Relaxing Country Cottage

Plough Cottage was well equipped and there were plenty of warm blankets/doonas and electric blankets for the beds. The bunk bed room was large and big enough for four to share. The host was easy to communicate with and had really thought of everything you would need to have a pleasant stay. It was a short walk to the lake and a picturesque drive to and from Mansfield. The afternoon sun was lovely on the porch and overall it was a really relaxing time. Our Vodafone mobile service did not work in this area.

10/10 stay, actually a nice clean place

When we arrived we didn’t realise how big the block was, perfect for a small boat and suv/4wd to drive in and turn around, was happy with it straight away, after 3 days I’ve gotta say I’ll be coming back and I’ll be recommending plough cottage to friends and family, great neighbours and atmosphere, so close to the water and boat ramp. Bruce is a great bloke and made the check in easy as. Everything you need there apart from sheets for the beds really.

Great place to stay at a reasonable price!

The owner of the property Bruce is a good man. We stayed there for two nights in winter and the heater kept us warm. A great place for family to stay at a reasonable price. Overall my family had nice experience. If your mob provider is not Telstra, just a sim card for short term so that you have access to mob network to be able to use GPS to get around in that rural area.

Will visit again

Lovely place to live as a family, kids friendly environment. My daughter enjoyed drawing using colours and the games for kids. We felt like we were at home. It was a very nice place to stay for holidays. We cooked our own good and enjoyed lovely views around the house. Loved the hills and the lake, it felt so relaxing and peaceful. Only heating was not really working good but we used a spare heater to make it more warmer. I recommend this Property to those who go with a family

Howqua relaxing

Property is old, but comfortable. Had everything we needed. Just needed to take linen and towels. We had a lovely relaxing time, Hubby caught some fish and we had our 10 month pup with us which was great to be able to take with us. Yard was not fully dog proof but veranda was. Jamison had a great off leash walk down by the rivers
