Fantastic location, super easy to communicate with, great little house with everything you need. A sunset picnic at the top of the mountain is a must if you stay here.

Absolutely incredible. Just idyllic. We will absolutely be back. Thank you so much for having us! The most beautiful stay.
This cottage was absolutely amazing, was everything we were looking for, for a quiet few days away from "life" would highly recommend to anyone. The photos don't give it justice.
Thankyou Eloise and Troy.

Thank you Sophia for the lovely review. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.
If you’re looking for a proper get away, no traffic noise, no people right next door you have to listen to and look at through the window Rosebrook is perfect. Scenery is amazing, cottage was better than it looked on the site. Spa was awesome, needed more firewood cause we went through it all and the horse came right up to our door on the last day to greet us which we were stoked about. Needed more apples though, the boy can eat!! Would recommend to anyone and already have. Thanks again,
Corey and Yvette

Hi Corey & Yvette, we are so glad you enjoyed your weekend in our little piece of paradise. We hope to welcome you back again one day. Eloise & Troy xox
Small self contained cottage with a great indoor fireplace. Cosy and warm. Peaceful and quiet. Perfect for professionals that want to reconnect with nature or simply eliminate the sounds of the city for a while. My wife and I stayed a week and found it perfect to unwind and recharge. Thanks again to our gracious hosts and the clever white horse....
