Guest Reviews

"The warm welcome extended by Kerri and Steve and the personal concern for ours needs over our stay.
The fact that they would turn off farm machinery noise if a guest requested such is something we have never seen before in an information folio.
Steve has made all the beautiful wooden furniture for Tor cottage. It is fantastic.
The cottage is quiet and on top of the world. Beautiful. Serene and relaxing. "

"What a beautiful slice of coutryside. My only regret was that we really didn't get to take full advantage of everything on offer due to my partner's dislocated knee. Steve & Kerri made sure we were comfortable. The cottage is a great place to relax and unwind and the scenery is spectacular. Saul & Aly, QLD - July '11"

"We loved everything about our stay at Tor Cottage. The cabin has everything we needed and more. The surrounding granite rock formations are stunning. I have recommended this place to our friends for really recharging the batteries. We will be back next year."

"After a 4 nights stay with my wife and my dog with pleasure I am happy to say what a beautiful location and what an excellent bush engineered cottage Steve and Kerry have designed and built. We spent a wonderful time exploring, painting, reading and relaxing in the spar. With the cold night of winter outside our door we were reposed in tranquillity in the comfort of our log fire fuelled warmth. I was also impressed by the mix of books on the shelf, for the first time I actually read a few. Steve and Kerry are also lovely hosts, giving you the freedom of privacy and friendly sociability.

"We had the most wonderful, relaxing and romantic long weekend at Tor Cottage and have raved about it to everyone since getting back. The cottage was cosy, very clean and comfortable, and the spa and fireplace were fantastic! As other reviewers have mentioned, the stars at night are a sight to behold. Absolute privacy, peace, quiet, clean air and the beautiful view to hills in the distance create a perfect setting for a perfect weekend. We can't wait to go back! "

"Our stay at 'Tor Cottage' was an experience that we will never forget. Amongst the tranquillity and peace, the wildlife and scenery, we experienced a relaxation like no other. The stars at night were like diamonds, you could pluck them out of the sky they seemed so close and so many.

We had privacy, comfort and rest which is what we needed. Tor Cottage is the most snuggle place I have been to and we do holiday in a lot of retreat places. It is so well built with the organisation of everything you need, the woodwork is fantastic and the Spa bath was such a bonus.

Our dogs Zeus and Roxy had the best holiday ever Zeus thinks he is a Dingo now from running around the bush. I am sure they miss it too I have never seen them play so much together.

Kerri and Steve - how lucky are you to be living in such a wonderful area. We would like to thank you for giving us this opportunity and experiences we will hold in our memory bank. Oh and thanks for the lovely fresh rosemary and the lovely scented Lemon Myrtle hand soap you had there - wonderful."

"just quite, i need that,and a beautiful seting"
Guest rating: 5/5  - John, NSW - August 10

"Arriving under a star-filled sky, we entered the wonderfully inviting, secluded cottage, and were instantly charmed by it's roaring fire. The quiet bush setting, along with it's great vista, was just as we might have hoped, topped off with a feeling of privacy that's often lost when looking to get away.
Walks in the surrounding bush revealed impressive granite boulders, beautiful wildflowers, towering gums and birdlife all around.
Tired limbs were overcome by indulging in the welcoming spa, a glass of wine in hand, as we planned our return to Tor Cottage! "

"We liked the privacy. We loved the cottage - great layout and very reasonably priced. Great location and a variety of interesting places to visit nearby. Overall a truly relaxing week-end. Perfect. Looking forward to a return visit."

"The cottage is just so lovely and perfectly equipt. The spa and the fireplace make it the best place for a winter hide away. The couple who owns the property are really nice and helpful while respecting the privacy. It was great and exceeding our expectations by far. The forest itself is beautiful and with no one else around it was the best place to relax I can possibe imagine."

"We stayed for three nights with our spoilt rottie-xxs and they gave the place the paws up. It's not often that you get access to beautiful natural bushland with wildlife and wild flowers and share the experience with your faithful hounds. We walked Anketell for hours and the dogs never tired of sniffing for scents and staring in amazement at the huge walleroos. Late afternoons were spent on the decking surveying the big horizon and watching the sun set with a few home brews to mellow out the day.. We thorougly enjoyed the lack of TV and mobile coverage and fell asleep to the sounds of silence disturbed only by the crickets.
The cabin was snug amd cosy and the mattress and pillows get 10/10 for comfort. We brought all our own food as we were doubtful about local food options (esp for the vego)but found the fridge a little small so were glad we brought the esky. Kerri and Steve were laid back hosts and we liked the feeling that they were there if needed, but not in your face. Highly recommended for a few days away from the rat race and we'll definately be back. "
