Banksia Cottage on 63 acres private

Shaina LRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We were lucky enough that there was a last minute booking available, my partner and I were camping and in desperate need of a refresh. The cottage was the perfect place to reset while also still feeling as if we were out in the open as we were surrounded by breathtaking scenery and the most adorable animals. We felt very welcomed as Michelle showed us around the home and gave fantastic recommendations for food and activities in the area when we checked in, and she gave us plenty of privacy for our stay. The cottage is stocked with plenty of furnishings and accessories to make it feel like a home away from home, and the fresh milk left for us in the fridge was delicious. Thank you so much for the most relaxing stay and we will definitely book again when we come back to Tassie 😊

Trails End House Maydena

BenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Convenient location for the Maydena Bike Park, the house certainly had everything we needed for a cosy weekend. Beds were comfortable, hosts were very responsive, the fire place was a hit and the kitchen was well equipped. The house itself is a bit of a strange layout without internal stairs and given the wet weather during our stay it was a bit awkward to move between the bedrooms upstairs and the kitchen downstairs, but in drier months it wouldn’t be a problem. Overall we had a great stay, thank you so much!

Belinda's place is a great rural escape that is close to all needed amenities. It was peaceful and full of light, with an unexpected bonus of Netflix! We loved the surrounding wildlife and picturesque surrounds.

We only stayed one night in this charming home but loved it. The maps had a hard time finding the place but Christine gave great directions . It has such a lovely cottage vibe with fun, eclectic decor—and the sheep outside were a bonus! The amenities were great, with coffee, milk, and even a luxurious spa bath. As we were on a hiking road trip, the washer/dryer combo was a lifesaver. We felt really looked after and would definitely stay again!
