THE COTTAGES
Your own village in the country
This village in the country side has become a favourite for groups of families and friends as we can accommodate up to 20 persons and you can spread out over 4 cottages and endless space outside to explore and play . Minimum stay is for 3 nights and minimum rate is $1,000 per day during the year and $1,100 per day during long weekends, school holidays and between 20 December and 1 Feb.
Each cottage has a wood stove, supplied with dry firewood, to make you feel warm and cosy on the cold nights.
All water is UV sterilised rain water.
All buildings have complete linen, cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery. They have a microwave in addition to gas hob and oven.
There is no TV reception. Bassett's cottage has a television and dvd player with a selection of DVDs for all ages.
Special discount if you want a longer stay
Except during public and school holidays and between 15 December and the end of January, we can offer you a discount if you want to enjoy a longer stay.
VERY IMPORTANT: There is a total fire ban at our property between the 1st of November and 1st of May. No fires to be lit in the outside firepit between these dates. During the other months, you can use the firepit but you cannot use the wood that has been chopped for the indoor stoves. You can go around the side of the road and collect wood or bring your own. Sometimes we will put branches near the firepit, which you can then also use. If it is cold, you can light the stove inside and use the chopped firewood we have provided. Please be aware that it is a huge job to chop all the firewood, so use it with respect: keep doors closed to keep the heat in, use only the amount needed, etc.
You will have phone reception if you sit by a window or outside and if you are on a telstra based network or on vodaphone. Optus does not appear to provide you with reception .
We follow permaculture and organic principles and our desire is to make a small footprint on this earth and safeguard this little paradise. It is therefore important that you leave behind only that which will convert back into beautiful soil, with the help of worms and composting. Be mindful when shopping and select packaging that can be recycled. We need to preserve this land, so your children and grandchildren will still be able to enjoy it in the future. Therefore, we do not want this land to become a rubbish dump, so please take back what doesn’t belong here.
