Communal spaces include the lawns, gardens, driveway and trails, but you will have plenty of privacy as well. The Little Forest complex has a bush setting and is circled on one side by the Sydney - Melbourne railway line. As a result, trains are audible at times, and for any kids, part of the fun!

Wasn't quite as relaxing as thought
We were quite disappointed with the Eco Lodge, firstly we were not aware that you need to drive a car that has high clearance (we drive a sedan), the slope to go down was easily missed, and not marked out properly. There was minimal signage other than the map and names outside the other accomodation. We noticed stains on the couch, and there was someone else's rubbish in the bins in the bathroom. The bed sank under our weight, I weigh 55kg and my partner is 78kg. Worst night sleep, the cabin is right next to a rail line, we saw the freight trains in the morning as we were leaving. We had to book somewhere else to stay the next night, we couldn't stay another night. The bathroom was well renovated though.

Quaint cottage
Quaint little cottage in a reasonable state of repair. Very close to the railway line and noisy at night with a lot of trains. Less trains on Saturday night. The showers were good and the cooking facilities were fine.

Relaxed Christmas break.
My wife and I had ten days in Orchard cottage over the Christmas period visiting relatives in the Highlands. The cottage has a lovely country ambience, set near a big dam with ducks to greet you every morning. Fruit trees kept is in fresh fruit including limes for my gin and tonic, and fresh cut hydrangeas from a neighbouring cottage kept the table dressed.It is a lovely place if you are looking for a quiet escape. We has our two dogs who also made the best of the grounds, including chasing the rabbits. Perfect for pet lovers!

Quaint Cottage
Loved the ambience of the cottage. It had character and was a very easy place to stay. Plenty of heating and extra items available to make it a truly comfortable experience. Hope to be able to stay there again in the not too distant future. My small dog enjoyed the holiday as well.

Relaxing time away from it all
The cottage is cute but in need of a spruce up with gutters growing plants, external wall needs a lick of paint, the grass was mown which was appreciated for our little dog, however previous guests hadn’t cleaned the bbq but that was ok as it was inside weather anyway. The trains can be loud but I used to work for the railways so didn’t mind. We did enjoy our time. Thank you.

Quaint and cozy stay with the dogs
This little eco-cottage is small but covered all our needs and is super cute. It's a little bigger than the 'tiny house' experience but at no point did we feel like we were in each other's way because it's so well laid out. And we have 3 big dogs too. There is plenty of lawn for the puppies and it's away from the other properties on the premises so you feel like you're in a world of your own. The cottage is right beside a creek and there's a bush track towards the back of the lawn which was nice for our morning walk. It's only a 10 min drive from Mittagong town centre and 17min drive from Bowral town centre. The property managers were super efficient and easy to contact and we felt very welcome. The cottage has living, kitchen and bathroom downstairs and a staircase in the middle which takes you up to the bedroom loft at the top. The shower/toilet room and the kitchen were surprisingly roomy for the size of the cottage. Theres a small bbq, standard gas stove microwave, fridge, oil heaters + fans (top and bottom). We had nibbles and bbq out on the porch while playing scrabble. We took 2 X-large dog crates with us and these fit at the top of the stairs with enough room to walk easily up there. A few things to be aware of: The stairs are narrow and the top few are fairly steep. There is a large shed in the area that you look out at. As it's an eco-cottage, there is no town water so there is a water tank and treatment mechanism on site. I assume that because of this, the cleaning products that are used are not strong chemicals. Becsuse of this, there is a little mould in the shower grout and screen. The exterior of the property could do with a little extra care- some weeding, a paint, oiling of the deck. Overall, it was a lovely stay because it was a great experience and offered everything we needed for our 5 day stay. We had a great time exploring and relaxing in the little cottage.
