This lady goes beyond a host
The cabin itself was immaculate clean and beautiful decor
The king bed soooo comfortably
We opened all the windows ( aircon available) and let that fresh air in
Looked at the big sky all night under the toasty doona
No need is over looked down to the insect repellent
Couldn't recommend this property more highly

Very quiet and relaxing with lots of wildlife and bird life. The view down the valley and the morning sunrise were awesome.
However when we booked with Wot-if we selected the package to include the breakfast basket for two. The Proprietors disputed this however when I forwarded a copy of the booking confirmation from Wot-if they agreed to honor the booking. We did not receive the breakfast basket as promised. I didn't take this up with the Proprietors as we just wanted to enjoy without any hassles or arguments.

Hi Wayne, Thank you for your review and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. I do recall now that when you originally booked through Wotif some months ago, the rate they offered on their website was incorrectly advertised as breakfast included whereas the rate they charged you was the room only rate. I agreed to honour the booking and include breakfast however forgot about this when you arrived. There would have been no argument or hassles about providing you with breakfast provisions had you raised this oversight with us. We are sorry that this detracted from your experience and we will be happy to extend complimentary breakfast provisions to you should you visit us again.

Really enjoyed the ambience, particularly sitting outdoors enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine.

A beautiful cottage on a magnificent spot with privacy, quietness, and amazing vistas across the landscape. It was truly blissful.
Very generous breakfast provisions were supplied with freshly baked, home-made, delicious bread. There were fresh cookies and a variety of teas and coffees.
The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished with many nice little touches that were appreciated.
We saw many kangaroos and hares around the property which was lovely. We didn't want to leave and will come back and stay longer next time.
It was absolutely wonderful and is located close to the town of Kingaroy where everything is available.
