The Nest at Gundaroo

The first impression at front door was disappointing. The area was not swept or dusted . There were spiders and webs between most bricks and windows and had obviously been there for quite a while. The front door mat and surrounds were covered in bunches of old leaves. The inside was fine and comfortable but all over didn’t live up to our expectations

Not what we expected given the advertising To be fair this was probably a case of a square peg in a round hole. We were looking for a few days in a luxurious quiet place and unfortunately this isn’t it. The Heron is the first cabin and faces the Main Street as well as the local cafe. This results in the early morning tyre noise every 15 or so seconds as the morning commute from somewhere to somewhere begins. This is then joined by the extractor fan for the cafe that runs all day until about 5pm. There is a veranda but without screening you are left looking at the main road and the patrons of the cafe. The key was in a safe but the code set to us didn’t match what eventually turned out to be the correct one. The ashtray outside still contained stubs and the deck looked dirty. Inside the cabin is rustic and comfortable (note bed is super soft style) but certainly not luxurious. Towels and toiletries were of medium level of quality and in fact some of the dispenser units were out of product. Breakfast is supplied and is basic but adequate. The cleaner turned up in the afternoon of our three night stay and was polite and had the next day’s breakfast but was not seen the following day. We stayed on a Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday night and the guests driving past our cabin was quite noticeable however did settle down. The internet is very good and the interior was clean with just the occasional web (to be fair it is in the country and they looked very fresh) Ok for a single night, certainly not luxurious but clean

Great place to stay outside of Canberra Beautiful Countryside, the property was comfortable and the host was quick to respond to needs. Generous breakfast baskets including lovely local eggs

Liked the Coonara, having a fridge, comfortable furniture, easy to gain entry with convenient info sent ahead of arrival, good water pressure in shower, overall very comfortable and welcoming Only criticism - towels very thin and only 2 of them.

Fabulous property.

Lovely stay
