Summary: Kangarutha Cottage is a lovely 70s style cottage with great amenities set in a beautiful garden on a gorgeous rural/ bush property. Super peaceful. Loved staying here with my two dogs, will definitely come again. (Note that the fences on the property are quite low so if you have a larger agile dog that is motivated to explore they could easily make a bid for freedom ;) ). Keen to try out the camp sites on the property too, they look fantastic. Thanks!
