Relaxing stay amongst nature
The property was unique, clean and comfortable. It was relaxing and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay at the house.
A tip:
It will be good to have some basic necessities supplied at least to start with. There was coffee, tea bags and sugar. Add salt and a little start up carton of maybe long life milk. Also a small shampoo and body wash (one of the tine ones) We do these respite stay every month and always have a start up supply and hence we did not have these and had to go shopping which is difficult if we arrive late.
Having said that, it was a good experience
Thanks for sharing your place.

Observatory
We enjoyed our stay at the Observatory cottage, it was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the Observatory tour and due to the weather we were not able to view the stars but the virtual tour was great and they spent the time talking and answering questions

A perfect spot for a summer break
We had a much needed family break here. The house ideal for us - two parents and two high energy small boys - with a gorgeous view of Leura. Kitchen set up with everything we needed. Our tour of the observatory was magical and we recommend it. A small maintenance problem arose when we arrive and was resolved amazingly quickly. Thank you! We’ll be back :-)
