Thank you for your review Sophian and also for leaving the cottage so lovely and tidy. It sure makes my job easier.! I think the ice blocks in the freezer must belong to you.? If you are passing on the Highway some time, I can leave them at the PO for you to pick up. Cheers Gina

Beautiful location, charming cottage

The cottage had beautiful views of the mountains around it and was at the foot of one that we walked up. The cottage itself was small but extremely charming and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this for families.

An idyllic country escape, yet close to Tamworth, Armidale and Uralla. And a generous host who went out of her way to make us comfortable. Mountain and river walks, breathtaking scenery and a cosy cottage with everything we needed. The family and I loved it even more the second time!

Ginas cottage was like going to nanas house that loves you the most! The cottage was immaculate- bedsheets fresh and beds lovingly, properly made. Gina brought out a portacot for us and popped the lights on for us as we arrived late. The cottage is very well located to go to the bendemeer pub- which was bustling and very good. Gina was communicative and quick to reply. We will stay again!!
