Guest Reviews
- Chalotte Molvang (8/5): Pleasant stay at the cottage - Location and off street parking. Lovely stone cottage. Wifi is free but can only be used for emails and low data, otherwise potential charges, so make sure you have your own data if you want to stream.
- Natasha (9/5): -
- Susan (9/5): Overall, it's a lovely, comfortable cottage and the location was great and convenient. - Location was great.
Very cosy and comfortable. WiFi use and mimimal TV reception.
- Andrea (10/5): Fantastic will definitely be back :) - Gorgeous homely place with every need covered.
Great gardens.
- Karen (10/5): - Full of character and great location. Would have liked to stay longer
- Robert (10/5): A most enjoyable stay. - The location was excellent. The house was perfect for our group of 4 with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Lovely to be able to sit outside in the afternoons. I really can’t think of anything.
- Rhoda (3/5): Nosey, intrusive host - The property was beautiful, great value for money, close to everything in town and the riverfront. The host entering the property while I wasn't there. The host accusing me of stealing keys that didnt exist well at least I didn't see them I suggest she look elsewhere. The host accusing me of having 6 people at the property when in fact it was just myself and my teenage daughter. The host telling me they have my car registration, umm ok and I did nothing wrong. So basically the host stalking and snooping through the property while no one is in which is against all privacy laws because I rented the whole property for 3 days. I left early because I didnt feel safe, secure or comfortable.
- Matt (10/5): -
- Lyn (9/5): Enjoyable. - Great location which we have used and enjoyed previously. Inside and outside very clean tidy and well maintained. A glitch with the power going out in part of the house - a slight overload in one room. Spoke to owner who advised how to fix - then all good.
- Jen (8/5): - Situation ,size, open fire Lack of heater in single bedroom.
- Barbara (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - The fire was amazing
- Shecky (10/5): Go back every year. - Great location and 2 bathrooms. Coffee machine would be great.
- Byrne (10/5): Beautifully restored cottage in fabulous garden setting. - It felt very welcoming. Facilities and equipment all provided. Beautifully restored cottage in fabulous garden setting. Well-located. Very comfortable.
- Toni (7/5): Fantastic location and the house could be amazing with just an extra attention to cleanliness. - Location was good but with a station wagon the driveway abrupt to enter/exit property. Only the cleanliness, dust everywhere as if hadn’t been vacuumed/mopped and bathrooms unclean.
- Alexandra (9/5): Superb - No breakfast. So why are they called air bed and breakfast.
- Raelene (9/5): Superb -
- Jam (9/5): Beautiful cottage, great location -
- Judith (7/5): Good -
- Philippa (9/5): Superb -
- Michael (8/5): Good central location - Location
Size Nothing that we didnt like but would suggest a screen door on front and side annex
- Jane (8/5): Very relaxing much needed break. - Very peaceful and nice to see the fruit trees out the back. The bed was very comfortable. The lighting was a bit too dim in the lounge room, having an adjustable dimmer would help. This would be difficult for anyone who had an eye condition to see.
- Matt (10/5): Exceptional - Location is awesome, very cozy.
- Kerry (10/5): Stunning, spacious and cosy home with a lovely fire and quality furnishings. - Stunning property with everything you could need. Beautifully decorated and very clean. Nothing
- Michael (10/5): Wonderful hidden gem - What a great place, very nicely renovated, great location, excellent host and a very comfy place with all the modern facilities. We were there for work and couldn’t stay longer. Will be back with the family for a holiday soon.
- Denise (8/5): Lovely old cottage renovated beautifully -
- Suzette (10/5): lovely stay - No breakfast included. The location is fabulous walk-in distance to everything The trip hazards, all the mats and the steps only because my clients were bigger ladies and one tripped up the rug in the lounge and I had to call an ambulance as I could not assist her to get up
- Judy5 (9/5): Superb -
- Bev (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lina (8/5): Very good -
- Shecky (8/5): Having 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was great, lovely grounds, well maintained. - Great location and would stay here again, beds were comfortable. Pod coffee machine would be nice addition. Some of the bathroom towels were a little old and could do with replacing. Also suggest replacing at least 1 of the fry pans as was not usable. Few improves suggested for the price paid.
