This is the most memorable accommodation I've ever stayed, with beautiful forest view and fairy tale design. The facilities are in very good condition, a small kitchen, a bathroom and a garden are included. In addition to everything needed, the manager was very considerate to provide small, nice stuff like a candle, an incense, matches, chocolates, a CD player, booklets about the area... and even attached a lovely welcoming note to the door, which really added more sweet flavour during my stay. The atmosphere is unbelievably peaceful, perfect for people who want to escape city and enjoy nature & meditation.

This accommodation is something really special and our favourite on a 3-week southern Australia round trip. Caretakers might be the smallest of the cottages, but I think its the best as it is very secluded. Wonderful for a romantic get away! Having a wine on the patio at night and in the morning you feel like waking up in an enchanted forest. The hosts had prepared everything very well for our stay. Upper town is within walking distance.

Getting the luggage to the cottage is a bit of a mission along the narrow winding nature path and there‘s not a lot of room for storing it. The wall of the bathroom doesnt go all the way up to the ceiling, so not complete privacy on the loo. It wasn‘t a problem for us but something to consider depending who you want to share the cottage with.

The quiet and the little paths seem to encourage you to explore the garden, all the hidden antiques and vintage tricycles hidden away. I loved the charm of the caretakers cottage, it was definitely a memorable experience for all the right reasons. That vintage feel is esactly what my partner and I love when poking through historical towns, it was superb would not hesitate to recommend to frienda and family looking for a quiet get away

The little rock in the car park denoting the 45 degtee angle parking, gave our car some grief on the first day, but it is definitely avoidable we just miss judged, and with a lower sedan took a bit of a scrape on the exhaust. If that was the worst of it then I can assure anyone reading this that Como Cottages should be on your list of places to hide from the world for a few days

The Lavender Cottage is a superb location. Very central. Onsite parking and a 1 minute walk to the main precinct of Olinda. Usual accommodation amenities. Private from neighbours. Spacious bedrooms. Comfortable beds. Very clean. Quiet. Picturesque. Relaxing. Local area recommendations available. Board games and some reading matter available. Wifi available. Kitchen very well setup with lots of old world charm. Breakfast foods were plentiful & yummy. Spoilt for choices! The owners are very helpful and kind. There are some internal steps between rooms on the ground floor of this cottage and while there is a bedroom downstairs, the only toilet was upstairs, which was fine for us. Loved our stay here. So quaint, relaxing & beautiful.

charming little cottage with great character, comfortable and all the services you could need. staff were helpful, responsive and friendly. spa was fantastic, great breakfast provided.

our first night had torrential rain that ended up with a lot of water coming inside through the bedroom window. as soon as we called the host came to clear gutters and fixed the leak, thankfully.

It was nestled within a cozy spot, very private and it felt like you were the only one there. Magical. The fridge and pantry was stocked with breakfast foods and drinks, and the kitchen was set up to make your stay super comfortable. Also, super lovely manager at the property. The weather was perfectly cold and misty and I had the perfect view of it from my bed.

Set amongst a beautiful garden the cottage had everything I needed. Had a outdoor corner where I could sit in the sun or shade, It was peaceful, the only noise was a kookaburra or two. The free breakfast cereals, milk, bread, juice, jams plus some chocolate on arrival was a nice touch.

Very little I didn't like. If I had to pick one it was hard navigating the garden path at night when it was very dark. That said I should have put the outdoor light of my cottage on.

Very cosy cottage conveniently located right near the main street. There were lots to do and we were warmly welcomed by the host. The cottage had everything we need, including breakfast and firewood for the fireplace.

The stairs were a little steep and the blinds did not fully block out the light but no major complaints otherwise.

Location was superb - cottage was an excellent experience if you like character period dwellings- amenities were good although shower pressure was not great but was acceptable - good for a short stay:)

Shower pressure wasn’t great - ok for short stay.

Situated in very convenient location and in a beautiful setting. Hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Overall a very comfortable, quiet and private little cottage. Highly recommend.

A couple of things needed attention and the hosts were very generous with their time and help.
