"I absolutely loved my stay at Millaa Millaa! If you are after a place that is close to all the waterfalls and nature trails in the area this is the spot. The location is breathtaking with views of the rolling hills all around. The place was very comfortable, clean and tidy, with a lovely new bathroom and a great little outdoor area with all BBQ facilities. There are also plenty of kitchen appliances and utensils for you to comfortably make meals. Nisha the owner is just wonderful, she’s so friendly and makes you feel right at home.
