Guest Reviews

• Kirstin (10/5): Restful, quiet and beautiful view - The White House was gorgeous, spacious and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed for the stay and the beds were super comfortable.
• Regina (10/5): - How fabulous!!
• Jo (8/5): Very nice holiday. Had everything we needed. - Location and views Hot water very eratic
• Susan (9/5): Very enjoyable. Great location, lots of wildlife and lovely water views. - The location was great. The house was clean and well appointed. There were nice touches around, like pleasing artwork, scented candles and a generally relaxed space. The rain gutters were overflowing with dried leaves so perhaps gutter guards would be reassuring.
• Michael (1/5): Dreadful We left a day early. - Nothing The desolate area surrounding the house apparent when we drove up a very difficult hard to find and steep driveway made us want to claim a refund and look elsewhere. It was shocking value for the exorbitant non-refundable charge. The house was battered continually by the east wind and the doors banged and the rain leaked in with no way to stop this.
• Geoffrey (10/5): All round excellent cottage.Other owners would do well to visit and see how a house should be presented - Well equipped with quality appliances. Excellent kitchen equipment and pots etc Spotlessly clean and all the furniture and fixtures were comfortable
• Paulette (1/5): - Think carefully before booking. We didn't get check in details until we complained to booking.com by then we had booked elsewhere as we thought it was a scam. I see other people have had the same experience. I didn't take insurance so no refund was made available. BE VERY CAREFULL BOOKING THIS PLACE. YOU MAY GET SCAMMED.
• Sarah (9/5): -
• Tanya (10/5): Lovely, relaxing stay. - Quiet location, beautiful and relaxing house. It was cool when we were there and only one small wall heater in lounge/dining area. Two would have been better.
• Rodney (10/5): -
• Tracy (10/5): Warm, welcoming reset - Warm and welcoming cottage. Plenty of room for 3 adults and everything you need for a co portable stay. Beautiful lake view to enjoy breakfast in the morning, while the afternoon deck is bathed in sunlight as you soak in the bush surroundings and bird life. Short walk to town. Its not a negative, just read your directions carefully. The driveway is accessed via another road, wind your way down and turn right onto Lawrence court. We actually loved that you enter via a quiet court up a beautiful steep driveway that takes you up to a hill to enjoy the views!
• Peter (10/5): -
• Ingrid (10/5): You will love The White Cottage - Simply Supurb Stay - The homely, clean and welcoming feel of the cottage made our stay one of the best holiday stays ever. The cottage was well provisioned, light and airy, with plenty of activities to keep all interested i.e. books, magazines, tv, games, outdoor firepit, views to savour, walks to the water and comfy chairs to relax in. The furnishings and art work were exceptional, with a touch of classy Canadian styling. You will totally enjoy your stay here. Having to leave.
• jodie (9/5): -
• Robert & Elizabeth (8/5): The stay was fine but I will not be returning. - Spacious and quiet I was really annoyed that I had booked this property through Booking.com but a few days before our arrival I received an email from a third party booking agency. Being all too wary of scams I deleted it. I then received a notification that unless I produced my Visa card, driving licence, and signed their agreement I would not be allowed access. This is total blackmail. My agreement and payment was to booking.com. I see other guests have been equally annoyed.
• Deb (10/5): I wish the stay was longer. The place was perfect for us. - The place was great. Nice & light & spacious & had everything we needed. Lovely outlook. Hearing was on when we arrived which we appreciated. The driveway wasn’t too steep as thought it may be. It was well lit up at night.
• John (9/5): Great place to stay - Great views, comfortable house. Good appliances including dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Nothing
• Bertrand (10/5): Great stay and will return - Clean and welcoming All good
• Sharon (9/5): Superb -
• Frank (9/5): Great value for money option. - Clean, comfortable and great location. Nothing really.
• Peejay (10/5): Pleasant stay in a lovely home. - We liked the location, the view, the furnishings and the comfort of the bed. We would happily return.
• Coghlan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (9/5): Superb - Great location and beautiful well appointed home. The television was not working (free to air tv) which was very unfortunate as we wanted to watch the football. Maintenance did come out on the Saturday but could not rectify the problem. Luckily the weather was divine and we sat around the fire pit 🍷
• Tracey (9/5): One needs to stay a couple of days!! - It was a lovely place and we wish we had had more time there. Beware! The driveway is ridiculously steep and we found the best way to get up the hill was to reverse the car up the drive. It was lovely once we got there. There was a snafu with communication and it turned out that we couldn't get in straight away as the booking agent sent the information to the wrong email address... That was very stressful .
