Peaceful and relaxing and very comfortable and quirky log cabin retreat but close to town.

A lovely welcome from Paul the Host. We had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Lovely and peaceful surroundings in the forest but not too far out of town. We loved the quirky features such as a watering can for a shower head, rocking chair on the balcony and the odd feathered arrows in the eaves.

A wonderful place for a family retreat.

A lovely retreat amongst the pine trees. Hosts were super kind and responsive. Very accomodating with our 2 month old. The space is comfortable and has all relevant facilities. Comfortable beds and great shower.

Would definitely love to stay again! Hosts were so amazing and went above and beyond!

Beautiful setting, especially at night, the sunset was magical. Loft was amazing with so many special features. Main bed was super comfy and gas fire warmed the whole loft perfectly. Coffee machine was an unexpected bonus with really good coffee provided. Hosts offered us the use of their bbq and outside tables when we had family join us for dinner, they also gave great advise on activities and we're generous with providing any help needed.

Perfect! We’ll be back.

What a find! Such a unique, beautiful place, like something from a storybook. The loft is spacious and warm and has everything you need for a getaway. We appreciated the great coffee machine, quality linen, complimentary toiletries and tea/coffee/milk and granola. Lovely little touches. The hosts, Paul and Catherine, are welcoming and generous. At night the place lights up with little fairy lights and it’s simply magic.

Magical is the right word - a very special place to spend a weekend. Will be back.

Gorgeous loft apartment, beautifully furnished. Perfect for small group or family. Great location surrounded by trees, very short distance from Clyde / Alexandra for exploring the area. Hosts were super friendly and made sure everything was set for a fabulous weekend.

A magical holiday

Wonderful location. Nice and quiet but near to Alex is you want to go into a town. Hosts were amazing, very welcoming. We were there on Christmas day and were gifted wine and chocolates, what a lovely thoughtful gesture. A perfect holiday, the fairy lights at night in the garden are a beautiful sight.
