The platypus cottage is a great place to stay. Very cosy, very homely, well equipped and it’s kept clean. We stayed here with our 4month old baby and it was comfortable and private. The cottage is on a farm, it’s a quiet and calm place with lake view from kitchen and nature view all around. Paula and Nigel are very kind people and attentive hosts, happy to help you regarding any question that arises. A very good place for relaxing and being close to nature. There is a super cute dog on the estate, you can spot wildlife even from your kitchen window and of course spotting the platypus in the pond is a most unique experience.
Make sure to bring food with yourselves as there is no shop nearby and keep in mind that the wifi connection is weak.
Paula’s place is 10km from Mt Field National Park, it’s a good base for exploring the park or the surrounding countryside. I highly recommend staying here.
