Was the perfect accommodation for a large group. The house is beautifully done and the heating is perfect. It’s a short walk to town to enjoy Annie Smithers restaurant and multiple other eateries, accompanied by stunning walks close by to walk off the calories!
We had a fantastic stay at Peppermint Blue house. It was a great location only a short walk from the Main Street. The easy process of checking in and out was great and Patrick was a fantastic host who provided all necessary information before arrival.
The property was in fantastic condition and was able to accomodate our group.

Our senior partners from our law firm stayed at the residence and found it to be warm, cosy and well appointed.
We'll definitely book again for future partner retreats.

Charming property, well located with easy walk to town. Few options to eat out mid-week meant we had to use the very small kitchen. Enjoyed the cosy fire with wood provided.
