"Beautifully restored cottage."

10.0

The Old School house was beautifully restored, and the area in which it was relocated to was peaceful and relaxing. Surrounded by nice paddocks, trees and flowers. The owner left us some freshly baked bread, eggs, margarine and spreads for the tasty bread, and a fresh bottle of milk. And flowers on the dining table. The place was truly amazing.

Nothing, the place was really great.

"The owner was helpful and told us to visit the natural bridge which we hadn't heard of before."

9.0

The bread was lovely there were eggs as well and jam, vegemite butter etc. Loved the fresh flowers. A really cool place.

There was a very slight smell of mustiness. That is my only complaint.
