The house is perfect. Had everything we needed and the host provide detailed information on how to get there as well as how to get in to the house. There was provision for breakfast for a few days. The kitchen had very thing we needed. The bed was lovely and comfortable and the towels were high class. There was plenty of wood for the inside fire and when not in use the electric heater kept the house nice and cosy. Easy 10 minutes walking distance to town and shops and a 15 minute walk to the local pub. Lovely views from the front veranda and very comfortable chairs to sit and watch the world go by. Will be coming back very soon . Thank you for a great week.

Pleasant stay.

We two couples had a nice relaxing stay at Ada Cottage for 2 nights in October celebrating a 50th Wedding Anniversary. The cottage was nice, warm and clean. The beds we found very comfortable and we woke up relaxed for travelling and walking around Warburton. Thank you Kathy for the nice accommodation.

Overall enjoyed the place. Quiet , homely feel, and close to everything in Warburton and lovely outlook . Housekeeping was a bit below par, needed a thorough vacuum and had unfinished laundry but we still had a great stay and would definitely go back.

This cottage was the perfect little getaway for my family of four. With a great location, everything within walking distance and once you get the fire going you melt into relaxation with a glass of wine. You don’t even need to source the firewood as it’s all supplied. The breakfast was amazing. Would definitely recommend

The house was lovely, perched up on the hill with views down towards the sporting fields and the hills beyond. We enjoyed the front verandah to sit and relax as it was raining most of our 2 days. The house was warm and nicely decorated with comfortable beds. 2 bathrooms, one with a bath. Would recommend

Short stay in Warburton

Property was clean and had all you need for a pleasant weekend away. Loved the fireplace and outdoor fire pit. So much space for 2 couples and having the two bathrooms a bonus. However perhaps a shower curtain in first bathroom may help avoid water everywhere. Kitchen spacious and well equipped. Thank you

Lovely place for a quiet break

We stayed for 11 days at Ada Cottage and loved every minute of it. The house was just as shown and had everything that we expected. We especially loved the little touches - a stocked fridge, wine, reading material and especially good amenities. We loved that we had no need to worry about cleaning materials, bedroom and bathroom linen and supplies and little things like pegs for washing etc. A really well provisioned place. It is also wonderfully central - we could walk to anywhere in Warburton. BTW, try the Alpine Hotel, such a beautiful setting. Our thanks to Kathy, a great host. As a friend who doesn't say much would say - "Very good, 5 stars".

Charming house on a hill

We had such a lovely long weekend at the cottage. Perfect size for our family (2 adults, 2 kids). The kids loved the huge bath tub (and bubble bath provided) and the vegemite/jam sachets! They also loved relaxing on the balcony and listening to the kookaburras. We walked everywhere - to the playground, the IGA/food shops and the river walk too. Also recommend Alpine hotel for really good dinner (and kids menu/games). We are hoping to come back again! Thanks for having us. :)
