Cottage holiday rentals in Australasia

Another beautiful stay at Hemingways, always so good for the soul! Thank you Fifi for all the thoughtful touches, generous provisions and beautiful surroundings. We absolutely can't stop coming back so we will see you again soon!

Had a wonderful few days at the headmasters cottage. Beautiful home that was warm and cosy with everything you need for a relaxing few days!! Some lovely touches that made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. Weather wasn’t on our side so we weren’t able to take advantage of the hot tub this time. Would highly recommend Linda’s home, great host who communicated really we throughout our stay.

My partner and I absolutely loved this stay, private from the other property and such a great view, Justin was extremely helpful and the property was perfect. Would 100% stay here again !

loved "The Studio" Absolutely everything we needed. warm and cosy and spa upstairs in the bedroom was icing on the cake. we would love to recommend it with lots of stars.

Amazing stay - The place has everything you could ask for. Will be recommending to people i know personally!

A very cosy cabin in quiet surroundings! Full kitchen with lots of supplies! The Breakfast supplies are amazing as was the port and chocolates! Plenty of wood for the log fire. Electric blankets on the beds to keep you warm in the winter chill! Very close to town. A lovely stay.

Probably the most picturesque stay we have ever had! A must stay if you are heading to the blue mountains! I adored watching the wild kangaroos hopping around the valley! Emma is very kind, the property is so clean and just fantastic. The road to the property is a little bumpy but even our Kia picanto managed it!

As always, the old shack delivered exactly what we needed. Peace, quiet, relaxing, absolutely beautiful surroundings. We cannot recommend this place enough...we've been 3 times now. Judith is lovely! Always helpful and a master at starting that wood fired spa up for us in advance. We will be back again next year!

We had a wonderful two nights at the cottage, Natalie’s instructions are very clear and concise in checking in. At first you feel like you’re in a cottage and surroundings that could be at least over 100yo but beautifully presented, until you read the story in the cottage info book and realise it’s only around 20yo and that a lot of the material is from famous buildings and locations across not only Australia but the world. Great kitchen, very well appointed, heated floors in the bathrooms, great coffee machine, fire place and bbq. Would stay there again in a heart beat. Thanks Natalie

Beautiful spot for a week’s getaway. Quiet, removed and in a beautiful landscape. Place is well equipped with everything you need. Shower is amazing. Need a car to get everywhere including shops though.

Such a beautiful location, it was so peaceful. The place was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. Gina was also very responsive, if we needed any questions answered Definetly recommend the place, AMAZING views

Cove Cottage was such a a cosy place to stay in a stunning location. The views were amazing and I loved curling up in front of the fire in the evenings. Rebecca provided lots of great local recommendations and the cottage had everything I needed for a peaceful few days amongst the trees. The spa with a view was a particular highlight.

Perfect place to escape the rat race. Thank you Gary your place is incredible

Sea House is such a magical place from the gardens to the views, beach access and the comfort of the house made our stay really wonderful and the balm we needed. Liz was gave great information before we arrived and was really responsive. Can’t wait to get back.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The villa is incredible, so nice to be mostly outdoors. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we felt right at home. It was great to have a full kitchen because we stayed for two weeks so it was useful not to rely solely on restaurants for every meal/snack. I would definitely book here again over other places in the area because of having access to a kitchen. Comfy bed, yoga mats provided for post-surf stretching, hammock, mosquito nets and repellent and good aircon for nights when it was too hot to have the doors open. Location is great, right on the entry to the surf break and such a good view from the balcony. Easy access also to cross the river at low tide and walk along the long stretch of beach to the north. Kadek and all the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive and helpful. Kadek went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at home! We will miss you!

I loved my stay at this beautiful studio. It felt relaxing and calm. The views were beautiful as were the gardens that Nicola has created on the property. I highly recommend a stay here.

What a beautiful place. The pictures don’t do it justice. Impeccably clean, beautifully renovated Australians home by someone with an eye for both design and detail. Sun lit and cozy. We enjoyed seeing cows from the back of the home. Comfy beds with beautiful linens. Every creature comfort to make your stay enjoyable. The town of Loch is so cute. We enjoyed the Olive at Loch for food and wished we had time to do other sightseeing and cafes. Thanks for a great stay.

Emily's place was simply stunning and everything we could have wanted for a girls weekend away. Lots of thoughtful touches which made it even more special. Highly recommend a stay here, we'll be back.

My girlfriend and I spent our 2 years there and had the nicest weekend. The cottage was so private and the nature surrounding it was beautiful, i particularly loved the birds. Pascal was incredibly helpful and gave loads of suggestions. We loved Spencer, the nearby town, and the highlight was renting a boat and cruising around the Hawkesbury. Would recommend to anyone who needs a break from the hustle and bustle

Candice’s place was perfect. It was well located, beautiful garden, light filled, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed. We stayed during a particularly cold week but were warm and cosy. We felt very welcome, with the heating on, the fire set, and generous breakfast provisions left for us. Thanks Candice

Absolutely gorgeous location and the place was just perfect. Nicely laid out, everything we could wish for and a comfy bed. The view was just stunning and we were fortunate enough to have a lovely misty morning the last day and it was just magical sitting watching the landscape change. We were there in June and the place stays beautifully warm once the fire gets going, a big plus for a couple of Queenslanders! Would be very happy to stay here again!

We stayed at Caitlin & Michael’s cabin for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The space was comfortable and well laid out, with a cosy bedroom, large luxurious bathroom, and a kitchen and living area that felt like home. The wood fire was a real highlight and we appreciated the generous supply of firewood, kindling, and matches. Their local food recommendations were incredible—we followed every one and had no regrets. We also enjoyed cooking in the well-equipped kitchen and using the BBQ. The peaceful location was stunning, with no nearby noise and beautiful local wildlife all around. Whether it was sunny or rainy, the cabin was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We’re already planning to return. Thank you, Caitlin & Michael, for an unforgettable stay!

Loved the themed cottage and it history. Amazing thought and detail of a sea captain’s residence . Great position in Hobart city walked to most attractions. Very comfortable.

Lovely cottage, set in spectacular gardens - with lake, dingy & ducks ! We just missed the full bloom of autumn leaves by a week, but still beautiful. As expected for June, it was a tad cold while we were there, but we certainly didn't lack for heating options, our favourite being the pot belly wood heater. Patty was a charming host who even took the time to bake us some orange syrup cakes - delicious ! All less than 20mins drive from all the shops & restaurants at Bowral for those who crave a bit more action. We'd love to come back.
