Unexpectedly blown away. Did not expect this level of quality, style or comfort in this location. Well appointed and gorgeous. Bonus points for the kangaroos that came to graze at dusk.

This cottage was so lovely! A lot of the original charm with just the right amount of updates for comfort. Immaculately clean, and ingredients for a full breakfast. We checked in early and were impressed enough that we went back into town for groceries so that we could make and enjoy dinner there. Wish we could have stayed a week.

Fantastic place! We stayed in the Sunset Cottage for one night. The cottage is spacious, with two bedrooms, a lounge room featuring a fireplace (wood and matches provided), and very large kitchen equipped with modern cooking facilities. It was a truly unique experience. A full cook-it-yourself breakfast was provided, including fresh eggs, bacon, milk, and a selection of cereals. The staff were extremely accommodating and helped us recover an item we accidentally left behind.
