Guest Reviews

"The cottage feels like a home away from home. The breakfast provisions were generous. And of course there's the home made bread! A great place to stay with a dog."

"Keng was a lovely host. This is nice place to stay if you are looking for something more personal than normal hotel/motel accommodation. Only 20 minutes from city, pretty rooms, good size kitchen and a lovely fire. Everything you need for a nice break if visiting canberra

"The tranquility at the property, and the vast spaces for our dog to run and explore were great. The cottage itself was cosy and well-equipped, and even (nice) quirky with its Christmas theme/decor. The homemade loaf of bread was lovely."

"Lovely property where we could bring our dog also. Had a secure yard where we could leave her during the day and not worry."

"Walk round the property, beautiful location, very amiable but discreet host, range of bird life. "
Guest rating: 5/5  - Reg - August 10

"Property was good to stay at, probably would stay again, however the share situation with living/dining and others in the same cottage even at other end might be a consideration for future stay. But very happy over all. Was only for o/night stay and did not use any facilities. Price good for o/n stay."

"We had a wonderful stay the cottage was gorgeous and so comfortable and welcoming. Keng and Barbara were excellent hosts and all the extra lttle touches made it truly special. Our dog loved the visits and walks with the other dogs. We have already recommended this stay to others and will return ourselves when next we visit Canberra."

"Keng and Barbie are great hosts...the cottage has a lovely outlook and is decorated with much thought and consideration (the children were rapt). The breakfast supplies are more than ample. Their hospitality is second to none...we arrived late and they moved us in "with a smile". We will definitely return when we can stay longer."

"The cottage was clean and comfortable with a strong, cute christmas theme.

The service and food provisions were great - friendly owner and lots of breakfast food.

The lounge is big enough for 4 people but there is a television in the large double and DVD player in a single room. Lots of good DVDs and videos to choose from for children and adults.

The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. Outdoor eating was a pleasure.

We all enjoyed exploring and walking around the property. It is very peaceful.

A big, secure back yard where the children played with toys and bikes (supplied) and the dog enjoyed the space.

Thanks for a great long weekend. We are already planning a return visit."

"Christmas Tree Cottage goes above and beyond what you would expect and provides a very high standard of family accommodation. We will definitely be coming again."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Jon, NA - April 08

"It was a wonderful break. We found Keng and Barbara wonderful hosts. After we'd lit the combustion stove because it was a very cool evening Keng came down to put the guard around it knowing that we had younger children! We couldn't eat all the breakfast supplies and enjoyed the set up which was great for kids and visiting dog. I personally loved all the "Chrissie" decorations throughout the house!"

"Our experience at christmas tree cottage was excellent. The cottage was clean and fresh, from the kitchen through to the linen. Service was outstanding, with the fridge restocked with breakfast goodies daily. Hosts were open, and friendly with us and our kids, without being intrusive. We had a wonderful time."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Louise, NSW - January 08

"Delightful cottage, set in tranquil countryside overlooking a dam, extremely clean and owner was most welcoming. Securely fenced back yard which our puppies loved. Wish we could have stayed longer."
Guest rating: 5/5  - Diana, VIC - December 07

"It was marvelous!! Me and the rest of the gangs love the place. All rooms and toilets are clean, good kitchen and a decent size TV room.. A nice & quite place to get outside the busy city life. Not to mention the warm and friendly greetings from the owner of the house, they are both nice and super friendly!!
The only bad thing was we can only stay there for one night only (because of work related matters), but apart from that it is a 10/10 experience!!"
