. Everything was clean and presentable, and everything we needed was provided. Sadly the view isn't quite what the cottages higher up the hill would get, especially as the cottage is sited so that it's sideways on to the view and there is no comfortable outside seating. The views are much better from the little garden, so bring your own folding chairs and it will be great.

The location was very isolated and private revealing gorgeous views. The accomodation was abit dated with cobwebs around. But overall it suited us for a stop over for 2 nights in the area.

Heavenly weekend

The Elysium cottage at the Heavens was a beautiful piece of paradise set in amongst the mountains down near Kangaroo Valley. The property was quiet and peaceful, surrounded by wildlife, mountains and Mother Nature at her finest. The cottage was a quaint and clean space that had everything you needed (could’ve done without the little field mouse who decides to join us but can’t have everything) with beautiful views.

3 summer nights in Heaven

Stayed in Elysium cottagge with my family of four and our furbaby Lulu and it was indeed a nice experience. The tranquility of the surroundings was a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. And we were indeed greeted by the Alpaca trio and the goats who stays right beside the house. Also Jan had been very helpful from booking till checkout on everything. Will definitely visit again! 😊 NB: Please ensure you are getting all the required grosseries before going there as there are no many shops around the valley and the nearest biggie Supermarket is a bit far.

Amazing stay

My partner and I stayed at Elysium cottage for 7 days during Christmas. What a lovely place it is! Very cozy cottage with beautiful views and fenced garden for our pup. Right beside alpaca & goat paddock, away from all the noise and traffic. Modern interior with fully equipped kitchen and perfectly working WiFi ( we watched movies on Netflix without any issues). Short drive to the town where you can find coffee shops, service station, grocery store etc. Communication with Jan & Rob was 10/10 ! Also, Elysium is pet friendly - our pup absolutely adored the place and animals. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to take a break from busy city life.
