Great Location to Relax

We have stayed here previously and loved it so much we came back. Short walk to the village for shopping, cafes and the pub. The house is dog friendly and so is the pub which is great for us.

Wonderful short stay

Stella Ann was a unique stay. It is a nostalgic cottage, very comfortable, clean and everything you need for your stay. A short walk to the shopping village which is very handy, a lovely verandah to sit and have a glass of wine in the afternoon. The garden is very pleasant to sit and have breakfast and listen to the birdson. Will come again.

Every little thing has been thought about, such an amazing place!

From the wine on the table, the milk in the fridge and the heaters on, every little detail has been thought about, every conceivable need was preempted and the house beautiful and immaculate - we are already planning to return!

Excellent and relaxing getaway

Quant cottage style house. We loved the rustic interior. It's walking distance to the main strip, so you can easily walk to the shops, pub or go kayaking. The host is very friendly and attentive. Comes with a full kitchen and dishwasher! If you want a nice relaxing stay and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect retreat for the whole family.

Quirky property in convenient location

Great location for strolling to town, and we enjoyed relaxing on front verandah. Out door furniture at rear of property was pretty shabby and grounds were overgrown during our spring stay. Overlooked by house at the rear. Interior was comfortable but olde worlde. Everything we needed and dog friendly. Nice hosts.

Quaint Cottage

We had an enjoyable stay in this quaint cottage. Heather has put care and attention into getting the style of the numerous decorations and fit out to blend in. Stella Ann has a quiet garden and the planting at the back will soon screen off the back neighbour.

Nice and close to town. All kitchen stuff available. Heather was easy to contact and nice. Could do with an empty cupboard to store groceries. And heating in the tv room would be welcomed. Will need more room to turn car around now front block is sold. Thanks again.

Extra charges but do what

4 girlfriends go way to stay at cottage that sleeps 6. We got charged for an extra person- questioned this and topic was avoided. Had to pay extra charge for cleaning on top of advertised nightly rate. The cottage had lots os cob webs over roof, windows doors. The cottage itself was lovely, very comfortable double beds. The single room was very poor, no way to cover windows, room musty and dusty. Couldn’t sit outside due to bugs which was a shame. Kangaroo valley was beautiful and locals incrediblely friendly and welcoming. The area is so beautiful. The situation of cottage was wonderful.

Home Away From Home

We stayed for a week post Christmas with some friends/family joining us for the last few days. The house is historic so don’t expect a modern house, but we loved it and everything it had to offer. It was just a short walk into the village with everything you need including a great bakery and pub. You do need to walk through one bedroom to get to another and the single bed has no curtains (all fixed with a sleep mask).

A get together with friends

The booking process was simple and smooth. The host very kindly provided a complimentary bottle of wine. The home is a delightful mix of antiques and charmingly decorated with. The verandah was nice but not cleaned so could not be used. And the door featured on the website is every bit the alluring image, however as the door was jammed shut in our visit , it presented a limitation.

Cute old cottage for 2 mates, 2 couples or family

The place was cute and charming, kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom is tiny but has what you need. Just beware of the bedroom description if you’re a couple of girlfriends all expecting to have your own private room, only 2 of the rooms are private. Lovely balcony with gorgeous garden out front.

Quaint home

Great location for access to coffee, restaurants and pub and in a beautiful setting. It is a lovely old home, but as with all old homes it did mean a number of lights didn’t work, the taps dripped unless turned off tightly and the fireplace door latch was broken so it made it difficult to close the fireplace door safely. The fourth bedroom is accessed via the third bedroom.

Quaint and quirky family home.

The inside of the house is great and everything you could want or need is there for you. The outside needs some love and repair but the weather actually didn't afford us much opportunity for outside living. Close to town with a lovely village vibe.

Warm, Interesting home in an appealing small town

My brother-in-law, my granddaughter and I quite enjoyed our stay in this homey, unique cottage. It is arranged like two suites, two bedrooms each at either end with the only bathroom in between. There is in addition a living room plus a family room, with plenty of seating. The kitchen is well equipped for a long stay in this charming little town. As advertised, there was plenty of wildlife to see nearby.
