The Nest at Gundaroo

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

Second Visit as Good as the First We returned to The Nest, which we seldon do. We can think of no negative feedback to give - it was just great. The provided breakfast is good - and was replemished on the second day. The fire was perfect for us. Thank you!

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.

Such a great experience staying in such an old property with such modern conveniences inside. And having the heating on and the fire ready to go on our arrival in the middle of winter was perfect!

Lovely stay

Spacious and comfortable room (Cockatoo) in a nice garden setting. Grocery store next door and a cafe, restaurant and pub very close. Cereal, bread, eggs and bacon supplied for a make-your-own breakfast. Check-in and check-out are contactless, so we did not meet the owners.
