Iris Cottage is a glorious retreat from the hustle and bustle, perfect for a family as the very large single bedroom has a queen bed and single bunk beds. The open plan kitchen-living-dining area opens onto a wide verandah and there's a covered gazebo area next to the cottage, all set among grassed paddocks, well-kept gardens, and surrounding Eucalypt plantations. Wallabies and roos graze the grass around the cottage by evenings, and we had only to walk a couple of hundred metres down the road to encounter a koala sitting up in a tree overhanging the road. Gaye's thoughtful touches, such as the delicious lemon-iced cupcakes, were really appreciated.
