Thank you so much Kay. The cottage was more than we could have imagined. So many thoughtful touches and delicious breakfast provisions. Loved the fairy lights and lanterns!!! The kids absolutely adored the sawdust toilet experience 😊. Will be recommending. We wished we had at least one more night. Stars were outstanding. Thank you so much xxx

Cozy Country Stay
We really enjoyed our time at the Fiery Peak Chalet. Great place to un-plug and unwind and enjoy time with loved ones. We enjoyed use of the hot tub and star gazing in the evenings. Definitely recommend. Kay was great in communication and quick to respond to any inquires.

It was a very pleasant experience for city people like us. Sitting in the outdoor hot tub and star gazing was a once in a lifetime must try. Kay was so kind to lit the fire place for us and it's easy to keep it going. Sleeping with a fire place going was better than the heater. We even cooked our eggs on it and it's perfect. All our breakfast were homemade and the muesli was divine! I guess the only issue for me was no running hot water for wash in the morning but Kay promised that next time when we come back, the mod con will be there! We are so looking forward to come back again and definitely will stay longer!

A great place to get away from "it all"
Our stay was exactly what we needed - an escape from the stresses of modern life, with ample time to laze around in beautiful surroundings with our own private hot tub reading and relaxing. Geraldine township is a short drive away if you're wanting to look around and browse some stores and such. The Eco toilet was a novelty to us, and we were pleasantly surprised with it (no odor at all). The breakfast supplies provided by Kay were a lovely treat, and Kay herself was a friendly host, even bringing us her spare cellphone with some beautiful playlists loaded up and linked to a bluetooth speaker to provide a lovely soundtrack to our stay.
