We stayed in Nanking cottage (cottages are named after varieties of chestnut trees) which has a Japanese themed decor - using authentic furniture, wall hangings, paintings, Japanese garden and curios - a real delight in itself. The cottage is situated distant from the other cottages, quite separate, so no disturbances. The provisions for breakfast were excellent and plentiful - cereals, milk, yogurt, eggs, bacon, bread, butter, jam, juices, sauce and more... all you could need. We had cooked breakfasts and used the BBQ as well. There is no standard cook-top but we managed easily with the electric fry-pan and microwave. The owners, Rachel and Frank were friendly and helpful and flexible with times. We stayed in late March and the chestnuts were starting to fall - if you want to get some remember to bring secateurs and thick leather gloves - the fruit is too hard to handle otherwise. Wi-Fi and TV with Netflix worked perfectly. Our phones on Telstra worked well but other carriers may be a problem. Quite simply this was one of the nicest cottage style accommodations we have ever stayed in - we look forward to visiting again in winter to enjoy the cooler seasons and to use the open fire!
