This cottage is equipped with everything that you should need to make your stay a magical one. Prepare your meals in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy them seated in the windowed meals area overlooking rose gardens. Indulge in a glass of wine in front of the fire.

Absolutely beautiful
What a location! So tranquil with frogs and water birds. The cottage was beautiful though not the one listed on the site. Very comfortable bed and a wonderful shower. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Beautiful getaway
I loved this property and the location. It was a nice drive from Apollo Bay. It was quiet and peaceful. The lake with all the ducks was great to watch from the porch.