• Fiona (8/5): Very good - Sitting on the balcony overlooking the water
• Emma (10/5): Fabulous place. Would return for longer - Beautifully presented Lovely outlook Process of access not communicated well
• Sarah (10/5): Beautiful Views in this light filled renovated property. - Gorgeous property with amazing views and decks on front and back of house. Had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing weekend. Close to town and there was a couple of nice walks from the property, Very nice decor, great shower/bathroom. Good value. My sister thought the bed was a little hard and there was only a duna and no sheet as it was a bit warm. I should have checked but the pictures on the website had twin beds and a queen so I assumed that was what we were getting as 3 singles. The notes stated 2 queen beds so the messaging is inconsistent on the bookings page. Would have been great if they had asked us what we wanted. I will keep in mind for future stays.
• Susan (10/5): A beautiful, comfortable home in great location - Beautifully presented with everything that we needed. Comfortable beds in spacious bedrooms. Well appointed kitchen. Difficult to find initially but we did arrive during heavy rainfall.
• Tonia (9/5): Superb - Quality of all things. Ease to move in and feel at home. Unable to access free TV. Not willing to giggle too many cords not knowing what they were for.
• Jill (9/5): Fabulous stay, great location, quiet and great value for money - Cleanliness and quality of fittings Steep drive up to property might be a challenge for some vehicles
• Rosanne (10/5): Lovely place. Loved the Canadian décoré. Very attractive views - Except for the very tricky steep slippery drive rhe rest of our stay was fine. Oh. We could not figure out how to turn the tv on to normal Chanel’s. We would like to have watched ABC news The drive Bit difficult to walk down. Loose stones. And a TV guide book.
• Megan (9/5): Superb - Cottage style, huge bedrooms, comfy beds, beautiful bathroom, 2 toilets, water views, everything provided, very relaxing. Communication re accessing/finding the property was sent at 4pm. I had stopped on the drive down twice to see if we had received the text...did get one requesting credit card details again...more stress trying to do this!! Sent an email ...no response. Phone said out of office hours. Arrived in Metung after 3pm and couldn't find property following Google. Went to chemist and post office. Finally had directions and was able to access house as it was after 4 and had got the message. A STRESSFUL start as we started to think we'd been scammed.
• Kylie (9/5): Superb -
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (7/5): Good - The steep gravel driveway is unsafe - our front wheel drive car was barely able to get up it in dry conditions. The steep left turn at the top is another issue. If this was resolved the house would be excellent.
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jackie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Klemke (10/5): Metung holiday - Lovely house in a very peaceful location. The views from the deck were a highlight, as was the presentation of the house.
• Suzi (9/5): Peaceful and relaxing stay - Private with a great view
• Imogen (10/5): Fabulous - This was a fantastic place to stay. Nicely decorated, warm, quiet, easy walk to town. Would highly recommend staying here. Nothing
• Dianne (9/5): Superb -
• Alicia (9/5): This accommodation is excellent for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. - Clean, stylishly furnished and decorated. No unnecessary clutter so we can easily relax. Heating worked wonderfully on a cold, wet July week. Kitchen was well equipped. Views from every room were lovely and peaceful. The gravel driveway was well maintained, but the steep hill and tight bend made me a bit nervous.
• Maria (2/5): Very poor - That it was modern and clean No hot water Not all heaters working No light over vanity No proper t.v. reception Not allowed to use enclosed fireplace Access to property is misleading Driveway is steep and slippery when wet
• Dave (8/5): Very good -
• Jodie (9/5): Beautiful, peaceful, thoughtful - a place to unwind, relax, and come together! - The property is really lovely and exceptionally clean, with a great vibe; so peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend staying! Beautiful coastal bush surroundings and beautiful views of the river. The kitchen was well-appointed and there were lots of little extras on hand. The bathroom is spacious and 5 star hotel quality with two toilets (one separate) and high quality washer & dryer too. The bedrooms are huge with beautiful views and the beds were so comfortable it was like sleeping at home. Outside did not disappoint either; able to light a fire, have a bbq, and relax or dine on the deck. The location gave us the best of Metung: views, short drive to the centre, short walk to the foreshore, while being very private. Great service via property management and communication for check-in, which was generous. Thank you for a great stay. We intend to return! We almost want to keep this gem to ourselves :) As stated above, the property was exceptionally clean! Which we loved and appreciated. One small thing, the living area/dining/kitchen area could have done with a light vacuum. If there was a stick vac on hand, we would have used it (in general). The couch was lovely but not comfortable - very short backrests - but that's ultra picky. There was no TV - which would only be a problem for a longer stay, for those 'feel like a movie' nights. But we loved the games available and made good use of them and didn't miss the TV at all. We didn't know however if we should/could use the home's fireplace - a do or don't policy with instructions (including cleaning expectations) would have been appreciated. None of these 'didn't like' comments are not deal breakers in any way. We felt the effort and thoughtfulness in all the details of the property.
