Buxton oceanfront rentals

We needed somewhere to stay for our son's wedding in the Southern Highlands and Lavinia's little cottage was perfect.

Had a lovely time with our dogs. Well appointed cottage. Loved watching the wildlife around the lake. Excellent communication from Vicki. Hope to visit again soon.

Has everything you need for an enjoyable weekend away with friends

So close to Sydney yet a million miles from civilisation. Just sublime. The place was beautiful. The property was perfect for the kids to hike and explore. And the Shetland ponies and alpacas only sweetened the deal. We hate to leave but know that Little Forest will never leave us.

We had an amazing time spent at this property. We booked it as a family to celebrate mine and my partner’s wedding. Glad was spectacular and offered my nieces to help feed the animals with her everyday. They loved it and we all loved our time here. Very special memories made and plenty of space for a bridal party to get ready. Lots of amenities and kitchen supplies so you dont need to bring a thing.

We knew this place was going to be great from the photos and the website but when you arrive it does not do it justice. I celebrated my 50th with family and friends and we had non stop fun for four days and Mandy is the best host and super helpful.

Lovely cute cottage with everything you need in the kitchen and awesome selection of movies to watch cosied to the fireplace (that was all setup ready to just light when we arrived). Plenty of wood for a few days. Nice little drive to Bowral and Mittagong with their great food and thousands of antique shops! The biggest challenge was with no wifi we were stuck relying on 2 bars of intermittent 3G reception from Telstra. Made it really hard to get the small amount of work I needed todo whilst away. If your looking for a digital detox, then this is the place for you.

After seven years of annual family getaways, Kalinya Gardens is right up there at the top of the list. One of the things we look for is for all of us to be accommodated under one roof rather than needing to spread out across multiple cottages. The Homestead which holds a maximum of 18 was perfect for our group. The property caters for people of all ages. The Homestead is beautifully appointed: decor and furnishings are elegant and tasteful; the beds are super comfortable, and so are the pillows. There are several lovely bathrooms, and some comfy sitting areas, and more TV's than I could count. I don't actually think we turned one on until late on the final evening. We were too busy enjoying each other's company. Mandy, the owner has thought of everything. The grounds, the facilities, gardens, decks, outdoor tables and entertaining areas were just perfect. This year, my husband was celebrating his 80th Birthday. Mandy put us in touch with caterers and providores - all of whom were exceptional. On the day of the celebration, Mandy was there help us with extra tables and chairs so we could set up in the winter sun on the sheltered verandah which runs all the way around the house. What more can I say - "just gorgeous, in every possible way."
