We enjoyed our stay at Maeburn Cottage, all the basics were there it was clean and comfortable, and had a lovely garden with trees and birdlife, easy for our pets to enjoy as well.
We stopped here for one night and it was just what we needed. The cottage is modest but very cosy and spotlessly clean. It also has a good deck area for oudoor dining. Thank you Dorothy for a lovely stay.
Dorothy was lovely, great communication and very welcoming. Pet friendly which was great, shared yard but was able to take turns in letting our dog explore off lead. Cabin & furniture is old but it was clean and bed was comfy, we had beautiful parrots feeding from the bird feeder a property was nice and quiet. The only downside was we booked a lake view cabin and couldn’t see anything but trees.
Cottage was lovely and clean, bed comfortable, lounge also comfortable. If you want somewhere to stay with your dog highly recommend this place. Lots of room for the dog to run and explore. Lots of beautiful wild birds, nice and peaceful.Dorothy was very friendly and helpful.
The town was in easy reach and the walks were wonderful along the lake.The pub food was excellent, and the cabin beds were very comfortable.As my friends were footy fans they were a bit disappointed by the TV reception in Metung!
