Loved this beautiful cosy dog friendly cottage and all the extra thoughtful gestures the owners had for us when we arrived. Great enclosed yard for our dog and thoughtful dog supplies there for us to use. Very considerate hosts who thought of everything. Would highly recommend. Close to town but far enough away for the quiet and serenity!

This property was lovely , just the cleanliness of the place lets it down . We stay for 5 nights and it is very dog friendly. Unfortunately the cabin was far from clean , and I’m not a neat freak.

An ideal BnB for family & pets. Heaps of food provided, to help when you arrive & following days. For a winter stay there is a wood heater, making it nice & cosy. Anyone would love staying there with their pet.

This was the ideal property for us to base ourselves on, plenty of secure grounds for our border collie to explore. The cottage was well equipped, cosy warm fireplace and comfortable beds. Lovely touches including continental breakfast staples, chocolates, wine and doggie treats were a nice addition. Enjoyed our stay.

Disappointed

To be honest we were disappointed with the property. It was not very clean, between the seats on the couch was like a sand pit, the shower had quite a bit of mould and soap scum. The beds were very poorly made with fitted sheets not even pulled on properly, however they were comfortable. The towels were very thin and old. We loved the fire and that kept us nice and warm. Overall the accommodation was ok for what we needed but is a bit tired and could be presented a lot nicer. We would not choose to stay again.

Lovely, quiet place just outside Mount Gambier. Nice big secure yard for the 2 dogs. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen, lounge room and shower.
