Perfect cosy weekend getaway!
We adored this cottage — perfect location (close to town and pub but in a very private, scenic bush area), loved the fireplace (and fire built waiting for us on arrival), well set up kitchen, super comfy couches and bed, luxe linen, friendly thoughtful host Nigel, it really had everything we could want. There is a beautiful cliff top talk that is perfect on your arrival afternoon and we had the best time playing chess by the fire and watching the sun set through the wattle trees. Was lovely for us as a couple’s getaway but could comfortably come with a family or a few friends. Would absolutely return, thanks Nigel for a wonderful stay!

Hidden gem
We really enjoyed the cozy and rustic atmosphere provided by this well designed, constructed and appointed eco cabin. Nothing quite like kicking back by the fireplace with the peace of the blue mountains surrounds. Our host Nigel was friendly and responsive plus checking in and out was a breeze. Thank you for a great stay!

A quiet delightful place surrounded by the bush
We enjoyed our stay in this cottage and sitting by the fireplace reading a book before bed. The owner was really friendly and helpful and looked to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The entrance directions to the property provided were a little confusing but easy to find by typing 113 Shipley Rd into Google maps instead of 111. Whilst we didn't get a chance to explore any of the trails around the property in full we did encounter a snake, so be alert if you choose to go exploring.
