Amazing stay at banksia cottage

The house had all the things we needed, the location was nice and had a nice surround that is very relaxing The house is highly suitable for a 3 year old child with a playground and accessories, variety of interesting books, and a collection of interesting toys. My granddaughter absolutely adored the house and we will definitely stay there again.

Great for families

Lovely property, perfect for a small family. I stayed with my toddler and baby and everything we needed was there, from the crib to toys and plastic plates. The heating worked well and there were also heaters in the bedrooms which I only used for the baby one night.

Cute cottage, clean, cozy with all amenities

We stayed here for 2 nights. The cottage is small, but perfect for our family of 4 with 2 children under 7. Communication with the owners was great. They provided us with all the information we needed and checked in with us via email during our stay. The cottage was clean, tidy and the gas fireplace heated the house really well. Although the kitchen was the original so quite outdated, it was stocked with all the kitchen appliances we needed. View from the main bedroom looking out at the tree tops was beautiful. I walked into the main village of Leura on one occasion, it was about a 18min walk (brisk walk) and I had to cross over the freeway and walk up a hill. So its definitely not a leisurely walk that young kids would be happy to do! Overall we were really happy with this place and I would highly recommend it

Could not get free channels and no Netflix.My little dog kept finding pieces of glass, which was under the lounge.Bed in main room was fantastic, second bed was terrible.Could not close the gauze door as it had no workable lock, considering this house is dog friendly this is totally unacceptable.They need to update the kitchen and pots and pans are just shoved into a corner cupboard.Unfortunately I can not recommend this house,
