    The cottage was very cosy with the most amazing bathroom which looks out onto the beautiful garden. At night it was so quiet and tranquil. We loved sitting outside watching the kookaburras and kangaroos.

    The only thing is there was no washing machine or dryer.

    Peaceful haven with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The deck looks out to a private vista, and the outdoor spa is a luxurious addition. Agnes, our host, was very hospitable. Would definitely return.

    We can't think of anything - had a wonderful stay

    Beautiful location and facilities, quietness and feeling of solitude, the wildlife visible from our deck, and also the arrival champagne and nibbles was a nice touch. Agnes our host was very friendly and welcoming.

    Nothing. It was fabulous.

    Great little cottage in a fantastic location, loved watching the wallabies and numerous birds in the garden. Agnes was very attentive and we loved the wine, snacks and breakfast food she left. The beautiful Dorrigo Park was a short drive away. Would definitely recommend.

    As I am elderly I was a little nervous in the bathroom as there was no handle or bar to hold on to in the shower. But this was only because of my age. Anyone else would not have had a problem.

    Breakfast and welcome drink and snacks. The layout was very elegant. The scenery and wildlife were a huge bonus.

    Be aware that cell phone coverage is a challenge. I could order out pizza by standing in the driveway. Internet was fine. For those of us with multiple electronic devices, it would be nice to have a power strip, given the limited number of direct outlets.

    Beautiful cabin - remote enough to rejuvenate, but close enough to get quality pizza delivered to our door! Woke up to wallabies boxing in the yard and a red parrot watching us eat breakfast. Nicely sized rooms with good air conditioning. The breakfast hamper of eggs, bacon, juice, bread for toast allowed me to make hot, fresh breakfast each morning of our stay. On site DVDs were fun, and Netflix satisfied the need to 'veg out' after a long day. The night sky is amazing.

    It was easy to love everything about the property! It is in a beautiful position, it is quiet and private and peaceful, it is stylish and comfortable. It has points of difference- like the outside spa bath and the full length window in the bathroom. It is a quirky, interesting and unique place to stay. The breakfast and provisions provided were very thoughtful and most welcome. Agnes was the best host I think we have come across in our travels! Afterglow Cottages is highly recommended!

    There was no bench for you to put your toiletries/makeup in the bathroom. I had to put my things on the floor. The shower water came right across the bathroom floor. Little bit annoying Breakfast was included but not topped up for us. Limited kitchen supplies No information in regards to getting on the Wi-Fi

    Location was great. Secluded. Lovely deck with a bath sunk into it. The shower was amazing with full length glass to look at the bush land
