Comfortable accommodation. Only negative is the extensive invasion of earwigs inside the property and this requires attention.

Great place to stay
Loved the house and was very clean and beautifully decorated. Very comfy beds. Was very pleasant sitting on the porch having breakfast overlooking the sheep and the odd kangaroo. Had everything we needed. Lovely quiet rural position and close to Mintaro, Clare and wineries. Was great we could take our little dog who enjoyed it a lot. Can definitely recommend his stay.

Tickled about Tickles Cottage
A very comfortable place to stay. Loved sitting in the verandah, painting, drinking wine and soaking in the lovely country atmosphere. Also loved being out of the way but close enough to anywhere we wanted to be! Loved the Magpie and Stump Hotel too!

A comfy, cosy cottage.
The property was spacious with everything we needed. The weather was freezing cold but there was wood to make the fire & it was comfy & cosy. Our dog loved the freedom to run around outside. We had a fabulous time.

We supplied our own breakfast cereal, bread, milk, butter.
The location is great, the bed very comfortable and thank goodness for the air conditioners. For similar charges we have had more modern accomodation with welcoming bottle of port and confectionry along with a choice from a range of breakfast cereals.
The left side bedside lamp has a loose connection into the switch causing the light to flutter if the light cord was moved.
I greased the front door key lock since it was difficult to use the key.

This is a lovely cottage in a rural setting. Lovely view and amenities. A slow combustion heater in lounge with plenty of wood. Country kitchen with basic requirements plus Nespresso machine and coffee plunger . Wine from pikes to try too . Perfect setting for our few days .

Teakles cottage in May
A well-appointed old house retaining its charm with some modern conveniences. The heaters were very effective during our stay on a cold May long weekend and the fire in the lounge room was wonderful. Very quiet country location. The other rental property adjoins but did not impact our sense of seclusion. The Magpie and Stump hotel in nearby Mintaro is worth a meal or two - several small dining areas, fires and the locals at the bar make a great night out.

Absolutely perfect
Tickles Cottage is just beautiful. A lovely house, in a beautiful location, we loved everything about it. It’s even better than the pictures depict. It was so relaxing, sitting on the verandah, with kookaburras laughing, and we even saw a couple of kangaroos. The cottage is clean, has modern facilities and is very comfortable. The location is exactly what we wanted, a little bit rural but not too far from things. The pub is friendly, with good food and to be able to take our dogs away with us, where they were completely welcome, was fantastic. Thanks Margie, we will definitely be back!

Absolute perfection
We hired both this stunning, Tickle Cottage, along with Peppertree for bridal party accommodation for our nearby wedding. The close proximity of both cottages worked extremely well, with groom & groomsmen in Peppertree & the Bride & bridesmaids in Tickle cottage. Being slightly bigger, Tickle cottage provided plenty of room for all that goes with girly prep for the big day, and a beautiful setting for prep & pre wedding photos. Peppered while smaller was perfect for groom party use and pre wedding photos. Would highly recommend these cottages for any bride & groom planing a destination wedding in the local area and any getaways involving close friends & family.
