It was a great place to share and rest a lot. The attention was also excellent since a lady used to gift us things, like cookies, muffins and all of that was delicious. The bathrooms worked well, the place was clean and the beds so comfortable. I recommend this place to the tourists that are going to the mountains to enjoy the snow

High country summer getaway

Great place to visit. We definitely could have stayed a few more days. Plenty of dog friendly activities. It would be a great place to stay at other times of the year as well We very much enjoyed Maggie’s baked treats and the Strawbale cottage holiday vibe. A bit warm because of a couple of very hot days so another fan or aircon would be great.

Delightful Holiday Accomodation

We had a wonderful stay at Frogsong Cottage, thanks to the exceptional hospitality of Maggie and Dave. From the moment we arrived, Maggie gave us a warm welcome and a thoughtful tour of the property, even greeting us with a loaf of freshly baked bread. The following morning, breakfast was provided, complete with delicious muffins fresh from the oven.The accommodation itself was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. With beautiful surrounds, Frogsong Cottage provides a peaceful retreat for relaxing.We highly recommend staying here — it's a true gem!

Nature. Birds. Bush. Quiet. Frogs. Kangaroos. Cows. Warm fire. Beautiful scenery. Delicious homemade bread, biscuits, scones and jam. Lovely walks on the property. Sounds of a flute playing a long with nature sounds. Lovely hosts. Stayed with a 4 year old and an old dog and was quite suitable.

Our stay here was great, Maggie and David were amazing and very helpful. Maggie’s baked bread and cookies were amazing and then to top it off Maggie came to us the morning of us checking out with baked muffins which were also amazing. Very nice and quiet place for a weekend away to unwind and relax with the fire place. Thank you Maggie and David for a great weekend.
