Long Weekend for Rugby State Champs
We loved Olive Cottage. We wish we had more time to enjoy the coziness of the home and the fire pit. Beds were comfortable, kitchen fully equipped with everything we needed. The house was stocked with all facilities to take stress away. The house was extremely clean. Communication when booking was prompt and friendly. We had team dinners in town and used the convenience of the courtesy buses from some of the pubs/clubs. Only. 3 to 5 minute drive to town and we were 15 minutes walking distance to Apex Oval for the rugby. The IGA and pharmacy at the top of the road topped off the convenience of this stay. Thank you very much. We would not hesitate in booking Olive Cottage again :)
