Can sum it up in one word. Homely
Reviewed By Serving_ReasonThis is a beautiful facility with three separate cottages. The exterior is beautiful, as is the interior. The signage could be a little more pronounced, as we missed it twice when we drove through. Our booking was through an external website and we didn’t receive the lock box instructions. This meant we had to call and leave a voicemail to get the details. Our cottage was very roomy with a federation theme throughout. The overall word to describe it is “homely”. We instantly felt at home. The kitchenette is well appointed and good bathroom facilities. The bed is very comfortable with crisp clean linen. This was a fantastic and surprising stay. Highly recommend.

Way above expectations
Reviewed By 218jennawSo glad I chose to stay here. These cottages are cleverly and beautifully renovated, but you can still see the structure of history underneath. One bedroom cottage was HUGE and extremely comfortable, with a queen bed and a single, plus a sitting room with reverse cycle and television. Large shower cubicle. Kitchen had everything I needed including fridge and microwave. Toiletries and coffee/tea supplies included. Great location 2 mins from cafes in the main street. Parking at the door. There are BBQs and a laundry outside as well. They have accessible cottages too. And it was very reasonably priced.

Donington- Enjoy the peacefulness

Full kitchen, BBQ and outdoor dining. The best thing was the wildlife. We had 6 emus and 2 kangaroos regularly visiting us. The beach is great to walk along and hiking trails all close by

Great location and comfortable bed, but seriously lacking in cleaning and maintenance
Reviewed By Discover03180872135On the plus side, the location is central, the bed in our cottage was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was functional, if a little weird, being mostly occupied by a large spa bath. The let-downs came firstly with the toilet, which did not flush properly and had a broken toilet-roll holder, and secondly with the kitchen, which was not properly cleaned. It was fortunate another couple who had booked with us decided not to come, because we could not have managed the non-flushing toilet with more than two people. In the kitchen, the oven was unusable, because it had certainly not been cleaned since the previous use and, judging by the volume of acrid smoke emitted when it heated up, probably not for a long time before that. The 'fridge, although the main section was clean, still had a partly-used container of ice cream in the freezer. General maintenance was sadly lacking, inside and out. Penola is located in the middle of a premium wine-growing region. Cobb & Co Cottages could be made a very nice place to stay, but it is presently showing obvious signs of neglect.
8. Narnu Farm

4.5 based on 20 reviews
Narnu Farm is a family-friendly, interactive holiday destination on Hindmarsh Island - South Australia. With farm cottage style accommodation, animal feeding, horse riding lessons, trail rides, truck rides, bonfires and much more it is a most memorable experience. Children can enjoy some good old fashioned fun in the fresh air without the need for technology…..building and playing in their own cubby houses, collecting eggs, bottle feeding baby farm animals and holding chicks. It’s a memorable and fascinating experience that will have you wanting to come back time and again. Narnu farm is also a popular South Australian School Camp destination. With fun filled educational activity programs, bunk house style accommodation and full catering, kids just love it!
Wonderful family break
Reviewed By muggyhenThis is a perfect place to stay for families. I don't really like the bustle of campsites so I found Narnu farm a great option for a cabin stay. The staff are all friendly and professional. It is very well maintained and the animals are all healthy and well cared for. The cabins are spaced out, and it feels really peaceful. My daughter had a horse ride which was well organised and great value. The animal feeding is a great addition (around 1 hour of interaction with a variety of animals). Highly recommended
