Tranquillity
We were really impressed by this cute little modern cottage. It has 2 fireplaces, one in the bubble bath area and one in the bedroom. It has a cozy feel to it and was the perfect choice for our 2 night getaway. It was clean and well equipped. This place is absolute magic.

An absolute gem of a place in a beautiful location
Java Villa is simply gorgeous, it’s a beautiful old building with high ceilings & is a very comfortable place to stay. The bed was really comfortable, the kitchen had everything including a fabulous coffee machine which was all ready to go filled with coffee beans. The owner left us sour dough bread, butter, jam & milk which we were very grateful for. The location is great, it’s a lovely walk into the pretty little town of Strathalbyn. Good communication with the owner who too. ,We will definitely stay again.

Relaxing Stay
I had a wonderful time. The hosts were warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room was cozy and peaceful, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I loved relaxing in the beautiful hot tub. The location was perfect—quiet but still close to everything I wanted to see. It was the perfect spot to unwind, and I’m already looking forward to returning!

Great place in Strath for a couple's getaway
Lovely place, exactly as described in the listing, great attention to detail and well managed.We stayed in summer when it was hot so we didn't get to try the woodfire, but there is a/c which works well. We had a great experience and can highly recommend.

Villa in Strath
The location was excellent however the spa bath only has cold water. Very disappointed that it’s advertised as a selling point but you can’t use it. Check in and communication was good. Secure courtyard/garden for my dog.
