Vakantieverhuur in Smythesdale

Our family had a wonderful time at Ricardo's house. Some family members were initially hesitant about the price but at the end of our stay everyone agreed that it was worth it and had a great time. The house was roomy enough to accommodate our group of 10, was tastefully decorated and had spectacular views from the floor to ceiling windows. There were lovely little touches upon our arrival: a handwritten welcome note, some delicious home-baked almond Sicilian cookies, and fresh eggs and milk in the fridge. The animals (alpacas and sheep) were entertaining and I grew particularly fond of a dear black-faced sheep who was often away from the rest of the flock, waiting near the fence wanting to be fed, like an enthusiastic puppy. Ricardo responded to all of our queries quickly and practically, which made our stay smooth and incident-free. The house was well-equipped and didn't want for anything.

Beautiful spot. Host put a lot of thought into the home. Had everything we needed.

Absolutely 5 stars! The photos really don’t do this place justice—even after reading that in other reviews, I was still genuinely surprised by how beautiful it was. The pantry was well stocked, with thoughtful items that seemed to have been left behind by generous guests—so we added a little something too. The fireplace was all set up, which made it super easy to get started and added a cozy touch. The back balcony was the perfect spot for breakfast, with a beautiful view while watching our dog run around the yard. Dog bowls were even provided! Highly recommended

Alan’s house is large and roomy, perfect for large groups and great for children. Everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Alan was very helpful. Would highly recommend

The perfect place to unwind and enjoy some quiet time. The space was beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The view was absolutely stunning and added so much to the charm of the entire experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Nice place to stay, helpful host, very well-maintained and clean property. Peaceful area, nice and private. Great stay.

Thanks Anthony & Andrew for a relaxing stay at your beautiful cottage! It had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway, plus dog friendly with a secure yard meant Pepper could enjoy the space with us :)

We had a wonderful three-day stay at Landfall Cottage where we were warmly welcomed and spoiled by Mary and Adrian. Their peaceful corner of the world was ideal for us to get away from it all and enjoy rural life again. To get to know their friendly horses, Jack and Daniel and to see a large mob of kangaroos leaping through the paddocks and clearing the fences in style wiped away any city cobwebs that could remain in us. Instead we felt welcomed by a world that brought to mind all of the images of some of our great Australian poets, Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson. Robyn, my son Paul and I loved every moment of the stay and we will certainly be returning to shrug off the cares of the world and embrace Landfall Cottage again.
