Kimo Estate

We visited Kimo Estate and stayed in the Sweeney's Hut. The views are amazing and that is what you are paying for. As previous reviewers have stated there is no electricity outlets so ladies forget the hairdryer and the GHD. The Hut is solar powered. No air conditioner only a very small fan on the wall next to bed. My advice would be never visit in Summer or the dead of Winter. Breakfast provisions are supplied in an outdoor camp fridge that is run on a battery. Tea and coffee / sugar / oil / vinegar are supplied, no tissues or wipes to clean the BBQ. The Negatives: the hut and its furniture is showing its age now. Hard leather chairs. Nails protruding out of timber deck in places. So be careful. Water damage on timber walls In need of some TLC. Heated pool: a very strange colour of water in here, did not look very inviting, takes 1 hour approximately to heat up. Whether its bore water?? All cooking on the BBQ has to be done outside, there is a small gas kitchen burner that can be used inside the hut if it was raining. No inside dining table to sit at, only outside, it was so windy we could not sit outside for dinner/breakfast, so we had to sit on the bed/floor of the hut, extremely uncomfortable. No wardrobe for hanging up clothing, 2 hooks provided only. No window coverings at all. Sweeney's Hut faces the road, so there is traffic noise and at night car headlamps on high beam light up the hut and disturb your sleep. Tips: Bring your own esky with ice as the fridge that is provided is a little on the small side. Bring some food with you otherwise its a 20-25min drive into town. Bring some torches or lamps as the lighting is very dull. They do provide 2 rechargeable lanterns. Tip: Choose one of the other huts around so that you are not disturbed by noise and headlights.

Great place to switch off and relax. Daleys Cottage is around 100 years old and a formers worker cottage. Three bedroom apartment sleeping 6 in total. Kitchen is well sized with everything you need. No bath in the bathroom but shower had good pressure and ample size. Sit out the back and enjoy a bbq with friends or a gin and tonic out on the verandah as the sunsets.

Stunning little cottage in a beautiful rural setting. well appointed and so comfortable. We wished we had booked another few nights .
