Really cute cottage perfect for our hiking trip. Clean, neat & tidy, and really great to have a full kitchen and laundry facilities. Loved the verandah out the front. Being able to sit out there in a lovely country town with a cup of tea after a long day hiking watching the world go by was the perfect end to the day. Lovely and quiet which was appreciated coming from big city dwellers. Highly recommend this place.

We (4 ) had a very enjoyable stay. The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed, and in an excellent location. Our only criticisms relate to the bathroom. We knew that one bathroom for 4 people could be a bit of a bottleneck; of course a second toilet (in the laundry, perhaps?) would be advantageous. But beyond that, stepping in and out of the bath is problematic: the edge of the bath is quite high, and there is no grab handle on the wall, nor a non-slip mat in the bath. In addition (less serious) the bar radiator in the bathroom did not work.

Perfect bolthole for exploring the area, in comfort and style

This small cottage has everything you need for a comfortable few days in Coonabaraban. It is on a quiet street but just a short walk to the main street, and a good central location to all the attractions of the area.The house itself is well-equipped, welcoming, and cosy. I particularly appreciated the basic supplies that were provided, and being able to do laundry while away. My only regret was not having an extra night or two :)If we ever return to the area, we would very happily stay again in Dark Skies Cottage

Fantastic accommodation in the heart of town

My family and I had a great stay at dark skies. The house is in a great location, easily accessible and has great amenities. The house was exceptionally clean and outfitted with everything you need for your stay, including great resources on things to do in the area. The yard is large and secure so no issues leaving your dog there. Highly recommend this listing to anyone looking for accommodation in Coona.
