Cute weekend getaway
Cute little accommodation hidden within the trees. Very private from the street and neighbours. Great location to sight see and within distance of Uber eat orders if short of time. A nice accommodation for a weekend getaway with the girls.

A relaxing stay amongst the trees
This is a beautiful location nestled on a hill surrounded by the beautiful forests. The garden is spectacular and the property takes full advantage of the beautiful setting. We had kookaburras, rosellas and parrots visit us, not to mention surprise visit from a wild deer! A very relaxing weekend away in such a beautiful setting.

Room to improve
After payment had been made and booking complete, a week or so later we were asked if we could feed the chickens, there is no mention of having to do this in the description, the task itself isn’t strenuous, but I have come to relax, not To mention it is also stated it’s pet friendly and I was kindly approved to have 2 dogs here, of which aren’t great around chicken, luckily they could stay on the deck with us, of which brings me to the fact it isnt stated until you read the guide that the yard isn’t fully secured. Upon arriving we had a steep climb up many stairs to the top, which was fine for us, but should be a mention incase someone is unable to do this. Upon going through the house, it appeared a lot smaller than we had thought, and a lot of clutter. Once we arrived and read the note it also asked for the bins to be put out, which again isn’t strenuous, but again, come to relax, not a working holiday. The stay itself was nice, the house is situated in a lovely spot, very quiet and peaceful and the deck had ample room for us to sit at, although there was a terrible smell that kept coming by that smelt like sewerage that was very off putting. All in all the communication was great and the stay was nice and adequate, just shocked that we were asked to do tasks, and there were things like the chickens and unsecured yard we weren’t aware about. It also took a week and a half to get the deposit back.

Host profile image
Hi , I'm a graphic designer who also live with my dog Kai. We enjoy Living out in the hills, it's a beautiful place to go bushwalking, bike riding or just getting away from the city for a few days while still feeling close to it. I like to travel and get back to nature by camping. I am slowly renovating the house, so new things, updates and changes will always be going on while none is staying. The House is relaxed and beautiful. I will leave you to your own devices however I'm more then happy to hang out, help out, or just offer ideas on what to do in the local area. Please enjoy your stay!
