I loved the peaceful rural setting of the cottage along with the modern, spacious and comfortable facilities, soon realising that one night was not enough to truly appreciate the ambience here and so I look forward to returning for 3-4 nights next time.

A cosy getaway!

We visited for the weekend and really enjoyed the quiet and cosy cabin. Lots of little touches and a lovely fire and bbq, perfect for an afternoon in. Easy to get to and Kathleen was a great host, accomodating us arriving quite late in the evening.

Lovely cottage in the bush

We loved our stay. Kathleen was very helpful. The cottage is equipped with everything you need and a great size for 2 people. We loved the fire and the BBQ. Highly recommend if you want a little place in the bush yet so close to Bungendore and Canberra.

A beautiful home for a peaceful weekend away. The cottage has obviously been created with love and care, and Kathleen is a wonderful host who even provided us with a freshly baked loaf of bread! We're already looking forward to a return trip. And the woodcraft gallery in nearby Bungendore is absolutely worth seeing.

Perfect cottage

We loved the cottage, such a clever design with so many artistic touches by Kathleen. And we really appreciated all the thoughtful extras provided. The fire and underfloor heating in the bathroom was a bonus as we unfortunately chose a very wet and cold weekend which did impact our stay.

Relaxing Hide Away

What a little gem. From the moment we booked our stay Kathleen was a suberb host with nothing was to much trouble including organising a bottle of champagne for our arrival given it was our anniversary get away. The cottage was just perfect with all the little touches including a freshly made loaf of bread making our stay just perfect. The fireplace was cozy, and overall just so relaxing and comfortable. Thanks for making our stay just perfect. We'll definitely be back
