Super comfortable and convenient location.
Lovely property, tree lined and spacious yard for dogs to runabout. The actual unit deck gate was not suitable for our chihuahuas as they escaped given the slats are too far apart. Would be great to continue the fencing used as part of the gate as a fixable solution. Location was super convenient to hotsprings and main township. Host is super lovely and accommodating. No modern amenities though very comfortable for a short stay. Great option to rent out all 3 units for a weekend away with friends.

Metung Visit
We had a Jack Russell which meant he could still get under the gate at the front of the enclosed decked area of the cabin. Back area is completely open garden, not fenced off. Cabin was older, but clean and cosy. We only had an over night stay. Location good, few mins drive to town.

A great break
We really enjoyed our stay [with our dogs] at Maeburn cottages. Dorothy was a great host and very attentive to our needs. The cottage was warm and cosy and the bed comfortable. One thing to note is that our cottage had a fridge but no freezer component, so if you need ice you will need to get it at the general store. Metung is a lovely place to stay and the cottage is located relatively close to the village [a nice walk along the lake for about 15 to 20 minutes or a less than 5 minute drive. We highly recommend Maeburn cottages.

Fabulous cabin, great location, friendly host
First the little things that could be improved: There was poor light when driving in at night, it needs a strong sensor light out the front and side. We couldn't see a number on the cabin so we weren't sure we were at the right one. Inside the cabin there was no information pack explaining things, the first time I haven't seen that. There are many positives, it's a great location, we arrived late and had to leave in the morning so didn't get the chance to explore, but if we're back this way again we'd definitely stay here again. I'd had a few hard beds on this trip but the bed was fabulous and comfortable in a great bed frame. Loved the bedside tables and lamps, plenty of room. We loved the timber look of the cottage and the Darcy Doyle prints. With mobility issues I appreciated the ramp instead of steps. The bathroom was great, and it was awesome to have a laundry to do some washing, and a dryer. We asked Dorothy if we could have some friends over for dinner and she said yes and we had a lovely time of fellowship with them. Dorothy was great with communication and very friendly. I totally recommend this property and Dorothy.
