Negatives
- fridge not working in the main house (there was a second fridge downstairs, but was ranther annoying)
- was only asked two days before our arrival that I needed to transfer a $1000 bond. I was happy to pay this, athough more notice would have been appreciated
- we only wanted to stay in the main house and cabin (not the cottage). We booked and the owner confirmed our booking. Days later, the owner then told us we couldn't stay there on a weekend unless we booked the entire property (you can on weekdays). This is not mentioned on the webiste. After some discussion, thankfully the owner then allowed us to maintain our weekend booking
- only a very tiny dishwasher for a house that sleeps such a large amount of people. Be prepared for lots of hand washing if a large group of people are staying
- we were told enough firewood would be supplied for two nights stay. It was only enough for one (being a cold winter's night). We ended up getting more ourselves. However, extra is provided at an additional charge.
- there is no fireplace guard. Dangerous if toddlers are staying at the property.
Other than the few things listed above, we had a fabulous three-night stay and would definitely recommend and return to this lovely property.
