"Get away from the world for a while"

Cottage is set on 25 acres, on the side of a hill, above the tree lined Angus river. It is a self catering rural retreat for 2 people. The non hosted B&B accommodation is set up as a romantic getaway for two, completely private from the road on a working beef cattle farm.
Included are previsions for full cooked breakfasts for each day.
There is no BBQ, oven or hot plates but we have an electric frying pan, microwave, toaster, kettle bar fridge utensils etc. There are 2 pubs and a cafe in Macclesfield with good food and they can do take away.
For safety we do not allow candles to be used in or around the cottage but we have supplied some solar lights instead.
Because Mirrabooka is designed to "Get away from the world for a while" there is no TV, but we do have games, books and peace & quiet. Also NO WIFI but you can get mobile coverage.
The bedroom and lounge open out onto the balcony where the spa bath is screened by bamboo and roller blinds if you want.

We absolutely loved exploring the 25 acres and spending time with the cows! It was so lovely to disconnect from the world, play games, have some drinks and share laughs. The accommodation was truly beautiful!

We had a fabulous stay. The cabin was secluded and had everything we needed to get a way from it all. We spent the mornings relaxing in the spa before heading out to see what the region had to offer. The location was very tranquil with beautiful views across the rolling hills. We were very relaxed by the end of our stay as the only sounds being the babbling creek and the birds.

A Great Romantic Escape & Home Away from Home

Our accomodation in Macclesfield while we were attending a Wedding at a local winery was Absolutely FANTASTIC in all aspects. The peace & tranquillity of the beautiful countryside setting, the well appointed cottage , the quaint decor & the lovely spa on the deck was so relaxing. It couldn’t have been more perfect & our Superhost was so accommodating with a last minute change too. So, all in all, we LOVED our time in Macclesfield & we’ll definitely be back!! Thank you so much.

Hidden gem

Peace and quiet. The serenity of the property with spectacular views is absolutely stunning. And just a 2km drive into Macclesfield town where you'll find some of the best country pubs with great food. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to unwind and forget about the rest of the world 🌎

Great property to get away from it all so serene but close enough to Macclesfield to enjoy dining out at the 2 hotels which were both wonderful in very different ways. Breakfast provisions were lovely but was missing condiments and Vegemite ect.

A perfect weekend getaway

The place was very clean and well put together. We enjoyed playing boardgames overlooking the fields listening to the babbling brook (and in the evening the Koalas). Close enough to Strathalbyn to pop over to check out the farmers market but far enough away that you feel away from it all. Would love to stay here again in the future 😊
