Sassafras Cottage @ Woodlands Estate - magical romantic escape & dog friendly

A romantic & tranquil cottage. Enjoy your stay surrounded with magnificent & magical gardens which sits at the bottom of Woodlands Estate.
Your privacy is assured & guests are welcome to explore & use the gardens inc the pool (not heated). The cottage is self contained with basic kitchen facilities & separate bathroom. We welcome small dogs (not on furnishings pls) pls advise us & please add the dog in booking. Also note we have a gorgeous cavoodle Sassy & she doesn’t mind sharing her home
The space
This quaint newly renovated 60 sqm cottage is completely self contained including a separate bathroom. It has a beautiful wood heater that keeps you extremely warm when chilly & a portable fan if needed in summer. Enjoy the ambiance out front amongst the garden for a quiet read or perhaps a glass of wine whilst cooking dinner on the BBQ.

There is a TV & access to WIFI for stay in nights. During the day explore the garden, wander around, or perhaps have a late afternoon glass of bubbles on the champagne deck on the main lawn area. Feel free to use the pool but BYO towels for swimming.

Please note we live in the main house but it is very separate to the cottage.
Guest access
As this property is a gated premise we utilise a lock box for entering the main gate. The cottage will be open and a key available to lock if necessary.
Other things to note
If you have booked your dog to stay too please ensure you pick up after your dog and refrain them from lounging on the couch or the bed.
Also ensure the pet is officially booked in & the surcharge is part of your booking.

Please advise if you are inviting anyone to visit you whilst staying & definitely no parties or events.

We loved this piece of paradise in Sassafras. From the excellent instructions to the lovely location, everything was exactly as described.The fire was set and all ready to go and the kitchen had an abundance of equipment, including a coffee machine.It is whisper quiet and the perfect spot to relax. Highly recommended.
