We had a lovely stay and Melissa was very good with information about checking in we found every thing was there for us that we needed it was a very cold weekend and we would have liked to use the fire place but there was no information regarding the fire wood. We did find it just as we were leaving so that was a bit disappointing but over all it was a lovely place to stay. Thank you

A perfect Autumn weekend retreat
Melissa was very accommodating as we had asked to check in a tad early to let our son nap at the property. She had set the heater to go on an hr before we arrived so that the house is nice and toasty when we entered. The property was perfect, very neat, had everything we needed and the heated bathroom floors were a bonus!

Beautiful home in Southern Highlands
Our family had a wonderful 5 night stay and loved this place. The property is immaculate and kitted out with absolutely everything needed to make it home from home. Recommend the property and the host without hesitation. Highly recommend a drink or dinner at the Robertson Hotel which is directly opposite the property.

Beautiful Stay for our Wedding
We stayed here the night before and after our wedding in Robertson. The property is aesthetically beautiful, comfortable and homely. It is a 2 min drive to the pub and cafes. The home has a country vibe and was a beautiful place to stay for our special weekend. The owners are very accommodating. The decor and final touches are well thought out. You have everything you need. This place is very special and we will definitely return.

Lovely Cottage
Lovely period-style cottage, neatly and cleanly presented with many extras to make it feel welcoming and homely. A good location. Melissa responded promptly to queries, and made suggestions for tourist attractions in the area.
Parking for more than one car is a little tight, especially after heavy rain as additional grassed parking areas were bogged.

Beautiful house, pleasant outlook in a picturesque town
The house is beautifully appointed (with everything you need), very roomy and with comfortable beds.
Our daughter used the house to get ready on the morning of her wedding. We know the photographer and videographer captured some great photos in lovely surroundings.
We were aware that the parking is limited and access is a little tricky down a narrow lane and steep driveway. Something to note if many people are coming and going but in most cases this won't be an issue.
Overall we very much enjoyed our stay.
