About this property

Kookaburra Cottage - 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Cottage with Lake View

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house provides a modern, clean and quiet living space overlooking a lake and abundant birdlife. The front door opens into the open plan kitchen-dining-lounge area. The kitchen has high end appliances, including a fridge, gas cooktop, oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is ample cupboard and countertop space and it is finished off with stone benchtops. All crockery, cutlery, toaster, kettle, pots and pans and coffee machine are provided.

There is a built-in washing machine and a tumble dryer available to the side of the kitchen in the scullery area and a washing line around the side of the house.

Free Telstra ADSL WiFi is available and a television with DTV, Netflix and Stan is in the lounge area. There is a second TV in the master bedroom with DTV.

A wood burning stove in the living area provides more than enough heat for the house and wood and kindling are provided. If you run out, please ask and we will be happy to top you up.

The back wall of the living area is made up of a full width window and sliding door that opens up on to the large deck offering panoramic views of the lake and surrounding valley and trees. A large ceiling fan ensures you remain cool no matter what the weather. The deck leads off to the side to the small garden area. Each bedroom has sliding door access to the deck.

Both bedrooms overlook the lake, the rain forest and macadamia trees and have ceiling fans and their own reverse cycle air conditioning unit. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a large rain shower. Towels and shower amenities are provided. Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed. Bedroom 2 has 1 x double and 1 x single.

An extra single bed with all bedding is available for use in bedroom 2. There is an extra charge of $30.00 if this is required.

A gas BBQ is available for use on the deck.

Guests have their own private access to the house down through the long drive past the main house. The driveway has lights for nighttime access. There is a private car port (for one to two vehicles parked one behind the other) to the front of the house.

Other Details to Note:
* A complimentary breakfast hamper is provided for you In the Cottage, which includes, freshly baked multigrain bread, croissants, local seasonal fruit, yoghurt, muesli, eggs, milk and juice. We also provide a selection of teas and coffee pods.

* In the colder months, enough wood and kindling for the indoor fire is provided for your stay. The wood cradle will be filled and kindling, firelighters and matches left.

* Our property is semi-rural and is not on town water or sewerage. Our water comes from rainwater tanks, and we have a wastewater treatment plant. The house has its own tank, and the water is perfectly safe to drink (but may be discoloured).

* Small pets (less than 10kg) are welcome. A maximum of two pets are allowed.
Pets are not allowed on the beds or furniture.
The property has a designated "wildlife corridor" for our local wallabies, possums, bush turkeys, etc. and as such is not fenced.
Due to the native bird and wildlife on the property, dogs are not allowed outside on their own and preferably not off lead.
We do ask that you not leave your dog at the home alone for long periods of time but understand that sometimes you have to for a couple of hours (e.g. going out to dinner).
Please enquire about larger pets.

* There are free range chickens on the property

Lovely Property and awesome hospitality
Modern and very clean guesthouse. Beds were snuggly and I imagine would be delicious in winter. The breakfast provided was superb. Check in super easy and directions accurate. Spacious with a great deck to listen to the birds. In fact, I have already rebooked to take other guests next year. Looking forward to it.
