We had a fabulous stay at Cider Gum Shack! We were lucky that we had fresh snow and the landscape transformed into a winter wonderland! Our 4yo son was thrilled to see all the wildlife around the property - wallabies, deer, birds, and a wombat strolled past the windows. Everything is as described, clean, very well stocked pantry and pans/utensils for all your cooking needs. Tom provided plenty of wood to keep the fire burning. It is really cold here in winter, but the electric blankets on the beds make the stay comfortable! Highly recommend this great cottage for a highlands getaway! Tom is an excellent host and the communication was fabulous from booking to departure.
