Gorgeous historical cottage in Penola, where I grew up. Our third or forth stay with many more to come! Everything my son and I needed and more. Our very happy dogs made the most of the large property yard lawn and garden and chilling with us inside on their bed.

OK... This really is an historical building. It has been refurbished so that it is clean and comfortable. The character of the original building is still there and adds only to the character. The whole property is fenced in and Dee allowed us to bring our little dog. He loved haivng the chance to run around outside in the garden. Everything that is needed for breakfast and eating meals is present.

− The only issue we had was that the instant hot water didn't work at first. We called the Dee and she took care of it very quickly. I really don't have anything else we didn't like.

The house was really charming and very comfortable for our stay. Good location in town. We enjoyed exploring main street.

− No wifi at the house but you could connect to the town library wifi from the kitchen.
