Sublime and very quite location. Very cute cottage. Very clean. Could do with a bit of minor maintenance eg door to LHS bedroom sticks so opens very loudly, and shrubbery could be trimmed to open up the view from the deck. Also a platter wouldn’t go astray. That being said, we really enjoyed our stay.

The Heavens was a lovely experience for us and our 5 yo Irish setter. The rain kept us inside the cottage, but we tried out brunch down at the village the morning we left to go home. Despite the rain and mist, the cottage delivered breathtaking views and serenity. The facilities indoors were great. Loved it all.

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.

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.
