The cottage is exactly as described. No tricks here.
Some things we loved: Shower is the best I’ve ever used, heated floor in the bathroom was fantastic, location is perfect for a quiet getaway that’s not too far from the town centres.
Some things that could be improved: the internet situation is a bit lacking for 2023 standards (although I’m more surprised at how bad the phone reception was), the sheets and pillows and towels are cheap (mostly from Kmart), there aren’t enough blankets provided for a stay in winter months, shower doesn’t drain well during use and tends to flood bathroom floor. I was also unimpressed with the fact that our bathroom had two empty bottles of hand soap with no refills, I emailed the property managers but received no reply or soap.
Ultimately, we really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back. This place could be 5 stars if they upgraded a few things like linen, towels and the lounge seating which is a bit uncomfortable. Reading some of the other reviews I did see another person comment about poor communication with property managers when making basic requests during the stay which could be improved.
