Waterfront House to let for xmas/new year
A friend of ours has a 2 bedroom lake frontage house at Lake Conjola to let for the holidays. They would prefer no children but don't mind well behaved pets. Minimum of one week at $2,000 per week with a 50% deposit. This house is in a perfect location, absolute lake frontage, peaceful, but a short stroll to the general store and to the bowling club. There are photos on the Milton Country Cottages Facebook page. Contact us for details.

It is also more user friendly to book and has more specific detail about our cottage options. We will soon be adding some new photos taken by our friend and local wedding photographer Bob Milo from Insight Fotographics.
Grey-headed Flying foxes

flying foxes breed in the Yatte Yattah nature reserve and fly up to 50
kilometres at night to find food. Thousands can be seen flying over
Milton Country Cottages every night at dusk. With a wingspan up to a
