Gingerbread Cottage - Quiet Getaway

Cosy "Gingerbread Cottage", minutes from Somerset Dam - Dogs welcome!

Fabulous holiday house nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac in the historic village of Somerset Dam. Ideal for the family or a bunch of friends wanting to escape and enjoy the peaceful setting that Gingerbread Cottage has to offer.

Downstairs has a hotel style queen sized master attached to the shared colonial style bathroom. Comfortable cosy lounge area with widescreen TV and a selection of DVD's to enjoy. Roomy fully equipped kitchen hosting a fridge/freezer with ice and water, upright cooker, indoor dining area and a hideaway laundry. Downstairs is also air-conditioned and has ceiling fans. The back deck offers a great place to have morning coffee while overlooking the back yard and treed hillside. Expect a visit from the wild but friendly King Parrots. At night it's a great place to enjoy a BBQ and entertain.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, with ceiling fans and air conditioners, one with a queen size bed and another with two king single beds. Both rooms have an additional trundle bed to comfortably sleep three. A bathroom completes upstairs.

Gingerbread Cottage is minutes from Lake Somerset. The lake is ideal for BBQ's, boating, canoeing, fishing, kayaking, jet skiing, sailing, water skiing, swimming and walking.

To the north of Somerset is Kilcoy, a quiet rural town where you will find the legendary statue of the Yowie. The drive from Kilcoy to Esk takes you around the foreshores of Lake Somerset where there is a wonderland of hidden valets, bushland and quiet rivers. To the south of Somerset is the historic township of Esk. Nestled beneath the magnificent Glen Rock, Esk is a beautifully kept town with a range of cafe's, gift and antique stores and sites to explore.

Disappointing Experience Due to Cockroaches

My recent stay was unfortunately marred by a cockroach infestation. Despite the promising initial impression, the presence of these cockroaches overshadowed any positive aspects of the stay. The sight of cockroaches scurrying across the floors and walls was not only disturbing but also unacceptable for any standard of cleanliness. This issue extended beyond mere inconvenience; it raised serious concerns about the hygiene and maintenance standards of the establishment. We ended up leaving at 1am as my wife could not sleep. I cannot recommend this place to future guests until significant measures are taken to address and rectify the cockroach problem. It's my hope that this feedback serves as a catalyst for improvement in maintaining a pest-free environment for all guests. It’s a preventable issue.
