My husband and I booked the Back 'O' Burke as a weekend getaway and loved every minute! The cabin was cute as a button! It was so close to everything we barely had to use our car. We will definately be back!
Back ‘O’ Burke is a pleasantly small and relaxing cabin, perfect for weekend getaways! Julie and Trish take lots of care to ensure that guests have everything they could ever need! We look forward to staying there again in the future!
The cutest stay! We loved the special touches, the choccies, the wine and even a birthday card! Super grateful to have stayed in such a cosy place so close to everything.
Everything was a delight. (Having said that, we had to clean the wine glasses). It was thoughtfully put together and was perfectly placed in Victor.

Thank you so much for the feedback - we are glad you enjoyed your stay!
Was told I could stay there with my dog then next day kicked out for having the dog with me despite I'm writing saying pet friendly with enclosed yard and I could have my dog with me as she was only tiny that be fine. I would not recommend this place.

Perfect location
This cottage was beautiful to stay in. Very clean, loved the welcome gifts, beautiful decor and everything seemed new, shiny and well taken care of.Downside was the communication with the property manager and finding the place! I asked a few questions through the chat before and during our trip and unfortunately they went unanswered.Also the directions we were given on how to pick up the keys and find the location were very difficult to understand and interpret.Aside from these things we did have a beautiful stay and the location is in walking distance of the town centre, tourist cafes and restaurants and the local shopping centre.

Cabin was lovely! location was great. We only had an issue not receiving correspondence regarding check in. I think it was confusing because the booking was made through Stayz and the emails came through from the real estate.
The information emails from the real estate were quite confusing with key info scattered throughout. Id much prefer are few key points at the top of the email then other info below. Just a recommendation :)
Other than that it was great!

We loved the location of this cosy cabin, beautifully equipped with all you need. The welcoming complementary bubbly, fruit, chocolates,milk and Jurlique products were highly appreciated. The only thing missing was the BBQ, that we would have had to pay 100 for if left behind dirty as well as a dishwasher.. seemed a mistake in advertising.. we will be back :)
