Beautiful dog friendly Olinda cottage stay

My husband and I loved staying at the Old Church House Cottage. The host was extraordinarily kind, warm and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The property is perfectly located, charming and has a lovely jacuzzi and sauna in the garden. Our little indoor dogs loved going for walks in the local area and many shops welcomed them in. Highly recommend.

Stunning, romantic getaway with the kindest hostes!

I cannot rave about this place enough. The hosts were beyond kind to us even picking us up from the local station and dropping us back. We arrived to a fire and wine on ice! Secluded stay and 1 min walk to town. We're planning our next stay already!

Such a beautiful space

This place was honestly beautiful and such good use of a studio style space. Lots of games, the TV was perfect netflix foxtel etc... so many complimentary things gave us everything we needed if we just wanted to stay in and relax. Perfect area too, really quick 2 minute walk to the shopping strip in Olinda. My only suggestion is to put a lock on the door that requires the key to lock as we got locked out, that was the only downside of this beautiful place.

Peaceful

Olinda church house is a special place, we stayed here for one night on a short break away from our hectic work life, it was so relaxing, the cleanliness of the property amazing, the peaceful surroundings incredible and only a short walk or drive into Olinda itself. We have already rebooked our next trip to the church house, can't wait

FABULOUS

After our original honeymoon overseas was cancelled due to the corona virus, we decided to keep our post wedding house as an excuse for a mini honeymoon in the meantime. Boy of boy are we glad we did! My husband and I had an amazing weekend away! The sauna and spa were ideal for some much needed relaxation and Tracey was a fantastic host! Book a stay here and you won’t regret it! Thanks again for a lovely stay!

A little piece of gold!

Wow!! This property is sure to impress! Tracey is an amazing host and so lovely! So much attention to detail! From the delicious cheese board and bottle of red on arrival to a lovely personal card wishing me a happy birthday! On one of Summers hottest day’s I received a message from Tracey saying she’s put on the aircon so it will be nice and cool when we arrive! So thoughtful! My hubby and I felt at home and very relaxed on our romantic get away! Beautifully decorated and the cupboards were well stocked with yummy snacks! We could not recommend this property and hosts enough! We will definitely be back! Do your self a favour and book this amazing romantic accommodation! Amber xx
