Such a charming house and beautiful countryside location! Moments from the village coffee shop which serves yummy treats and a divine backyard which offers a cosy outdoor fireplace which we enjoyed an afternoon red around. We would love to return. Thanks for the memorable weekend.

Hands down the most beautiful house we have ever stayed in! Super relaxing, everything catered for, excellent location and styled to perfection! We will be back many times.

Eleanor, July 2020

We went away for a girls weekend and it was absolutely  perfect. The house is immaculate and the decor is spot on. There is plenty of room with a well equipped kitchen and ample heating for the winters night. The garden is a delightful and peaceful place to relax day or night with the option of a log fire. . The cottage is right near the lovely general store where we had a delicious breakfast and nice coffee. We got a taxi to Bendooley Estate for lunch which was easy and  lovely. The hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with if we needed. We will definitely be back. Thanks :)

The property is welcoming, unique and all comforts are carefully considered. I loved my stay and would definitely return. The home is purely HEAVEN! Anna

Barbara, March 2020

The property was spotless, it was larger than I expected. It was decorated in an eclectic fashion, very stylish and lots of interesting pieces. The art work was beautiful. The natural lighting and large windows out to the beautiful gardens was a pretty back drop for the bride and bridesmaids to have hair and makeup done. The location of the Cottage was perfect, we had dinner at Bundanoon Hotel - (10 mins away ) we had breakfast and coffee at the little cafe 100metres away - great coffee and food. Long driveway, able to get our cars off the road. Thank you for a great stay!

Virginia, March 2020

Wonderful cottage with gorgeous garden. Well appointed spacious kitchen and comfortable beds. Exeter is a quiet and rural area with Bundanoon only 7 kms away.
