THIS WAS THE BEST EXOTIC MAGNOLIA COTTAGE EVER!!!

We went for John’s 70th birthday and Mahi & Ros asked if the visit was a special occasion. When we arrived at this delightfully presented cottage, situated at the back of the main house and totally private, with only the birds for company, there was a HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner on the wall. Ros graciously showed us around and then we opened the fridge to find a beautifully decorated chocolate cake with Happy Birthday on it. On the table was a birthday card for John too. The cottage had everything you would possibly need and was so cosy. The very large balcony was perfect for our G&T’s in the late afternoon and we looked forward to this ritual each evening. We loved staying at the cottage and Mahi & Ros were the warmest and nicest hosts we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. We hope to return and can recommend staying at this charming place when visiting Bundanoon. Margaret & John

A wonderful find.

2 night family stay at The Best Exotic Magnolia Cottage in Bundanoon was exceptional. Beautifully appointed in every way, spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Beds too were very comfortable with plush furnishings. Spacious bathroom with spacious shower, washer/dryer etc. The garden area was charming and colourfully ladscaped complete with a deck and sitting area to enjoy the lovely country atmosphere. Kitchen equipped with all you could want including a great selection of breakfast items generously provided by the hosts. The owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make this cottage warm, welcoming and comfortable. Would highly recommend. Will definitely stay here again when next in the area.
