Relaxing break
Absolutely loved staying here. From sitting under the beautiful established trees reading a book to sitting on the front verandah watching the storms pass. Very relaxing. Highly recommend staying here. Would love to come back with my hubby and kids.

Thanks Charles. I was not aware paths ere overgrown (remiss of us). I shall check it out as I was so happy to see council were putting a walktrack in for tourism. Unfortunately councils then seem to forget about upkeep. Cheers Marianne

Quiet cabin near the Murray River
We had a great time staying at the Cabin. It was warm with great views of the country side. Easy access to the local pub and convenient stores, locals were very friendly. Would be happy to stay here again, recommended.

Hows the serenity
We had a lovely stay. For those who really want to get away for it all this is the spot! Dining options are limited locally so bring the esky. The Murray is majestic and there are plenty of great fishing spots to relax and go for a swim. The farm animals where also great to have around too!

Thanks Marius for your generous response as I know you had to clean the air-conditioning. Remiss of Paul and he was not happy with himself when I told him.....next time we shall book you into the Jingellic pub and it's on us!

Peace in the bush
Jasmine Cottage filled all our expectations, we carefully read all the reviews, and what people had written was exacting. We wanted isolation, views, peacefulness and luckily for us perfect weather. The cottage had every item you could need on a holiday, and breakfast on the veranda was a great start to the day

Melbourne to Sydney via Canberra
Long trip home was broken up with a stay at Walwa and then a trip through the mountains to Canberra. House was great and suited us perfectly with 2 young children. Walwa and the upper Murray valley is beautiful country.

Peacefulness & Relaxation
We had a great stay at Jasmine’s Cottage. Exactly how it was advertised. Wish we had more time to really enjoy all the facilities such as the outdoor courtyard with fireplace to enjoy the mountain & watch the kangaroos. We did enjoy breakfast on the front porch to soak in the stunning views. Played games thanks to the variety the cottage has on offer. Fantastic family stay. Beds extremely comfortable and heater/aircon worked to warm / cool cottage as required. All the equipment you need in a kitchen even a microwave rice cooker. The only tiny comment is a sharper knife. Terrific shower surprised strength of water pressure, softness of water made quick showers due to tank water easy. Had a great stay and would recommend.

Lovely house in beautiful surrounds, but a few small issues for us
This is a lovely house in a beautiful, peaceful part of the country. The bed and pillows were comfortable and we appreciated the ceiling fan (especially because the air conditioner is very loud), but the floors throughout the living areas are quite creaky which was noticeable in the morning since one us us sleeps in longer than the other. It would have been good to have more time to enjoy the surrounds, but I did love listening to and watching the birds in the garden and next door vineyard on our one morning there. Unfortunately I hadn't noticed on the house listing that there as no internet connection available (a pity for us young people who come to expect it), and this became a further issue since we had no mobile phone reception anywhere within 20 minutes drive from the house (with Vodafone). Mercifully my phone allowed me to access the email with the key lock code on it when we arrived at the house, but we had to drive quite a way to access our online maps to find our way back home. Since there was no phone at the house we felt slightly unsafe without any way to contact the outside world if it had been necessary (which it wasn't). One of the aspects that drew me to the house listing was the bath, but there was a sign in the bathroom requesting that only short showers be taken since there is only tank water at the house so I didn't feel like I could have a bath after all. I'm glad to have been able to stay at this lovely house, but there were a few things that weren't quite what I expected and I would have appreciated if they were made clear in the listing (such as the request to limit the use of tank water and the lack of phone reception).

Thankyou for your feedback. We do love our little cottage. Country life is very different to the city (I'm only presuming this is where you were headed). During the humid days of summer the wood absorbs moisture from the air and the floor boards expand, in winter the floor contracts. We have not been told by any other guest that the aircon is noisy. Yes, on our listing it says no internet. There is a Telstra tower which you can see from the house. Unfortunately, the phone service drops out even with Telstra so mobile service is intermittent. Consequently, online maps could be a problem. Re the bath, if I was you I would have gone right ahead and treated yourself...….note is just for those who have very long showers! Also, during the peak periods we do not normally do (1) night stays but as you were traveling long distances I felt inclined to let it go this time. Kind regards Marianne

Nice property but a few issues
The property was really nice and we loved the big front yard overlooking the hills. The house had everything we needed but we had a few issues. The address on the booking was wrong and we ended up on a strangers property late at night and not sure where to go. Some of the kitchenware was greasy and the BBQ was rusty and not really useable. And there wasn't enough toilet paper in the house. Still we had a nice stay and it was good value for money. Marianne was very helpful with answering all our queries.
