    Didn’t use the middle room with dining table at all, rather dark in the daytime, probably good when it’s really cold in Winter (it also has a fireplace.) The cottage is very well equipped, but needs salad servers, a couple of small bowls for nuts and dips, and a tray to carry stuff out to the bbq. Also the hot water system took forever to get hot water to the shower, not really a problem, maybe just ancient plumbing!

    The attention to detail, loved the covered back verandah-room which was warm in the afternoons from sun on the clear roof. Also loved the cosy wood fire in the front lounge room.

    Communication was easy and quick, facilities were excellent (modern and well taken care of) in particular the kitchen which was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook a few full meals. Clean up was a breeze with the dishwasher. We appreciated the video instructions on how to use appliances around the house. The cottage was a short walk to Goolwa Wharf where there are markets on Sunday mornings, the surrounding area was fun to explore overall. Very happy with our stay and would definitely come back!

    This cottage was fantastic! Beautifully decorated, cosy fireplaces and just lots of character. The whole cottage had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Kitchen was well supplied with essentials, bathroom was well supplied, games and books plus some firewood for a cozy fire in the fireplaces. I would definitely stay here again!

    It was perfect! Nothing bad.

    Well I do not think the pictures on the website do this place justice. Totally amazing! Beautifully furnished and very clean and a nice bottle of welcoming local wine to boot. 10 minute walk to the restaurant zone and in an old cottage with not one but two fireplaces. Beautiful and we all loved it so much. Thanks for the experience!
