  • "Curt and Andrea really make this one of the simplest and most convenient experiences to organize. I like that to start, and as we arrived it was very welcoming and everything had the right vibe. Vibe is important, and it was for sure what was labelled on the tin! Beds are comfy, outdoor area nice for a board game session and a BBQ dinner. BBQ is top shelf (and by jingies it will cook FAST) The fire pit area got a LOT of use, we loved that thing! The running water feature and the gentle lighting while sitting by the fire is good. Firewood provided, and all the little things you might miss (insect repellent etc) was there. It has been well thought out for all those little "gotchas" And super clean. Do yourself a favour and consider this experience for your next stay! Location has got you all set with rainforest to the west and theme parks and gold coast to the east. Just do it ok?! :)"

It was the perfect escape from the city with a natural vibe but also providing modern comfort and close access to shops and food. The hosts where lovely and very accommodating even helping me with an early check in to set up a surprise for my partners birthday. We had a great time thank you very much, 10/10 stay and we will definitely be back!!!"

  • "Have loved every minute of our stay here! Beauty everywhere I look. Definitely has the wow factor upon arrival and sitting by the creek with my coffee was a highlight. Was also so convenient for visits to the local winery, distillery + shops, but sitting on the couch watching the fire (with a local wine) was an even better way to unwind. Also loved the birdlife + saw a few cockatoos each day. Thank you for your vision for Cockatoo Cottage + opening up your beautiful property for such a memorable stay. Will be back!!"

  • "This is the best bnb ever!! Andrea and fam have thought of everything. The place is so cosy and warm and welcoming. Sitting down by the creek and building rock statues waiting for a platypus was our favourite part. Thank you for your hospitality, care and thoughtfulness in building such a special jungle home. We can't wait to be back. Best birthday weekend ever!"
