We finally received check in information from Murray at 4:30pm - 1.5 hours after check in time. The late message from Murray told us to byo firewood, which would've been nice to know in advance, as by the time we arrived all of the local shops were closed, and it was a freezing night.
Check in ended up being very straight forward, as there was no key or code needed. The downside to this is that we didn't feel completely safe as the door didn't lock and could've been opened by anyone while we slept.
The cabin itself was homey and relatively clean, but nothing special. The highlight was the large bath which was lovely and warm and comfortably fit the 3 of us. We loved staying in sustainable accommodation but felt that some extra measures such as covering windows to keep heat in would go a long way. I would especially suggest the inclusion of blinds in the bedroom to block the morning sun.
The driveway is very difficult and dangerous to navigate, especially after rain. Both passengers had to exit and walk, which would be an issue for any guests with mobility problems. The car got bogged on both the way up and down despite sticking to Murray's instructions on how to navigate it.
House rules included having to empty the toilet and strip our own bedding, which seemed unreasonable considering the $80 cleaning fee included in the price.
There is no reception or wifi which was fine for us, but something you may want to consider before staying here.
Overall we felt that the stay at Murray's was not worth the cost, and had we known about all of the above we would have seeked alternative accommodation.
