Perfect Getaway
Absolutely beautiful place to enjoy going away for the weekend. The cottage was super cozy and romantic. Everything was very clean and the supplied breakfast options were a great touch. We enjoyed just sitting out on the chairs overlooking the garden enjoying our breakfast. Great place to unwind and do nothing.

Great stay in a beautiful cottage. Very clean and the garden was amazing. Hosts very friendly on arrival but then left us for our stay. No issues but were available if we had concerns. Breakfast provided was lovely and amenities were great. Beds very comfortable. Thank you Don and Sharon for a very relaxing few days. Would definitely stay at Elouera Cottage again

Romantic Getaway
We went here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and could not have picked a more perfect venue. It is the most perfect place for a relaxing, romantic stay. You can't find fault with anything. You can just sit back and enjoy the peace, privacy and romance of the place. The owners are friendly but just leave you alone to soak up the romance of the place that they have worked so hard to create.

The cottage and garden were strikingly beautiful from the first impression. Well appointed, comfortable and private in a well kept garden. The hosts were friendly and knowledgeable about the local area, and the shops and amenities of Queanbeyan and Canberra were nearby an accessible. A very relaxing and peaceful place!

We absolutely loved this cottage on a beautiful well kept property with stunning gardens and birdlife. All the extra finishing touches make this place very special. Very close to Canberra but remote enough to feel like we were away from it all. Would definitely recommend this accomodation.

We really enjoyed the quiet and beautiful surroundings to this superbly presented cottage. Thank you so much to the owners for the wonderful experience they have created. Everything was perfect. Just one thing: Short residents need a step to stand on to reach the top cupboard in the kitchen.

Great place to unwind
We've both have had a stressful year and decided we wanted to get away and just relax and unwind. We booked in for 3 nights and our stay was great. Super quiet area. The living area in the cottage is surrounded by tall windows which allow you to watch the little birds playing in the trees, the kangaroo's and joey's enjoying the evening. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We stayed during the spring, so the trees and flowers were in full bloom. Bed was comfy... and the shower had amazing water pressure! Lovely place to relax!
