"The location is fantastic for visits to the wineries, so many so closeby. We saw wild kangaroos in the morning which was lovely for my sister-in-law who was over from the UK. All in all, great."

- Pip, -Mar '11

"our stay was very nice but not up to the quality that cost would have suggested it be. We have stayed in similiar accommodation (because of our dog) at half this price."

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kookaburra Hideaway, we found the whole experience from booking to departure an absolute pleasure. It was all that we expected and more. The cottage was really well appointed and the location superb. We will most certainly hope to return some time soon. Many many thanks.Thank you so much for our stay. What a beautiful tranquil place!
