Fantastic pet friendly cottage.

The area and accommodation was fantastic. For us, unfortunately the weather was terrible but we will be back hopefully with more opportunities to explore when it’s not teaming with rain and storming.

Dog friendly Paradise

Needed a base in the area for a few days and needed dog friendly digs. This place was perfect for both. Loved saying hello to the horses too. Highly recommended. Thank you!!

A great stay

Lovely property, so much space, a wonderful pool and we especially loved the visits from cockatoos (even the black ones!) and spending time with the horses who loved to say hello. The property owners were very communicative and lovely! A beautiful area to both close to the property and further afield. We would definitely like to return.

A wonderful relaxing retreat

We had a wonderful 2 week stay at Laurein and Michael's beautiful cottage nestled amongst the pine trees of their secluded Highvale property, whilst we waited on settlement of our new home. Everything was just beautiful with a bottle of Bubbles and chocolates on arrival, with fully stocked tea, coffee & milk if you preferred. The covered patio is the perfect place to sit back with a cuppa and watch the sun rise through the pines. The cottage is very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The big black horse Sooty and his agistment mate Sunny add to the country serenity, who enjoy a treat of carrots and apples if you so wish. Our dogs also enjoyed the company of Massey, 1 of 3 of the friendly farm dogs at the property. We would thoroughly recommend this gorgeous cottage which is a credit to Michael & Laurein for all their hard work in keeping it so lovely and welcoming. We will certainly be recommending it to our friends. Thanks once again for a wonderful stay.
