Idyllic stone cottage in the heart of Childers.

Idyllic stone cottage with slate floors under a giant fig tree, 200 metre stroll to the picturesque town of Childers. Plenty of pubs and coffee shops and an IGA supermarket for all your requirements.

Fantastic stay
Stayed overnight after visiting friends for lunch, rather than face a 3hr drive home in the evening. Decided a quaint stone cottage would be more pleasant than a motel. Very clean and comfortable, centrally located walking distance to town, undercover carport at the front ! Host kindly left chocolates and icy poles in the fridge ( huge hit with husband ) there were other basic condiments too Many thanks ! Will return.

Wonderful host
Karen was very helpful when our plans were disrupted by Cyclone Alfred. We appreciated the attention to detail that made this 'home away from home' for us, such as herbal teabags and cereals. Very conveniently located, walking distance to shops.

Amazing
This Cottage is so beautifully presented and feels like a home away from home. Plenty of space even though its open plan it feels very private. The decor is stunning and amenties are amazing. The fully fenced yard was perfect for pur 2 dogs. The hosts were nothing short of exceptional. They catered to all our needs and more.

Karen was so friendly, all and more was available to us. We just couldn’t believe the extras that were provided. I have stayed in other places and now I have used Staz if this is an example all should follow Karen’s lead

Awesome cottage and stay!
We loved our stay with Karen and Trevor! They had left so many special touches in the room (pet treats; ice creams; cereal; fruit) and really cared about our stay being great! Communication was amazing and so responsive. It’s open plan and a little trickier for a group but it worked well! We’d love to go back as just a couple sometime. Overall was a great experience and definitely a place we’d stay again!

Thank you for such a beautiful stay. Wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts, and lots of lovely little touches within the cottage to help us feel at home. Also a nice little seperated yard for my dogs to be play in a secure space. Would recommend and will stay again!

Beautiful Cottage!
We arrived late afternoon and were shown around the cottage. Our dogs immediately explored all the wonderful smells in the garden which was fully fenced and safe for them. Everything in the cottage was perfect! The bed was comfortable, lovely hot shower, comfortable lounge and sparkling clean. Our breakfast was fully catered with cereal and bread, milk, yogurt etc. We were very impressed. The owners were available next door if we needed to call on them for anything. Highly recommend.
