Thoughtful owner with every conceivable amenity. Even the fridge was full of goodies. The back enclosed verandah was wonderful for our pets.The bush at the rear was perfect for a dog walk. Very safe and secure overall. The view towards the mountains from the elevated street was beautiful. The closeness of shops and eateries was great.Did we say we’d be back? You bet.

Lovely little getaway

The cottage was beautiful and clean and had literally everything we could have imagined. Deb even left bread, milk, jam and chocolates for us on arrival. We stayed for three nights and thought it was just a gorgeous little getaway from the city. Communication with Deb was top notch and she even mailed back a couple of little baby onesies we accidentally left behind. Amazing stay and service, thank you so much!

Fabulous country cottage

We spent four nights here in freezing weather but the house was so warm and cosy. It was very comfortable and had absolutely everything you need for a great stay. As well as the central heating it was wonderful to enjoy the wood burner at night. We had our little Cavoodle with us and she felt completely at home. Each day we went out and about the local area and this house was an excellent base to visit wineries and to follow up some family history. We would definitely love to stay there again.

Sweet little home

Sweet little home. Lovely screened in (flyscreen) deck at the back so you can enjoy view/weather without flies and mosquitos. Good sized and well equipped kitchen. Comfy furniture! The view from the front of the house is a bit to be desired but the backyard, deck and the rest of the home make up for it. Deb was very lovely and accommodating. I would stay here again.

Avoca lovely little town with top bakery and Avoca Hotel to name only 2 definitely worth visiting. The house is brilliant with everything you could possibly think of needing...and more. Quiet location, bushland to the back and beautiful Pyrenees mountains to gaze at all day to the front. So glad to find dog friendly too so we could enjoy weekend with our fur baby. Great time and would definitely love to return again, thank you.
