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.

Kathleen was extremely welcoming and kind the entire process. The cottage was even better than the photos lead me to believe. Every little detail was perfect and Kathleen really went the extra mile. You can tell she really cares for this place. 10/10 would love to come again definitely adding this to my winter musts!

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.

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.

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.

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.
