Family get away in nature

We loved the gorgeous mud brick cottage Tallarook. It was set in beautiful natural surrounds, amidst much native wildlife and away from more touristy areas, so provided a peaceful get away for our family. We enjoyed some gorgeous hikes in the area and then coming back to the cottage to cook a meal and play some games. An outdoor pit toilet was an adventure that added to the experience. The hosts were fantastic with their communication and the thoughtful touches they left in the cottage. A great get away.

About the host

Hosted by Pauline

Host profile image
I was born in India, lived in Melbourne and eventually moved to Tanja with my partner Neil, in 1987. We wanted to bring up our two sons in the bush to provide them with the opportunity to experience a rural lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

I love the beauty of the Bega Valley, the friendly local community, rural lifestyle and the challenges of living in the bush.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is built from local, natural materials and set in a forest. We strive to have a low environmental impact.
