Allenvale

We stayed in Kero Cottage at Allenvale, a getway for our 51st wedding anniversary. What a delight! The cottage is quaint, and quite rugged looking from the outside. Inside has been beautifully renovated while maintaining the charm of the exterior and has absolutely everything you could want. Two bedrooms, double and twin, modern kitchen and bathroom and a cosy lounge with coonara wood heater and split system air-con. The gardens are lovely and with Henderson Creek running along the back and St George River right outside the front door it is a haven for wildlife. Lorne is just a five minute drive but you wouldn't know it, given the seclusion and tranquility. Lots of bushwalks in the area, or just relax and enjoy the bush surrounds. Lorne had a great vibe, with lots of cafes and Lorne Hotel does great meals. Excellent value for the money and highly recommended.

Had a girls weekend in Riverbank cottage. The setting is so beautiful and the house perfect for what we needed But...There was absolutely no hospitality shown.We arrived and left without siting a person. There was no welcome pack with info on house and area or how to operate appliences etc.The fridge wasn't even turned on and no milk for a cuppa after a long trip. Arriving in the evening the fire was not lit or even set for us to light.The wood was damp and we had no kindling. We ended up with no fire on the first night and had to buy kidling in town the next day. The reverse cycle air con seemed not to be working properly and on opening it the filters were absolutley clogged with dust. One of the bedrooms had no light bulbs in the ceiling. There were handles missing from draws and the bathroom window would not shut properly so were not lockable. Just very dissapionting when still charging a premium. Just felt as though they are happy to take your money with little ,to no care for the fact they are in the "hospitality" and thats what they need to do, provide some hospitality!

We had a delightful holiday in this beautiful rustic cottage. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and had a wonderful log fire. The setting was stunning with masses of bird life and kangaroos. It was the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, with lovely bush walks all within the confines of Allenvale. Could not recommend this Cottage highly enough, we will be back!
