Having stayed at a number of cottages in the area, I can say that this is one of the best!!! Prior to arriving, communication was fantastic. The Fern Cottage was absolutely magnificent. Upon arrival, Helen's greeting was very warm and then to find she had the fire going, with chocolate, port, cheese and biscuits there for us!! The setting is... More

The only thing wrong with our stay was that it was too short. The cottages have everything you could possibly need and there are plenty of board games, books or DVD's if you need them for a rainy day in front of the open fire. Excellent wineries within an hours drive and a beautiful view over the lake right outside... More

We spent two nights here on a Deals Voucher. Helen and Norm were welcoming and informative about what to do and see and are then happy to leave you in peace. There are three purpose built stone cottages on the property, each set far enough way from each other to allow you to still feel quite private. The cottages have... More

We arrived on 13th Aug to this lovely sanctuary 20mins drive from Manfields town. Upon entrying the compound we saw wild kangaroos, rabbits and wallabies hopping around the front yard. Helen greeted us with a warm welcome and Gemma(Her dog) was very excited to see us arrive. The place was beautiful, back to nature, relaxing...no words could describe the feeling... More

After a day snowboarding the spa bath in the cottage always filled up with... More

We were expecting to have to get to the cottage early to bags the best bedroom but all three were fantastic and roomy, the 2 bathrooms were also roomy and lovely. Lots of hot water, even with all six of us having showers... More
