Clean, cosy and comfortable!
The owners were great to deal with; they were amenable when we asked to add an extra teen and dog to our booking, and there was excellent communication throughout.Despite the weather being awful when we visited, the cottage was cosy, comfortable and warm

Comfortable cottage in peaceful area
Thank you Helen and Andrew for meeting us and having a chat. Helen also showed us around the property and suggested a walking trail, which we did the following day and had a great view. We are 2 sisters who go for a short break for each other’s birthday. The cottage has 2 bedrooms and was definitely value for money. Well maintained, spotlessly clean and with a fresh bathroom, the cottage had everything we needed. The comfortable beds and soft, cosy sheets deserve an extra mention! Secluded and peaceful location was just what we wanted and we went gold panning in the river beside the property. The visitors’ book showed just how popular this cottage is!

Beechworth Holiday
Andrew and Helen's cottage was a fantastic choice for us. I travelled with my husband and adult daughter. We loved the cottage and surrounds. A short walk down to a beautiful creek and tranquil bushland to explore. I loved the variety of birds to see, and the complete darkness and thousands of stars on view at night. I slept very well both nights. I would definitely stay again next time I am in the area. Thank you

National Park hideaway
We spent the night in a beautifully appointed 2 bedroom cottage right in the heart of the national park. Plenty of land for our dog to run free. Hosts Andrew and Helen made us feel very welcome. Alan and Diane 14/12/24
