For the cost per night, I was expecting a slightly more comfortable stay

5.0

The surroundings were beautiful, quiet and relaxing.

The furniture and other amenities were very outdated and basic.

Beautiful remote location but cottage is overpriced and provisions are extremely basic.

5.0

Beautiful location, quiet and remote with lots of wildlife.

Cottage is fine but basic. But the provisions and facilities were not generous. Plunger present but no coffee supplied. One match left in box when both stove lighters were dead. Not enough toilet paper. No body wash in shower. Over-priced for what it is.

kangury

the price was very high for this object. It should not cost more than $ 100. Backpackers level. Access on grass over 300 m. It was dry but in the rain it would be more difficult. No toaster, electric kettle, no AIR CONDITIONING! Heating fireplace but it did not work. On warm days it gets very hot and it is hard to bear we had one hot day. No free wifi. TV 3 channels small screen. Everything on the camping standard for only $ 170 very expensive for this! We were disapointed.

A Bushland Escape

8.0

We chose the premises mainly for its location. Keep in mind that the premises are a holiday house/shack and not a hotel/motel. The premises truly are a "retreat" or what could be called an "escape" - they are on a bushland property at a semi-remote site some 20 minutes drive from the town of Portland in Victoria which is the nearest source for shopping and supplies. One attraction is that the premises are a small acreage "farm" which has over 40 resident kangaroos - but which are very timid and wary of any close contact.

One needs to keep in mind that staying there means a need for economical thinking - the holiday house is supplied by bottled gas and it's electricity is from solar panels and a 5 day storage battery. The house is suitable for only a single person or a couple - one double bed, small refrigerator and small TV.
