I am a professional within the building/planning industry
The dwelling was clean. Good quality sheets and all the mod cons. My two Small dogs are happy. (I haven’t let them in the front yard, the underside of the front gate wouldn’t keep them in. But my dogs are mini)

Great location and cute little cottage
The stay was homey and cosey. We did find some old banana on the bedside table and the driveway desperately needs hedging....and we have a small car!! Check in was seamless and location was nice and quiet. Very cute little nanna decore.

Average little cottage, could do with a refresh
This cottage is fine for a short stay. It has a lovely layout and the central heating is a must as without it it would be very cold most of the year, but you do get the feeling that it is a bit unloved. The magazine rack hasn’t been updated since 2019, there are old dried flowers everywhere and access to the property via the driveway is suitable for small cars only as it’s very narrow and difficult to manoeuvre. It’s not quite suitable for the elderly and yet the furnishing style seems targeted at an older age group. Overall it’s pleasant enough but pricy for what you get. It has potential but is in need of a refresh.

Happy family time
Very good location, cute property, may be a little too many fake flower decorations , but overall plaisant. One of the beds was on the small side, but the younger couple made do with it. We had a good family weekend.

Cosy cottage in great location
What a gem! The cottage was immaculately clean. It has central heating which made it so cosy and warm in the middle of winter. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. The location was great for walks with our dogs by the creek and it is close to town and the Bradman museum. Contact with the agent was great. We had a lovely stay. Thank you so much.

Not for release but some comments
Property well located and well kept. Internet connection could be helpful (or if available I could not get it). Require some extra blankets since the nights are cold Driveway too narrow for cars and front gate access to property is not well designed

Great location
Perfect for our stay for a wedding at Bendooley Estate. Cute cottage though use of wide angle lens makes place look a lot bigger than it is. Visit from possums in the wall made for a bit of excitement in the night!

Dust filled otherwise nice
The house was lovely, full of character. But cleanliness is a negative, the house is tidy but full of dust. My partner and I, had blocked noses and itchy eyes due to the amount of dust collected within the house. The house photos are also very deceiving, the house itself is actually quite small which includes the sun room.
