We stayed there 3 days on our honeymoon and we couldn't think of a better place to have it. The 2 tubs beside the river were just amazing and what a way to end each day we were there. Fantastic. There is also a fabulous outside shower that is so invigorating and what a view! the cottage doesn't have any... More

Cobb Quarters is a delightful historic cottage that has been restored with meticulous attention to detail and creative flair. Our stay was in winter so we loved the roaring open fire. The twin outdoor bath tubs are just fabulous! The cottage was well presented, clean, cosy and totally charming. We arrived feeling slightly strung out after a particularly hectic time... More

Completely normal, daily life for The Mapps, but really special for us: staying in the authentic cottage, take an outdoor shower in the morning with great view on the river and mountains, taking an outdoor bath underneath the stars, walking down the river, "climbing" our way through the woods, enjoy the evening at the lovely fireplace with a good glass...

Stayed here for 2 nights in May 2011, with my extended family. We had had a long drive to reach Spray Point Station, and arrived only after dark at around 9pm. Even though it was late, Jenny and her 2 children Ben and Sarah welcomed us warmly and showed us around the cottage pointing out how everything worked. As city... More

I booked 2 nights at Cob Quarters for a getaway for my partner's birthday. When you do that, you always cross your fingers that the photos are real, the location is where you think it is, and the overall experience lives up to your expectation. Spray Station met all of my expectations and provided the 'off the mapp' experience we... More
