Summary: Jackie was a fabulous property owner, and was so very helpful every step of the way. We had an unfortunate vehicle accident which left us without a vehicle, and she even sourced a vehicle locally for us to rent so we could still get about and enjoy our time. The hosue had everything that we needed, and more. 3 x beds and 3 x bathrooms for a party of 3 couples was just perfect, and so very clean!

Summary: This was one of the best places I've ever stayed at. The host has thought of everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The house itself was incredibly clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything available to make meals, cuppas, etc then a dishwasher to take care of the clean up. Beds were warm and comfy, bathrooms were clean and inviting. I really enjoyed the spa bath after a long day out and about. The land the property sits on is stunning- very wild and abundant with wildlife. The host was super friendly and helpful, even starting us a roaring fire so we'd feel warm and relaxed when we arrived. We had a wonderful time at Echidna and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for hosting us, Jackie!!

Summary: As usual, we enjoyed our stay (3rd time) and this time had family stay with us who enjoyed it as well. Our host was lovely, the accommodation excellent and the wildlife we saw this time was phenomenal - quolls, wallabies, potoroos, red robins, green rosellas, currawongs and echidnas.
