Food a problem
The cottage was nice, good heater which was needed. Oatlands itself, no food available week nights 3pm until 10am other than IGA. Not a lot to do/see for more than 1 day.

Hi Leslie. It would be good if your review could actually relate to our accommodation - which you seem to be satisfied with. We are not in control of other local businesses and their opening hours. The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, and there is a very good local IGA with pre-prepared meals. If guests do not research food availability prior to their stay, it is not our fault. Frankly, your rating of our property is unfair based on circumstances out of our control.

Property was really good but we found there was only the RSL open for a meal at night, dining venues in Oatlands are few.

The property is in a good position. The toilet was not clean on arrival. There is nowhere to eat on Monday or Tuesday after five. The cottage I was in is very small and would be too small for two people.

Dear Peter. Apologies on the cleanliness issue - I will take that up with housekeeping (and it would have been immediately attended to if you'd let us know). We take care to advertise that this room is small - the square meterage is advertised and that is why this is our least expensive room. We do have larger rooms, at additional cost - but that is the choice made upon booking.

Character cottage in Oatlands
The cottage was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities you would expect. The building is old so has a few funny quirks but nothing to detract from the overall enjoyment of staying there. The kitchen and bathroom have been renovated to a high standard and the bedrooms were very comfortable. We will stay here again.

Hello John. Wondering if you could be a bit more specific, and perhaps provide some photos, for why you believe the place is uninhabitable - so that we can address any matters. We note that there were no complaints from you during your stay.

It was a very comfortable place to stay. A lovely atmosphere. Attention to detail.We arrived on Sunday evening and nothing was open except the IGA supermarket. We managed to buy a nice quiche and some salad. Our hosts kindly sold us an exceptionally nice bottle of wine from their very nice little wine bar a few doors away. It was all extremely comfortable and pleasant. We thoroughly enjoyed wandering around the town the following morning.

This property in Oatlands is cosy and quiet. It is a renovated self contained cottage at the back of the block. The work they have put into the property to make it modern and comfortable shows. My only negative was the bed. Not sure if it was the brand of mattress, the bed platform, or the mattress needs to be turned or replaced, It was lumpy in unexpected places. It is a little gem of a place and would be a great weekend away if you wanted to explore the Towns of Oatlands or the surrounding area.

The cottage was cozy, cute and convenient to the new swimming pool (next door) and the charger for our EV (also next door and free). We had a single room and bathroom which were adequate but meals had to be sourced elsewhere and that's difficult on a Monday night when everything is shut.

The main bed was extremely well used and had deep dips on both sides of the mattress. The middle has a hump. The house smelt of stale cooked food. No hand soap in the bathroom/toilet area. The window in the bathroom had a great bottom lock latch but the top section can be pulled down and open so it wasn’t secure lol. There was a rise in the carpet near the small hall between the lounge/bathroom and second bedroom that we weren’t aware of and no signage to alert you and we tripped on this and I hit my head on the bathroom door.

Only spent one night at Robinson Cottage which is an old property that has been renovated. Property matches the description and had everything we needed. A bit of a squeeze getting around the queen-sized bed in the front bedroom but otherwise very functional. Good kitchen with room around the table. TV signal weak but internet quite fast (~20Mbps) so we could stream via a laptop. Unfortunately IMBIBERS which is a Wine, Cheese and Spirits Merchants right next door was closed on the day we stayed but looked like a nice place to visit.
