Excellent location, quaint country cottage with beautiful garden. Lots of space for adults and teens to enjoy. Activities around were wonderful: walks, bike rides, skate park, Hotham Valley train - surplus enjoyment to be had. Cottage is clean and has most of what is needed. Was perfect for us, just what we needed.

Good but room for improvement
The bunk beds and the external room have cheap matresses on that sleeps horrible. One bed had breadcrumbs in on arrival. Other facilities are 100 percent.

Great getaway with the girls
We enjoyed our stay but as it is difficult for bnb owners to find cleaners, the house was dirty and lacking amenities. The owner repaid me for purchasing some items. The location is great and close to town.

We loved our Winter escape. The property was cosy & had everything you could ask for. We loved getting the indoor fire 🔥 roaring & just chilling. There are 4 bedrooms 2 x bedrooms with queen beds 1 x bedroom with bunk beds 1 x studio out the back with 1 x queen & bunk beds. The studio has no toilet or shower though & would need to come inside main property during the night The only downside is 1 x bathroom with 1 x toilet (especially when you have multiple people staying at the property. Having said that, we loved our stay & will be back next year!
