This is the perfect private, country-styled cottage tucked down behind the family house with views to die for! We heard no noise from the host family but they were delightful when we bumped into them occasionally in the driveway. The start of the amazing Cataract Gorge walk is 5 mins WALK away. Glorious daily activity to do the loop walk to the scenic chairlift and suspension bridge. The very centre of town with all the restaurants and pubs is only a 5 min drive. But there are some within easier walking distance too and we enjoyed the walk home some nights. The kitchen has everything you need and is funky. Some thoughtful fresh produce on the island bench on arrival was lovely as was the vase of fresh greenery. The river and city view is spectacular from the kitchen, lounge and dining room. If you have work to do the dining table is large and perfectly positioned with plenty of power points near one wall for charging laptops etc. The deck and living areas were drenched with cosy sun during our April stay. Rachel has recommendations for places to eat and wineries to visit and her suggestions were spot on. Hopefully you will enjoy Ponrabbel as much as we enjoyed our 9 nights.
