• Testimonials

  We were thoroughly impressed with our stay at 131 Kendal in Cowra. The apartment was very spacious and well appointed, with everything we could want for our weekend away. The bedrooms were comfortable and well furnished, and the living rooms functional and restful. Located in the middle of town, we were central to where we wanted to go to. We look forward to our next visit to Cowra and will definitely be staying here.
