Charming Cottage
This is the second time we have stayed at Dark Skies Cottage. It is a short walk to the shops. The cottage is comfortable and cosy with everything you need. I would recommend staying here and would stay at Dark Skies again. If you have mobility issues it may be difficult to get in and out of the shower as it’s over a deep bath.

A perfect family getaway
We stayed at Dark Skies with our children and loved the property and location. An easy walk to town and half hour drive to a number of beautiful bushwalks in the Warrumbungles. The house itself is very comfortable, beautifully decorated (love the plants), and warm for the colder Coonabarrabran winters. It was perfect for our family with kids (high chair, toys, books, plastic plates/cups etc plus a large fenced yard). Vanessa is a great host, communicative and friendly. We would definitely stay again 😃

Coonabarabran cycling trip
Stayed at Dark Skies for a week On October. The cotttage was excellent and fit for purpose for cyclists Plenty of outdoor space, a lockable laundry big enouigh to secure the 6 bikes we had. Rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. Updated kitchen and bathroom were well appointed, plenty of kitchenware available. The one downside was the condition of the bbq. Looked like it hadnt been cleaned for sometime and obvious the previous users hadnt bothered to clean. Other than that, its a great place to chill out and base yourself for a short or longer stay. Just a 25min drive to the Warrumbungles. All shops within a 15minute walk.

Perfect place to unwind between adventures in Coonabarabran
Loved the cleanliness and consideration of the small touches, tea/coffee. The electric blankets and heating were a very welcome on our frosty stay. Having off street parking and a secure backyard for the kids to run and play soccer was also brilliant. Would definitely return to this cute little house.

Had a wonderful two night stay at this cottage, which had everything you need to feel at home. Very well set up kitchen south had stove and dishwasher, full sized fridge, heating/cooling, electric blankets, bathrobes, and a washer and dryer. Couldn't have asked for more. Excellent quality, value and location. We would love to come back.
