We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The accommodation was clean and thoughtfully kitted out (excuse the pun) with everything you may need. The gardens are beautiful and we loved sitting outside and admiring the bird life. It was a wonderful base for exploring the SA mid-Murray region. Thank you to our host who made it easy to check-in/out.

Oh so quiet and relaxing

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, we could view the stars from the property and it was very quiet and relaxing. The kitchen was extremely well stocked and a joy to make meals in. Shower was good, tv and wifi were a bonus. The bed in the main room was really comfortable and the blackout curtains much appreciated for our vacation sleep-in. Thank you Toddy! :)