- Amanda (10/5): I would definitely book again and would recommend to others. - There was plenty of seating, lots of windows, all the necessities needed, very comfortable. Location was awesome. I think there was a fair bit of dust in the air conditioners, I had dust allergies flair up. That's the only problem but easy to solve, some Telfast from the servo.
- Vicki (9/5): Superb -
- Hannah (10/5): Exceptional - House had all you ask for and was in a great location.
- Anna (10/5): Quaint and comfortable stay. - Fantastic Accommodation: the cottage is very comfortable and adorable.
Facilities are fantastic, and there is everything that you might need for a comfortable stay. -
- Tricia (10/5): A very enjoyable stay in a lovely cottage. - We really enjoyed our stay in this beautifully renovated cottage. It was peaceful and private and Waikerie proved to be a great base from which to explore the Riverland. Booking and check-in was very easy. Communication from the host was very clear.
- Lee-anne (8/5): Home one block from main street - Large home one block from the main street in town. Three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, laundry, lounge, desk area.
- Lisa (9/5): Great experience. Will be back - Very homely clean and comfortable Towels a little rough
- Meredith (7/5): Good - Location close to shops and hotel.
Comfortable bed.
Plenty of appliances and seating in and outside Would have liked tissue box
Hope to see garden a little upgraded
Not sure what all the mats were but n the bathroom
An up to date list of things to see and do around the town eg cliff walk, river frontage. opening times of supermarkets, recommended cafes
- Bhatt (4/5): My stay was far from enjoyable, and I wouldn't consider booking it aga - Location of the property was good. Close to grocery store and restaurants The cottage was quite dusty, especially beneath the furniture and the bed. There were notes placed on various appliances like the wifi modem, washing machine, and fireplace, requesting limited or no use, which was frustrating considering the high cost of the accommodation. While the house had a charming antique style in its furniture and interior, the leather sofa was in poor condition with pieces of leather peeling off, which might appeal to antique enthusiasts but not to me – I personally didn't like it. Additionally, there was no dishwasher, and the pans were all scorched, necessitating the re-washing of plates due to leftover food scraps. Unfortunately, my stay at the Book Keeper's Cottage was far from enjoyable, and I wouldn't consider booking it again.
- Jozinovic (8/5): Jenny was amazing and so easy to communicate with. Very helpfull - Location was great, everything in walking distance, house was very clean, beds comfortable, nice hot water for showers and checknout at 10am was good too The only thing that happened a few times was the power turning off when we used two many items at once for example hair-dryer, curling wond and iron. It was easy to turn back on and we made sure to use one item at a time.
- Simon (9/5): Lovely property, would certainly consider returning if we’re looking for similar property in that location. - Lovely house, nicely presented. Good location Very minor gripe…cleanliness. Thick dust on range hood, tops of cupboards, some cooking utensils had been put away without being cleaned properly.
- Malcolm (8/5): Very enjoyable stay. - House was very nice, open fire was great, lovely ambiance. Carport not good protection.
- Robert (8/5): Very good -
- Warren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rory (9/5): Classic country cottage in the town centre - Lovely house, very comfy, had everything you'd need.
- Bruce (8/5): Very nice place - Very comfortable bed, lovely character to the property There was nothing I didn't like. That said, a useful enhancement would be some ground coffee for the plunger. But no big deal, we weren't expecting a stocked pantry.
- Socksey (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable house with all the amenities you need. Great location. Loved the open fire noting the cold evenings. Nothing
- Judith (9/5): A wonderful place to stay. - Perfect location. Within easy walking distance of everything in town. The cottage had a welcoming atmosphere was very comfortable. The owners responded to my questions straight away. The fireplace was wonderful, but a better set of fire tools would have been nice.
- Penny (10/5): Loved it, would definitely stay again. - Very clean, lots of great amenities, great location for the town and much better than a hotel room.
- Max (9/5): Great location, comfortable and cosy. - Great location and very quiet and comfortable. Would like to see an updated microwave. The current one is very slow and hard to use with the dial timer.
- Josie (10/5): Exceptional -
- 41 (9/5): Superb -
- Anne-marie (10/5): Central location to town, the hotel & supermarket was a 2 minute walk from the house. - Location was perfect, walking distance to shops & hotel. The house had big rooms, we had everything we needed. Nothing
