Fantastic farm stay
What a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful grounds which we could wander around with our dog. The cottage was well appointed and very comfortable. Close to multiple recreational opportunities if you like the outdoors. Excellent communication with the host. I would definitely like to go back.

I didn't realize...
The bathroom and toilet is upstairs and the 3rd bedroom is tiny under the eaves, more suited to 2 children with 2 single beds. The fire is fabulous, everything else a wonderful experience and super comfortable larger beds

Fantastic location, beautiful spot.
It was a busy weekend riding bikes at Mt Hutt. The cottage was perfectly located, beautiful spot, lovely to come home to. Would have been nice to have had a bit more time to enjoy it. Even so we had a fantastic weekend. Thank you so much.

Simple but good space for family hols
A nice enough spot, but lacking a few finer details that you expect of a 'lodge type stay' eg: 4pm check in was required (a chilly 3 deg out) No heating on and the fire took a while to crank up, getting mega hot upstairs yet still cold down with timber floors... (no kindling, firelighters, paper, even coffee on arrival), only one side of elec blanket one bed, none on single beds. Loud noises from attached unit (thin walls) kids running up and down wooden stairs and their gas califont clicking and cluncking right outside the downstairs main bedroom much of the night and early morning was a bit annoying! Im sure the owners mean well but seem busy/preoccupied with so many rooms to manage

Be wary - two adjacent cottages
The big problem is the single building is two cottages, separated by a paper-thin wall. This is not clear in the property description. It is also the opposite of Bookabach’s claim that “you get the whole private home”. The upstairs bedroom (& living room) in the cottage is immediately adjacent to the neighbouring cottage. On our first night, we were woken up by the neighbours arriving at 10 pm, hearing them walk up and down their stairs, talking, etc. It was like being in a hostel (not a “private home”). I called the owner, who said that if we wanted to leave, she would refund our stay (we were never fully refunded). We then spent until around 1 am trying to contact Bookabach to cancel the booking, and then booking a new place for the next night (not easy as this was during school holidays). We were then woken up again at 7 am by the neighbours leaving. The wooden structure is very noisy, lots of creaking and general sounds as people move about - inappropriate for conjoining two cottages. It was to difficult contact VRBO when realising the accommodation was sub-standard and misleadingly advertised. Try it – there is no general contact number or even email. My advice is the obvious – only book once you have read ALL the reviews, and if a property has few reviews, don’t go there. Overall, the property would be fine if there no neighbours. But under no circumstances would I recommend staying here if you were unsure whether somebody else was in the next door unit.
