Best of both worlds
If you are looking for a lovely, modern cottage that is super clean and warm, with a fully-equipped kitchen, comfy beds and lots of outdoor space, in a beautiful setting, then you will find it at Oka Cottage. Elspeth and Don are friendly and relaxed, and perfect hosts. This is a great base for exploring the local region.. and our pooch loved the huge lawn to race around on and play!

Brilliant location, amazing property
My husband and me plus our dog spent 4 nights at Oka Cottage. The hosts were lovely, very friendly but not imposing. The cottage is lovely and there is a great area for dogs to run and play. Our dog loved it. The area is great. All in all a great, relaxing trip. Would definitely stay again.

5 Star Home away from Home!
I can't say enough about how wonderful this property is. We didn't want to leave and we most definitely will be back! Don and Elspeth the owners are so lovely and obliging. The cottage is simply stunning with lots of lovely touches for example fresh flowers, afternoon tea, beautiful linen, and the grounds are beautiful, we took our two dogs and they had a wonderful time. Also we were allowed to have a swim in their pool which was lovely. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Nearby there was beautiful bush walks that the dogs loved and the nearby town of Wakefield has a brillant four square not to mention the most amazing bakery!

A lovely spot
It is set up to ensure you have a lovely break away. A spacious separate home beautifully laid out and well equipped - right down to afternoon tea being provided! Loved the serenity and how we could take our dogs for a walk and not encounter any danger - well off the roads. Idyllic surroundings!

Lovely location
Was a really lovely 2 bedroom guest house in a beautiful location up the hill with fantastic views when going for walks. Has a great relaxing country feel. The pool was out in front of the main house rather than the guest house so we were a little bit shy to use it but it looked really nice. We really enjoyed the stay thanks very much Dave
