We were instantly very impressed with the wonderful Cottage In The Pines. Birralee and Michael's place is a little slice of heaven, with beautiful views to the mountains and all the creature comforts of home. The kids also really enjoyed helping Michael feed the resident farm animals each afternoon. We only wish that we could have stayed longer. If you are looking for somewhere to stay that is still relatively close to Cradle Mountain (40 mins) this place is the perfect place to base yourself. Just make sure you leave some time to enjoy the property itself otherwise you will be missing out.
