Anniversary getaway
What a delightful cottage. Extremely cozy, tidy and well stocked. My husband booked this as a surprise so the host and cottage information must have been very well presented for him to be happy to book. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Have recommended you to a few friends already!

Finding an excuse to go back and stay again
My expectations of the accommodation were exceeded. It has everything and more that you could possibly need to enjoy a relaxing stay. Even more surprised to see a fresh loaf of bread in the kitchen on arrival with Adelaide jam. The kitchen is fully equipped, including a coffee machine. The bed was comfortable and the property overall was spacious and tidy. Made to feel right at home. The only con was that the bath did not have running water. I was looking forward to having a bath during my stay and was disappointed when I went to run a bath and not a drop came out. I noticed many reviews mention this issue so assume there’s been a problem for a while.

Annual weekend getaway
It’s our third stay so we obviously enjoy it & we knew what to expect. Unfortunately the spa wasn’t working so I text the property manager & still haven’t received a reply. That was pretty disappointing

Stayed for 4 nights to celebrate our 32nd anniversary. Villa Java was wonderful, cosy, warm and well appointed, the bath was awesome! Also, would have to be the best shower ever! Thanks, Becky! You made our stay very special!

Cosy Perfection
Villa Java exceeded our expectations. It is a spacious, luxurious space with beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The king sized bed, fireplaces and spa bath are wonderful. As our babysitting option fell through at the last minute, we needed to bring our 2 and 5 year old daughters. Becky was flexible and easy going about this change. There was enough space for our family to fit comfortably and the girls loved “swimming” in the massive tub. We definitely intend to return!

Beautiful place , spoilt by industrial noise due to neighbours renovations
This place is as stunning as it looks . The spa bath is very lush, as was the fire place . it’s a beautifully laid out place, with lots of little extra’s .Yet sadly my stay wasn't very pleasant . I wanted rest and peace and quiet ..unfortunately I experienced alot of intrusive industrial noise . I recommend Villa Java , only as a weekender, rather than a longer stay , until the very nearby neighbours have finished their renovations . It was extremely noisy in the week, whilst I stayed and there was not a lot of privacy , with trades people coming and going daily . The accommodation is in a shared small cul de sac and has a shared backyard, currently undergoing landscaping .. I had a very uncomfortable experience with one of the trades people and issues of privacy . . My stay was also hampered by very slow communication both from Vrbo and the owner . Becky is lovely when you meet her , and I really appreciated that some things were beyond her control , but responses to messages were very slow , including check in details and about fire wood . There was no advance warning about very poor lighting due to electrical issues . Pre warning could have allowed me to better prepare .
