As so many have said, the Rose Cottage is a real gem!! Fantastic space, impeccably clean, super private and quiet, great host, excellently appointed. We felt this may be the best AirBnB experience we’ve ever had! Thank you Michelle!

The Rose Cottage is a gem! So glad we chose this Airbnb. Tranquil, clean and peaceful. Michelle is the ultimate host – proactive & offering advice and recommendations. She then gave us all the privacy we needed. The cottage was well equipped and spacious. We were also left fresh milk, eggs, bread and breakfast – what a treat! We enjoyed the walk through the bush and feeding the horses.

Rose Cottage was one of the nicest places we have stayed—restful and felt like home on the other side of the world. There were so many thoughtful details from the design and layout of the cottage with enclosed flower garden and outdoor soaking tub, to the fresh farm eggs, milk, sourdough and wonderful coffee and cocoa and fresh cut flowers in every room. It was quiet and restful and lovely. I would love to have stayed longer.
