The cottage had a very well equipped kitchen and was very comfortable. It was very peaceful and had 3 outside options where you could sit. We had a very enjoyable stay.

Great spot to relax and unwind. Spent more time on the deck amongst the trees than anywhere else. Great acess to lake and river for a swim and a walk. Really clean and comfortable stay.

Saw a bellbird!

Great little cottage. Just right for the 2 of us. Had everything necessary, even tea and coffee, and they'd left us some milk and muffins! All comfortable and clean. It has long been my ambition in 20 years living here to see a bellbird. They're not even that rare! But I never have until now. Saw several on the lovely Riverside walk accessible from the end of the road, then I saw one just by the cottage! Magical.

Room for improvement

Kitchen rubbish had broken lid and need a weight on top of the lid to keep it close. Pot size too small to cook pasta for two. The description mentioned that the mobile signal was variable and that was certainly the case. What was NOT mentioned was that the Bach has NO wifi connection. That might suit some people but not us. Had that been made clear in the description, we would have chosen to stay elsewhere.
