Reviews
Cute Cottage Escape
Nikki V - 11th June 2024Eco Cottage has a unique charm about it. We found the cottage to be private, clean and cosy. The kitchen was equipped with everything we required. The heating system worked wonderfully. The only slight drawback was the train passing by at various hours, though we eventually got used to it.
Amazing
Joseph C - 31st August 2023Gorgeous cottage, definitely a place we would stay again
Cottage in the COuntry

Emily L - 11th July 2022Very peaceful stay. Cute cottage.
Overall
Maureen I - 9th July 2022Viewing the cottage as we drove towards it was very special. The rustic exterior so charming we were keen to see what awaited us inside. We were not disappointed. The kitchen and other furnishings added to the quaint ambiance. It was a delight to see the bedroom upstairs. We were kept well and truly warm with heater and an electric blanket. Downstairs the bathroom was a pleasure to use, the vanity in particular keeping with the era.
Great cottage and very private.
Sally G - 17th April 2022We loved Eco Cottage. It was set slightly away from the other properties and we liked that. It's very close to the rail line and the trains went past regularly but after a while, we hardly even noticed them. The house is probably good for 2 people, 3 might be a bit of a squash. Facilities are minimal but it suited us. Fabulous location looking out on to bush land and with some lovely walks
Eco Cottage comments
Tim M - 28th March 2022Hi, I stayed at the Eco Cottage, in Little Forest in Mittagong over the weekend. The property was lovely.
The Eco Cottage was a lovely and very private place to stay. It's a rustic and homely cottage that you can take your dog to, which was a nice and refreshing change. There is a train line right next to the cottage, which may bother some, but not us. Would stay again :)
Although the place is beside a train line where trains are a bit loud, it is a welcome balance between the serenity of the area. Saw bunnies, roos and butterflies in the front yard during our stay. Enjoyed star and moon gazing at night with the whole family on the top terrace. Will definitely come back!
Quaint and cozy stay with the dogs
Erin D - 28th December 2020This little eco-cottage is small but covered all our needs and is super cute. Even though the cottage is small, the kitchen, bathroom, living area and sleeping area felt roomy with all the necessities. The lawn is huge and away from the other properties. We found it a breeze to get into Mittagong and Bowral. We found it easy to get in touch with the property management prior to the stay and they were very welcoming of our furry friends. Staying in the Eco-cottage was a delightful experience
beautiful cottage . convenient location
We had a lovely time in this wonderful retreat. I would recommend to bring some ear plugs as the train is quite loud. Worth it though!
Our little family had an amazing time thanks to this beautiful experience in this "fairy tale" Eco cottage. Our son absolutely adored the trains passing by and bush walks around this peaceful property. We'd love to come back.
