The cottage was well equipped with all we needed. Lots of old time memorabilia to check out. Only criticisms would be the uncomfortable lounge/divan and no wifi available.

Great Weekend in Texas Qld
We had a very enjoyable stay. Everything is in order just as described. Kindling and timber for the fire was supplied. The authentic cottage was a wonderful experience again. This is the 4th time we have visited over the last 10 years. And we will again.

My family lives in Texas, and we have found a home away from home. 'The Cottage' gave us the privacy we needed but allowed family and friends to visit. Made our trip a great one.

Heritage accommodation, comfortable and friendly
A genuine original with an architecture to go with it - smallish accommodation rooms, with a separate kitchen and outhouse, all joined up by a verandah. We arrived on a hot day to find the air con unit in the bedroom already running to make things cool. As the evening air chilled we were able to relax on the latticed-in side verandah with our miniature Poodle. The cottage is in the main street, which is neat and pretty. Shopping and services are short walk away.
