My partner and I had a very pleasant stay, which was very quiet and relaxing. It was great to get away from the city and our lives for a few days and just enjoy the serenity. The property, the view and the surrounding area were stunning. Many thanks for the hospitality!

We loved our stay. We booked two nights as we had a planned visit to Monarto Safari Park on day two and wanted to stay somewhere close by. It was very relaxing especially sitting on the deck overlooking the valley enjoying the wildlife and watching sunset. A great deal of thought has gone into making the cottage very comfortable and cozy. The breakfast was generous and delicious, including the home-made jam. The cottage is a real country gem, and we will certainly be back to enjoy and soak up the country atmosphere. Thank you Elisa and Richard.

We loved our stay at sleepy hollow. It was quiet and relaxing. The only thing that could’ve improved our stay is a slightly larger fridge. It was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend the stay to our friends.

Beautiful, peaceful character filled cottage
I had a wonderful, relaxing weekend in Elisa's cottage. The location is stunning and so private. Kangaroos grazed around the verandah while i had my morning coffee. The cottage is cosy and very comfortable. Elisa has thought of everything you could need for some peaceful downtime. Highly recommended!
