It was a lovely quiet place to stay. Fully fenced so our dog was safe in the garden. The hosts checked in via the app to make sure we arrived safely. - 26 Jul 2026

We absolutely loved our visit to Anthony & Andrew’s place. A cosy little cottage with aged nostalgia remaining which we absolutely loved. The wood fire, hot shower & large towels along with the comfy bed were very welcomed after a long drive. - 23 Jul 2026

Beautiful cottage with all ammenities required set in a very beautiful garden. Walking distance to the lake and the town centre, yet it feels secluded. I came for a short self inflicted digital cleanse, and was pleased to find the cottage contained some physical media. My evenings involved a glass of wine on the balcony watching the sunset and masses of native Birdlife while the dogs enjoyed the fully fenced garden, then retreating to the fireside to enjoy a book at the dedicated reading nook while listening to one of the many CD collections (Tchaikovsky became the favourite). I also appreciated that this is a truly dog friendly airbnb. My two Australian shepherds quickly settled in, the town itself is also very dog friendly. This is on my list to visit again and will recommend to my friends for singles, couples and those traveling with pets. - 22 Jul 2026
