Shalimahs Secret-Beautifully Designed Luxe Cottage *10min to HV Gardens

Great place to stay and host was accomodating to personal requests, and early check in.

Lovely location and view.The bathrooms were lovely and clean too.The fire place hasn’t been maintained; and there wasn’t available wood to use anyway.There isn’t a spa/whirl pool/hot tub, as mentioned in the listing. But there is a bath.And there’s just so much stuff that’s broken or about to break (the ensuite bathroom screen door is an accident waiting to happen). The most annoying was the kitchen bin that’s in a drawer that you can’t open. We knew as soon as we saw the broken swing as we entered that this was probably a lovely property 2 years ago, but the photos and price do not match expectations for today.I tried messaging the owner about where I might find a light bulb for one of the bedrooms, but I never heard from them.Overall, a very average experience, but Cessnock is a friendly and lovely town.

When we went the property was not even cleaned and we went for 2 nights and they wanted us to move to other property for one night and then come back to the original property cause they didn’t clean it. We went there to relax and enjoy our time off but when we saw the property we regretted….

Very clean modern facilities. Great space. Would stay again. Great location

Had such a lovely time and the house is perfect for a girls trip! The bathrooms were also beautiful! Will definitely stay here again
