The house is perfect. Had everything we needed and the host provide detailed information on how to get there as well as how to get in to the house. There was provision for breakfast for a few days. The kitchen had very thing we needed. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the towels were high class. There was plenty of wood for the inside fire and when not in use the electric heater kept the house nice and cosy. Easy 10 minutes walking distance to town and shops and a 15 minute walk to the local pub. Lovely views from the front veranda and very comfortable chairs to sit and watch the world go by. Will be coming back very soon . Thank you for a great week.

Lovely family getaway to escape the city and see some snow!

My husband, 7yr old daughter and I booked a two night stay at Adas cottage which is a Fantastic warm and cozy cottage positioned in the best location in a heritage town of Warburton. We loved reading the history and story behind 'Ada'. We planned to see Mt Donna Buang for snow however we were unlucky as there was no fresh snowfall like the previous weekend. So we headed to Lake mountain instead (1hr away) and had a blast. So great for kids and tobboganing. The property is positioned high on a steep incline and surrounded by trees with wonderful views of the Mt donna mountain and overlooks the cricket ground and main street.The highlight was definitely the fire place in the lounge room which we loved using. Watching the fire was entertaining while having a relaxing glass of Rose (provided on arrival) :) We were given fresh bread, juice, milk and butter which was a thoughtful gesture and makes it convenient on arrival. Whatever else we needed IGA is only a 3 min walk across the road. The beds are so comfy and we got really good sleep because the town is so peaceful and quiet.We felt really refreshed after staying here and enjoyed experiencing the country side and escaping crazy Melbourne. Warburton is a beautiful town enriched with history and has an old world charm to it. We 110% recommend the old Alphine Hotel up the road for a delicious pub meal and Cjs pizza. Thank you Kathy for your hospitality. We will be back!

Lovely place for a quiet break

We stayed for 11 days at Ada Cottage and loved every minute of it. The house was just as shown and had everything that we expected. We especially loved the little touches - a stocked fridge, wine, reading material and especially good amenities. We loved that we had no need to worry about cleaning materials, bedroom and bathroom linen and supplies and little things like pegs for washing etc. A really well provisioned place. It is also wonderfully central - we could walk to anywhere in Warburton. BTW, try the Alpine Hotel, such a beautiful setting. Our thanks to Kathy, a great host. As a friend who doesn't say much would say - "Very good, 5 stars".

Overall enjoyed the place. Quiet , homely feel, and close to everything in Warburton and lovely outlook . Housekeeping was a bit below par, needed a thorough vacuum and had unfinished laundry but we still had a great stay and would definitely go back.
