We struggled with the hardness of the mattresses in both bedrooms and opening the back door to the sunny alcove (finally pushed very hard and opened it). I wouldn't plan to cook up a feast as there was a distinct lack of cooking utensils and cutlery. Our cabin did have a proper sink, a bath and a shower - but we couldn't get the electric radiator in the main bedroom to work at all.

Wonderful hilltop location nestled in the autumnal trees overlooking the rolling hills and pastures of the Southern Highlands. The sense of history was palpable - very Jane Austenesque as one newspaper reviewer wrote. The 2-bedroom family room was spacious and the cereals, yogurt juice and milk for breakfast were great - as was the large refrigerator. The gas heater in the lounge room pumped out heat well and the electric blankets were very welcome.

Uncomfortable bed and no sink in the kitchen.

The site was picturesque.

The TV didn’t work, privacy curtains on the bathroom window.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Loved the oldie worldly feel, stepping back in time. Enjoyed the supplied breakfast. Toasty warm with all the heaters, electric blanket and combustion fire.

The accommodation is rustic but perfect for those travelling with pets. In our case, a golden retriever.

The grounds are magnificent. The location is grand. The art is intriguing.

Place was a little tricky to find - it seemed that the sign at the driveway entrance could only be seen from one direction. We initially missed the entrance. Then the signposting to the cottage could have been better. Actually, initially drove past our cottage and eventually found it. (Granted weather was rotten at the time so visibility was poor). Did not expect kitchen facilities to be a plastic tub for the sink and found no teaspoons. One chair at dining table was very unstable and indeed started to fall apart upon use.

Very quiet location. Not far to shops and restaurants. Accommodation was warm and spacious. Breakfast supplies were good. Rarely saw anyone else.

The property and gardens are quite rundown. The gardens could be wonderful with a bit of tlc.

Very spacious apartments and a serene location with lovely views

Needs a little tidy up around the edges.

Charming heritage setting. Comfortable and plenty of room. A quality continental breakfast supplied. Close enough to the motorway for an overnight stay when travelling.

Some greater attention to details - light not working, 1 electric blanket not working, partially broken toilet seat, TV instructions could have been clearer. Some further information on the sculptures would be good to have as well.

The property is in a great location, nice to walk around and explore the sculptures. Breakfast provisions were great.

There was a musty odour in our unit.

The extensive grounds with modern sculptures, rabbits, kangaroos and deer were fabulous. I enjoyed the continental breakfast included in the price.

The only thing what needs to be fixed is the shower as the panel is coming off and there is a lot of Mould which needs to be removed as it is a health concern. A bucket with a mop would be good for slobber dogs.

I like everything about this place. The view, the courtyard, the sculptures. The close proximity to the Moss Vale. The quite space if other people would control their dogs better (barking)

We were led to believe it was aircon. No air conditioning. That is fine but should have known. It was summer and luckily we had a cool change. Just should have known.

I loved that it was a historic site

No internet, but not a huge problem

Needs a bit of cleaning and very hard to stay too long as the washing facilities for your dishes is not great but it is a step back in time. You have to fill your bowl with water and wash your dishes. So if staying longer than two nights it becomes a bit tedious not having a sink. There were lots of noises at night time and didn’t know if there was something crawling inside the cabin or underneath but woke several times. So wasn’t that great for sleeping. :(

The views were amazing and tranquil

The cottage wasn’t very clean. There was dust and dirt on the floors, carpet and in corners. The bath has to be scrubbed to remove the dirty ring before I could use it. The dishwashing liquid bottle was almost empty. There was only one wine glass, and that was a champagne flute, not for wine. One of the bath towels has a hole in it. The lounge has cracks in the leather. The overall impression I had of the cottage was shabby - such a shame, as it’s a gorgeous place but could just do with some attention to detail and maybe a bit more TLC.

The cottage building was spacious and comfy. I was able to have a bath which was a real treat! The views were spectacular, and the grounds with the sculptures were amazing. I loved the huge pine trees. Seeing kangaroos and rabbits around was lovely. Our dog has plenty of room to run around in the grounds.

The furniture is too old to use and the accommodation could use a good clean.

The location is beautiful, with lots of wildlife around the accommodation. And the heritage charm is lovely.

Would have like to be able to explore the other buildings and historical aspects of the property. Also it did feel a little run down.

Love the charm, history and beautiful grounds! Absolutely stunning property. Loved the antique furniture and styling. Large rooms and lots of windows to let the fresh southern highlands air in. Really liked reading the history in the information booklet provided.

Was not very clean, staff not around, bathroom in need of maintenance, shower door not closing
