The Story of Cranky Rock

So we named the Cottage ‘Cranky Rock’ because it took 4 hours with a bulldozer to sit the 25 tonne boulder up in place. It was a hectic day and we hadn’t anticipated the length of time that it would take…the bulldozer operator was particularly cranky that day so we named the rock in his honour.


Our beautiful Built pioneer cottage is styled with rustic Australian hardwood, stunning fireplace and sprawling verandahs. It’s a couples only retreat to escape gremlins. You can always book a camping posse with the kids. Amazing views from the sun drenched deck with lovely natives that bring the wildlife.
