Peppercorn Cottage

Julie and I had a fabulous stay. The Cottage is decorated beautifully, and the little touches put in by Barry and Angela were much appreciated. The setting is quiet and tranquil, the kangaroos and variety of bird species allows you to get back in touch with nature. Just the sort of holiday we were looking for. I would recommend Peppercorn Cottage to anyone looking for a quiet getaway. Regards Robert Large

A wonderful escape from the world

I had such a wonderful time in the cabin for three days and nights all by my self. The location is just magical. It was so quiet, just the sound of the wind through the trees, and being surrounded by nature and wildlife was so healing for my body mind and soul. I will be visiting regularly and can't recommend highly enough. Thanks.

Great retreat.

This property is a secret paradise. It is meticulously presented and has everything one could wish for. The natural aspect lends one to just sit outside and watch and listen for hours on end to the birds, the kangaroos and the breeze blowing through the trees. Thankyou Barry for your efforts in setting this place up.

A little bit of magic

This was the most magical place to stay. Extremely beautiful and peaceful with lots of pretty birds and kangaroos dropping by. I was there for 3 days and only left once to pick up supplies. Highly recommend as a place to chillout in. ❤❤❤

Secluded location, beautiful area

A great place for a real retreat, a secluded location in a beautiful area, with abundant wildlife in the grounds. Mobile signal strength is excellent, although there is no WiFi. Entrance path is unsuitable for people with mobility issues. We really enjoyed our stay, despite this.

Paradise

Peppercorn Cottage has an "other-worldliness". I loved my stay here! It was the perfect place to unplug, unwind, meditate, relax, and enjoy nature. Barry was more than accommodating, and the cottage was comfortable, warm, and had everything I needed. It is a steep walk down the driveway however, the hosts have provided a cart to help you with your gear. I loved the running creek nearby and listening to the sounds of the frogs. I will be back regularly to retreat from the World. Thank you for sharing such a special place.
