The Ariel cottage at Blackwood Park Cottage is beautiful. The hot tub sunken into the back deck is lovely day or night with the view across the paddocks and dam. The electric blankets on the bed was a much needed addition in the cold weather of winter. Shane was very helpful, bringing more firewood when requested, an additional pillow for me, and offering plant based milk options with the breakfast provisions upon request. Great little getaway in the country away from hustle and bustle. A nice relaxing spot with plenty of walks etc. nearby. A couple of minor downsides was the cottage fire wasn’t pre-lit and it took a good day of the fire going continuously to heat up the cottage completely (there was an oil heater but it barely took the chill off), the concrete floor in the bathroom is freezing underfoot in winter - so bring your slippers, and a few extra touches like ice trays in the freezer (we had to buy a bag of ice at a nearby shop) and a selection of pillows in the bedroom would really top this place off.
