My partner and I recently spent four wonderful nights at this tranquil and charming cottage, and it was truly a magical experience. Nestled in nature, the peaceful surroundings and soothing sounds of wildlife made our stay incredibly grounding and rejuvenating.From the moment we arrived,Theresa and Marc were fantastic hosts—easy to communicate with . I’m quite particular and fussy about where I stay, and it’s rare to find a place that I can wholeheartedly enjoy without any reservations. This cottage was definitely one of those special places. My partner usually waits for me to point out any negatives, but this time, there simply weren’t any.Every detail of the cottage shows how much care Theresa and Marc have put into creating a warm and inviting space. It’s quaint, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything you could possibly need—there were chocolates, a big bowl of fresh fruit including grapes, plenty of milk, butter, bread, and more. Honestly, you don’t need to bring anything but yourself to enjoy the stay.I’m extremely grateful to Theresa and Marc for sharing their little haven with us. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat to reconnect with nature and unwind, I can’t recommend this place enough. TheThe only slight downside is that pets aren’t allowed. While I don’t have a dog now, I dream of having a little King Charles Cavalier or a poodle one day, so it would have been nice to bring a furry friend along in the future.

Overnight stay
Our Stayz was only for one night and we did see the website to know that the home was beautifully decked out in antique furniture and period fitting pieces but when opening the cupboards and seeing even the plates were period fitting, etc. was such a beautiful touch. And so were the added extras that you never usually see at a Stayz included fresh fruit in the fridge along with fresh milk, butter, and condiments also a fresh loaf of sourdough on the kitchen bench, and there were chocolates!!!!! just perfect as was the cleanliness of the House and property. If there was to be any fault, the lack of Wi-Fi was disappointing, but hopefully an easy fix. Thank you for a touch of history
great house with everything that you need for a lovely stay

Lovely peaceful place
A quick overnight stay; would have liked to have stayed longer. The cottage is lovely and in a beautiful peaceful quiet place, definitely heard plenty of kookaburras at dusk. I loved the mid 20th century decor and furnishings. Everything was comfortable, just a great place to spend a night or a week.

Kookaburra cottage
The property was easy to find and in a peaceful area. Its located 10mins from the beach and national park. Loved the little touches the hosts left for us like snacks and toiletries. The shower was so big and bedrooms very roomy. Y.

Just perfect
We recently stayed at this charming cottage during our Easter break, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The cottage itself is incredibly cozy, equipped with all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.The hosts were wonderful, providing breakfast and fruits for our stay, which was a lovely touch. The environment around the cottage is stunningly beautiful and tranquil, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.Its location is ideal, being close to Avoca Beach, Terrigal, and Killcare, making it easy to explore these lovely areas. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the nearby beaches, this cottage is a fantastic choice.Highly recommended!
