Surroundings Compact, had most things we needed Hot tub

When we arrived the aircon heater was on upstairs to make it warm, but the living area on the lower floor was FREEZING. Suggest in Winter that the fireplace be switched on for a couple of hours prior to checkin, then the whole house will be warmed up. (We switched the aircon heating off and left the fire on overnight and it was toasty all night. (Gas is also cheaper than electricity!)) We were a bit disappointed with breakfast for the price of the accommodation - cereal, juice, eggs and toast felt a bit lacking. Suggest adding some small pots of yoghurt, seasonal fruit, and maybe some deli cuts/bacon. The bed creaked a lot.

Stayed in the ironbark cottage. Great amenities. Eggs, milk, bacon, etc was provided which was very thoughtful and delicious ! The cottage was so cozy and even though its small, it felt so spacious !! Bed was comfy and dinner table is also extendable ! Both me & my boyfriend did not want to leave.

The only downside about the cottage is the wifi/data connection. Inisde the cottage is poor signal but able to use 4g/5g outside. Had to place phone on the window sill and hotspot to other devices to watch things like youtube and netflix.

The whole experience was absolutely perfect! Peaceful, Romantic and Serene and surrounded by nature. We had the most wonderful 10th Wedding Anniversary weekend. Absolutely magical. My husband and I fell in love with the whole place and cannot wait to come back! Weve been discussing how we can plan to make this a yearly experience for us! Special mention to the gorgeous family of Chrimson Rosellas that came to visit frequently.

Location, charm, modern bathroom facilities.

The TV kept having a headphone setting instruction flash up on the screen every minute or so. Couldn’t fix it, very annoying. possible fault with TV? Front door lock a bit clumsy with the skeleton key style lock. Was sometimes fumbling around for a while trying to lock/unlock the door. Not a huge issue, just giving constructive criticism. The spa seemed to take a long time to fill as water pressure was low in that part of the house. Took over 40min to fill. Otherwise, a lovely time was had & enjoyed the stay very much. Thankyou.

Beautiful cosy room. The room could be opened up to let in the breezes during the heat of the day & the heater kept up with the colder nights. We really enjoyed sunset from the balcony. Lovely breakfast supplies provided. Special mention for the local Indian Takeaway - Indian by Nature. It was the absolute best Indian food we have both ever had the pleasure to taste. Would be prepared to drive up the mountain just for this! All in all it was a very relaxing stay & we will be back again ASAP.

Privacy, cleanliness, really nicely decorated with lovely attention to detail - pictures, soft toys, ornaments, lamps, comfy bed - loved the four-poster feel and all-round mossie net, great spa-bath for 2, thoughtful breakfast hamper, good plumbed-in barbie on the deck, nice gardens to relax in. Bird feed provided and a hanging feeder on the deck - we had rosellas and cockatoos join us for dinner and breakfast. Felt loved and looked-after and we really enjoyed our stay.

Such a wonderful cottage with fantastic ambience and fitted out with everything you could possibly want. The big spa bath, the cosy gas log fire, the well appointed kitchen and the comfy bed. Everything was perfect and the location is great too with plenty of walking options from the cottage.

The old vintage & cottagey feel of the unit. The breakfast was great. Staff was very helpful & attentive. We were very appreciative of the staff who came in the rain to help us with one of the blinds which got stucked. We had enjoyed our 3 nights stay in Ironbark cottage very much.

All is good.

We stayed at Ironbark Cottage and had a magical time. The owners were wonderful with communication and vegan provisions and the space exceeded our expectations (the pictures don't do it justice). It was immaculately clean, warm, with quality mod cons and it was tastefully furnished with unique vintage pieces including an antique bed with lace canopy which was super comfortable. We loved the way the open plan space was organised which meant we could enjoy all the features together and we loved the generous outdoor gardens and wrap around decking giving us a constant view of the forest whilst also affording privacy. The view from the marble spa was amazing in rain, mist or sunshine, and we enjoyed the little touches like bathtime candles and birdseed to feed the visiting rosellas. The entertainment unit was also above expectations with ample options for listening and viewing but it couldn't beat the show nature put on from our high altitude vantage point. Watching the brilliant red-and-purple sunset from the porch as the city below lit up like a jewel was absolutely unforgettable! Many thanks to our hosts. We highly recommend this experience to any future visitors.

Location was awesome with great views. Room looked great and was nice and clean, the heating made it comfortable considering the cold weather.

The shower needs a screen, water pours all over the bathroom floor. Other than that maybe prune a few trees that’s impeding views.
