Thank you for sharing this little bit of heaven with us. Peaceful & rejuvenating. Spotless & perfect. Well equipped
with a lot of thought going into it. We had a wonderful stay. See you again soon. Thank you for your hospitality.
P.S. Loved the birds & all the little critters too. Saw a tree frog.
We planned to only stay for the weekend, but loved it so much we extended our stay by another night.
We will definitely be back. A real gem!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your magical place with us - it's perfect!
We had the most incredible time of rest and relaxation at Copperleigh Trout cottage. The views of the dam, sunsets, rolling hills and gorgeous scenery were spectacular! We wished we could have extended our little get away. The house was immaculate and catered for one's every need! We loved the fireplace! A big thank you to Ashley for his hospitality! We look forward to coming back again soon!
Digby & Nicole discovered Copperleigh in 2017 and have been coming back on a regular basis with Jo and Nige as well. It was our first time! It is a wonderful getaway and we have loved everything about it. From the superbly equipped house to the perfectly manicured garden and stunning waterfrontage. So cool to learn. More about sheep! Thank you - we'll be back!!
*What a find! It has been a wonderful weekend. This place is absolutely beautiful! We definitely want to return. Thank you!!
*Got to do some fishing with Peter and Luke. Managed to land 6 fish and lost a few. Beautiful Ashley.
*We all enjoyed our stay here in the well appointed house and beautiful surroundings - a real privilege. Fishing for us was tough but I was finally rewarded with a beautiful 50cm rainbow late on our last evening.
This is a magical place and we all hope to return again.
No fish, fab birds. Great thunderstorms at night.
Thank you.
What a lovely breakaway from city life! The cottage was so comfortable and well-equipped. We wanted for nothing! We enjoyed the dam and walking around the property! Met the dogs and visited the bunnies! Thank you for going the extra mile - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Yet another great escape to paradise!!
Weather not so great, but with such beauty and comfort in your cottage, we were all happy to be indoors!
Till next time :)
Wow, where do we start? So beautiful and serene. We loved the birldlife and all the dogs :) We could spend weeks in this cottage and this area but the journey from Sydney is a little too far.
Thank you Ashley for sharing this awesome place with us.

Can't wait to return!
Quaint corners, scenic drives, a range of places to visit. Blueberry Cafe at Netherwood Farm stands out as a highlight - for numerous reasons.
Nice little town, amazing pizzas at Postino Pizzeria.
Interesting places, stunning scenery, relaxing countryside, friendly locals!
Peaceful and beautiful country setting.
Dargle is close to where we live in Kloof but we feel like we are on holiday in the country side. We love walking in the forest at Crab Apple Cottages.
Horse play in Dargle.
