Really cozy place and a warm welcome from Heather. A great place to rest and recoup. Highly recommended. Note: If you have not used the Vrbo app before, perhaps download and create an account before booking. I booked a couple of stays (including this one) before I created an account and none of my bookings were accessible in the app despite using the same email address. It was only a minor inconvenience but it meant that I was not able to respond to messages from hosts or leave positive feedback in the app which is a shame because this place was great!

In Wagga for work and found the Gums to be a wonderful place to come home to at the end of each day. The cottage is generous and comfortable, and the bed was lovely. Thanks Heather for creating such a lovely stay.
