Dragonfly Springbrook Cottage

Lovely cottage within walking distance to trails and a cafe with good coffee. Stunning verandah with lots of wild birds and rainforest views. Perfect for a family of four, not overly fancy but it was everything one needs. Private carpark in front. Lots of fantastic sightseeing options in the area, countless waterfalls, natural bridge, swimming holes. Can highly recommend.

Quiet. Cosy. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Birds and possums visit for a feed on the back verandah daily. Very helpful owner who is quick to respond. Right on the doorstep of a gorgeous national park with waterfall and tracks. Definitely coming back.

Great little place to stay lost power for a little while other then that very homely. Wild life come to visit at the back porch.

Top service keep going back there

We had a lovely time at the cottage. We really enjoyed our stay and being able to enjoy bush walks (Twin Falls Circuit including Rainbow Falls and also Purling Brook Falls Circuit and some other shorter ones). It was very relaxing to have a base to come back to where it was so peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed seeing the birds on the deck. The cottage has been done up in such an inviting way.
However, there were a few issues: The water filter did not seem to work as the water from the filter was almost just as brown as what came out of the normal tap. This was really a worry. I later saw some Brita filters below the sink, but was not sure how old they were and did not want to use them. You may want to bring your own clean water.
When I wanted to use the beautiful green blanket/cover (because it was too hot for a doona) I found it quite smelly and did not use it. It really needs a wash.

One star for the amicable refund. Beyond this, I’d give this accomodation 0 stars.
We booked through Stayz / VRBO and the accommodation was mouldy, musty and unpleasant.
Mouldy curtains, doors, fan, toilet and cooking utensils were completely disgusting.
If we had arrived and discovered this with enough time to drive back down the wet, hair pin mountain road before dark to find other accom, we would have. Instead, us and our young children slept in beds that were wet with humidity exposed to mould spores.
Such a shame as the location was lovely.
Owner must be aware of the horrible conditions as there was a dehumidifier in a wardrobe. It’s unbelievable that someone would rent out accom in this condition. AVOID AVOID AVOID
