The location is private and scenic, the water is beautiful and the cottage is comfortable. You can tell someone has put in a lot of blood sweat and tears to make this spot the best it can be. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Had a great 4 nights here with family. Property is incredibly peaceful and set in stunning woodland. Really felt like getting away from urban life. The cottage is very rustic, somewhat basic inside but clean and functional. The ladder to the attic needs to be approached with care. The views from the living area out into the woods and river are spectacular. Sunroom was a beautiful space. Toilet is an out door hole in the ground, 30m from the property, but done well and clean. You are discouraged from using the internal compost toilet. We saw no trace of mice. There is a trampoline,swing and treehouse which our kids 3 and 6 loved and played on all week. Mosquitos are ever present but not a massive issue with repellant, we sat out most evenings. Main disappointment is the river is relatively fast flowing and there is a rapids about 100m downstream. Swimming is therefore not possible unless you are confident, and certainly not for kids. We messed around in the canoe but this did limit options. The rapids are themselves beautiful, and easily reached from a path through the grounds. The entire deck area flooded with around a foot of water overnight one night, which there was no warning of, but had cleared by lunchtime. Fortunately nothing washed away. Overall loved it, but next time would look for somewhere with safer swimming. Despite this our kids were never bored. Would fully recommend for anyone who this isn’t a concern for, who wants to get off the grid.

The property is located in a beautiful area, but you need to be quite careful when driving up to it - low cars would absolutely NOT be able to safely arrive. The deep woods means lots of mosquitos in July, so hiking wasn’t possible for us. The current was strong so swimming and canoeing were also a no. But, the fire pits outside and general view were spectacular. The sun room was great for being outdoors sans insects, but the whole group got eaten alive anyways and we didn’t use the outhouse as a result. We had no problems with electricity, but didn’t have water by the last night of the trip and that was incredibly challenging and gross. While the cottage itself was beautiful, the absence of fans was incredibly difficult in the humidity - many of us didn’t sleep very well as a result. Expectedly, there were mice but we remained diligent about keeping things clean and stored properly. This is a good place to be in nature and unplug with virtually no one around. The kitchen is very well stocked for all of your needs and the barbecue was great. While I would recommend a stay for experienced cottagers, the glamour of the photos does not indicate how physically comfortable you’d be.

Yolanda and Carlos were terrific hosts - always accessible. The Moon river had a strong current and there’s a small waterfall about a 100 metres on the right - so watch out while using kayaks and going too far. Use the property as the boundary. Internet is good. Good LED lighting. No TV. Bring a back up storage battery and a projector if the kids want a movie night. That’s what we did. Kitchen is well equipped. No microwave (because of the power limit). BBQ is in good condition. Don’t use the Brush. Use an onion dipped in olive oil to clean and season the grill. Hope you enjoy your trip as we did. Thank you Yolanda and Carlos!!

We had a wonderful time at Over the Moon cottage. The water was calm during our stay and so clear you could see the bottom, excellent for swimming. The setting could not be more peaceful and serene. The children (ages 7 and 9) loved playing on the rocks along the shoreline. Yolanda and Carlos were fantastic hosts, and very easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely love to come back!
