Cape Howe Cottages

Sadly a terrible experience at Cape Howe cottages. The place itself is an average setup but the rooms are freezing and they will not provide heaters. We were also left with a bitter taste when they charged us $100 for leaving a couple of cups in the sink and bedding in the lounge, where our baby had to end up sleeping because the rooms were ice cold. Not considerate, poor service, would not recommend.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay and the cabin lived up to expectations based on other reviews and photos etc. Cake and Ale cottage is in a secluded location with good amenities including a full kitchen with dishwasher, bathroom with small bath and separate shower, two bedrooms (king sized bed/s) and a great open plan space with log burning fireplace. The overall cottage is a very comfortable space to stay and the balcony perfect for relaxing during the day or looking at the stars on a clear night. We ordered the ‘little bit of luxury’ package as an add on and whilst not sure we got everything listed on the website we did get fluffy show white robes, some toiletries and a breakfast basket that included milk, fresh hot bread, eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomato, jams and butter, aldi yogurt, baked beans plus ground coffee and leaf tea. It was lovely although a more local touch (local jam or fruit) would be a bonus. The cottage was well maintained and very clean. There are little reminders of additional costs (extra firewood & wifi) but to date we haven’t been charged for the second bag of wood which I hope is the norm as for a 3 night stay I believe that the two bags should be minimum provided. All up, good value, lovely location and a very enjoyable stay - I would recommend and also look forward to trying the other cottages.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Saltbox with 3 children. Everything felt spacious, relaxing, and very comfortable. Highlights included the quiet location, beautiful bushland surrounding the cottage, comfortable beds, indulgent spa bath, fully equipped kitchen and laundry and cosy wood fire for the cold nights. Highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing sojourn.
