Comments taken from the Corn Loft Guest book:

We loved the cottage, views, all the animals, wombats, everything in fact!

A bit of heaven on earth

Thank you for the perfect holiday. It was SENSATIONAL - the perfect balance.

This place is fantastic. We will be back. Thank you for all the nice touches.

Magical! They say the grass is always greener - now I know this is true! We have enjoyed a memorable week on your beautiful property. The countryside is stunning. It has been lovely to wake in sunlit rooms to the sounds of animals and birds. The cottage is delightful. I would like to think we will be back soon.

We adored it here, all the touches are perfect!

"Arrival was bliss. There we were at The Dream House, a two storey mud brick house ringed with a flower garden glowing in the light spilling from the cottage. It had a fire in the grate, couches with plump cushions, magazines left about to encourage idleness, artworks - and vases full of flowers. With its vaulted ceilings, polished floors and big cedar windows giving onto rural vistas, it has the feel of a ski lodge for the wealthy." Review in the Sydney Morning Herald Travel 1996 Rated 20/20

Comments taken from the Parma Creek Cottage Guest book:

I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Beautiful place, tranquillity at last. What a great place to spend our summer holidays ­ mornings spent down at the beaches at Jervis Bay and afternoons relaxing away from the crowds in the cool of the light nor-easterly breeze, Fantastic!

The atmosphere was truly inspirational! Fresh air, log fires, good food and the most beautiful mud brick cottage. Combine this with great company and life does not get much better! Thanks and we will return.

Lovely, tranquil home with beautiful surroundings, a great holiday place for everyone. Thank you for making our holiday one to remember.

Wonderful, warm and relaxing. It's like having your own house in the country. We loved it!

Good place for friends to write a book together, chat, drink coffee, visit the swimming hole, eat lots of yummy food, gaze off into beautiful distant views and dream about living here! Thank you and dream on!

Didn't want to leave! Will be back. Beautifully appointed - we were not wanting for anything ­ which is so rare. Thank you.
