Reviews/Testimonials about Accommodation
Wow. This is a very special place. Stunning vista of the bushland, the sounds of the creek gurgling in the small gorge just 30 metres from your front door and deck, the firepit (bring some wood)...just perfect. The outdoor bath set in the bushland is brilliant. Having a steaming hot bath in the forest early in the morning when the outside temperature was 5 degrees was amazing. There is lots of wildlife - kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, birdlife. We had wombats visit us and we think possums may have stolen our soap! The studio/tiny house is beautifully decorated. The bed is comfortable and was dressed with flannelette sheets and blankets plus a light doona. In my view way, way better than just a doona and cotton sheets particularly in winter. There was good ground coffee and milk in the fridge - which was great given we forgot to bring both(!) - and a cafetière. The host, Eloise, amongst other healing modalities is a qualified Kahuna Massage Therapist (OMG could this place be any better???). We each had a 90 minute treatment with her. My wife and I have both historically trained and worked as remedial massage therapists so we can be fussy and critical, but Eloise provided one of (if not the) most relaxing rejuvenating healing massages we have ever had incorporating kahuna, aromatherapy, hot stones and release/let go techniques from her other healing modalities. Extraordinary. Around Kangaroo Valley the pub grub at the Friendly Inn is excellent as is brunch at the "General Store" cafe. We did two amazing walks - one into a hidden creek grotto/gorge that started at the Pioneer Museum. The other along the banks and through the rainforest of upper Kangaroo River - it was like a patch of West Tasmanian wilderness was transported to the Shoalhaven! All in a stunning and relaxing place to stay.

Hi Eloise and Stephen. We had a wonderful time at this beautiful stay. Everything was perfect, be it house, surroundings and especially waking up with kangaroos next to our bedroom doors. The inside fire kept us all warm the whole time and there was sufficient timber and logs, thank you. We tried our best at keeping the place the same as we found it, in order to do that I became a "yelling aunt" towards my friends...lol. We would love to come back again. Thank you so much.

This wonderful house is definitely the place to stay with a group. The house is extremely comfortable with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Make sure you sit out on the veranda at dusk to watch the kangaroos and birds and enjoy the surrounding. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated along with the bathrooms. Cooking is a breeze in their well equipped kitchen. Molly, the property cat, is very friendly and greets you when you arrive.
It’s probably one of the best Airbnb properties I have stayed in.

We had a wonderful time staying in the studio eco cabin, after a massive week at work for both of us, it was exactly what we needed to unwind and recharge our batteries! We left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Would definitely recommend this beautiful little getaway for anyone looking for something a bit different to get away from the hustle and bustle

Absolutely loved my stay! The serenity, no phone reception and outdoor shower under the stars at night were amazing!! Eloise was a great host and had a great eye for detail leaving me wanting to come back again. And the amazing Combination massage was the perfect start to my weekend. Thanks Eloise!
