What a lovely cottage, it had everything we needed to make our stay truly enjoyable. We loved the peace and quiet away from the busyness, and especially enjoyed seeing the local wildlife. Being able to bring our dog made it extra special, and she absolutely loved the walks around the farm. Thank you, Chris, for being such a wonderful host.

Chris was such a welcoming host, the cottage was lovely and had super resources (my test: can you make a pavlova without being your own equipment? Passed in full here!), and the most beautiful garden, land and TENNIS COURT!!! Our family had the most wonderful stay.

Thanks Emily. Good to know we passed the pavlova test! When we set up the house I like to think of it as a place we would like to stay ourselves. We are always open to suggestions though. Emily and her family were great guests , friendly and respectful and they left the house very tidy. We would be happy to host them again

Kangarutha Cottage is a lovely 70s style cottage with great amenities set in a beautiful garden on a gorgeous rural/ bush property. Super peaceful. Loved staying here with my two dogs, will definitely come again. (Note that the fences on the property are quite low so if you have a larger agile dog that is motivated to explore they could easily make a bid for freedom ;) ). Keen to try out the camp sites on the property too, they look fantastic. Thanks!

Cosy and Quiet

We stayed a week and glad we did. The cottage is in a great location with surrounding bush and farm land. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had everything that we needed. The slow combustion fire kept us warm at night and the bedding is comfortable, The location is quiet and peaceful, and communication with the hosts was excellent. Thank you for having us stay, and we will definitely be back.

Our family of 2 adults 2 kids and dog loved our stay at Kangarutha cottage in Kalaru. The cottage is well maintained and fully equipped with everything you will need. Kids loved riding their bikes and playing tennis on the tennis court. The beds were comfy and the location is peaceful and quiet. Gorgeous gardens and lots of wildlife. Great location 5 mins drive to Tathra, 15 mins to Bega. We look forward to staying again.
