Oakbrook Cottage has a very secluded large verandah that overlooks our second trout pond where you see rainbow trout swimming around waiting for unsuspecting insects.

The verandah looks through the branches of our large Oak tree (that towers beside the cottage) creating that secluded and private space where you can enjoy a reflective time with your favourite wine.

When you enter the cottage you are struck by the cathedral ceilings, and the exposed timbers of the ceiling and roof line.

You feel the open air atmosphere of the living space encased in glass windows; you quickly notice that the gardens and forest are visible from every window.

The interior is designed as open plan living, no interior doors, you move from lounge to bedroom to kitchen to spa retreat in a large well planned space.

The large Coonara log wood fire (with big glass window for maximum visual effect) is just as warm and cosy as an open log fire (easy to light and safe to use). The fire place is central to the cottage and creates the air of romance be it in the lounge, spa alcove, kitchen or bedroom.

The spa is also central to the living area, and has windows that show a vista of the outside copse of mature Manchurian pear trees surrounded by tree ferns. At night an outside light illuminates the garden area to create an even more romantic ambiance for your special occasion.

The lounge room has spacious comfortable leather lounges and cushions.

The kitchen is equipped with; gas hot plates, electric oven, microwave, fridge and the usual cutlery, dishes, glasses, the kitchen area has kitchen cupboards, sink and dining table.

The bedroom has a king bed and has an attached private ensuite and separate toilet.

Air-conditioning, mood lighting, all the entertainment equipment you need such as TV, DVD's etc. is on hand for your enjoyment, or you can relax on the verandah enjoying some quality wine in the natural vista of the gardens and surrounding forest.

A romantic dinner hamper delivered to your cottage is the finishing touch to your dream experience.

The cottage has a mini-bar for your convenience, a large selection of videos at reception and has access to laundry facilities and public phone.

The car park is deliberately a short distance at the bottom of the garden to ensure those precious morning sleeps remain undisturbed.
