Guest Comments

General Store Cottage

"Having traveled to so many places and stayed at many 5 star properties, I wanted to check trip advisor to see if Woollamia Village Retreat had any reviews on it. I assumed that it would have a least one - alas, I am the first to write this - and this is 4 years since my stay. Why now?

This piece of property is still one of the wonderful memories I have of rural Australia. Set on a large piece of property, built by Brian, the owner himself, it mirrors a small Australian town with a shop (where we stayed), a post office, a church, police station and a school. Each cottage has its own unique character and is modeled after the actual building type.

For example, our shop had a shop window where empty authentic old cans and biscuit boxes were displayed. It also had a fully functioning kitchen, a jacuzzi, an antique cash register. The property is simply unique and the proprietors, Brian & Sue must have devoted a lot of time, energy and creativity to have recreated this Australian village. Truly memorable!" Hong Kong - 30/09/08
