Inside, the cottage is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Relax by the indoor fire pit in the spacious, open-plan kitchen and living area, or retreat to the master bedroom where large windows frame views of the wilderness and kangaroos. The kids will love the fun bunk room, while all beds are made up with soft, professionally laundered cotton sheets.
