Probably not exactly what we were expecting. Definitely read better in the promo for the place

Located only 5 minutes drive from Strahan, the Artists Cottage is a quirky, comfortable place to stay a few nights.

Tricky to find since the street number and cottage name was no longer legible from the street. Great reception from the ducks, however, their droppings rendered the deck almost unusable.

Great waterfront location. Inside, the cottage was very clean and had lovely athmosphere.

Although initially pleasing to be greeted by over 20 ducks, the duck poo and their insistence made sitting on the veranda impossible. Only one night stay so didn’t have anything to feed them and the tub labelled seed was empty. Mini bar ( on an honour system) did not exist.

Unique shanty style dwelling on the water front. Peaceful setting except for the ducks. Well appointed, clean and very comfy if small bed. Picture window to the water. Aesthetics matched the description.

Duck poo

Location and uniqueness. Beautifully decorated and so peaceful. Lovely experience and unexpected gem

Bathroom basin was the tiny one you sometimes find in toilets. No room for toiletries. We had to brush our teeth at the kitchen sink. Shower tiles had water coming up from beneath when we stood on them. No catch on bedroom window. Could easily be opened from outside.

Lovely waterfront location complete with friendly, hungry ducks.

If I was being very picky, the very cute ducks do make a mess on the veranda and it could do with a clean before guests arrive. I’m sure within 24 hours it will be just as messy

Everything, the bath was fabulous with excellent hot water. All round it was very cute and well thought through

Super cute and an interesting place to stay. Cottage was well equipped, stayed one night but a could have happily stayed longer. Enjoyed the ducks, the view and the fire pit

Very quiet location, bit out of town but beautiful spot

The description on Booking.com is something like "1 bedroom bed and breakfast" which is really confusing, had to re-check the property on Airbnb to make sure it suits us. The street sign begs for a facelift, can be an issue finding the place after dark. Don't expect absolute privacy as there is a host of cottages packed together, but absolutely no issues with neighbours in our case.

A small (but, importantly, not tiny) cottage with all facilities fairly close to Strahan jetty suited perfectly for an overnight stay (in our case before Gordon river cruise). Fifteen or so metres from the porch to the waterfront. Some artwork to look at and art materials to use. And a whole lot of ducks expecting to be fed (with the food provided)!

Very nice bath but couldn't find a plug. Only cutlery I could find was in a picnic basket. NBN was present but the password was not obvious. Tiny table

Comfortable bed, good shower.

If there was a welcome booklet/guide to say where you could find a lighter, use of fire pit, extra toilet paper, use of kayak, cleaning expectations etc. that would be helpful.

Beautiful home, well presented and in a perfect location.

It was all lovely including the ducks 😀

The cottage had lovely character and charm. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked our own meal during our stay. The bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in.

Stayed in April 2024

Storage for personal toiletries was lacking. The basin under the shelf in the bathroom was too low and the basin too small.

Location was great

Even with the instructions its a shade difficult to find once one arrives. A number on the back side of the home facing the road would help. We had a car so easy to get to downtown. Would be a decent walk if you didnt have transport.

Situated right on the water which was very pleasant . Had a family of ducks that came around in the evening and morning .

Lovely weekend getaway

Duck poo at the front door but it didn't worry my wife - she liked the ducks

My wife loved the art and craft supplies that could be used as part of the stay. It was a very beautiful outlook and place to stay.

Stayed in November 2023

If I have to say anything negative the lounge wasn’t really comfy and the step out of the bedroom into bathroom not great probably a little dangerous in the middle of the night but not too sure how you can fix this!

Very quirky and just beautiful. Our stay was great, everything and more than we needed. The ducks were very entertaining!

Fantastic little cottage in the best location! Beautifully restored miners cottage, all the mod coms, super comfy bed, very friendly and funny flock of ducks to greet and entertain you! Jay was very responsive and helpful. Very peaceful and highly recommended. Great tavern for excellent meals just a couple of minutes away. We loved our stay.
