No real complaints besides not having WIFI when listed as having it.. With very little phone reception this was annoying. Bed was okay but nothing special needs an update. Apart from that its was great.

Hi Luke, Thank you for your review of our property. I checked our Property details in Expedia. We only tick the option 'wifi at some public area' like swimming pool. However, Expedia just display 'have wifi'. Sorry for the inconvenience. We look forward to having you stay again. Kind Regards, The Sanctuary Park Cottages Team

A beautiful cottage on a lovely and quiet block. Nicely warm with the wood fire and reverse cycle air conditioner. The provision of bread, milk and spreadables was wonderful, and the full kitchen was very handy. I would definitely love to stay again.

The property was spacious, clean and well-kept. Beds were very comfortable. We had a relaxing time with friends and it was so easy to clean up after ourselves too. It was nice of the owner to provide milk, bread, and a bowl of butter/jam in the fridge and personally take care of missing bulbs. We waa excellent at communicating and replylied promptly. I would highly recommend to everyone.

This property lives up to its name... A sanctuary indeed! The grounds are picturesque and peaceful - we spend a fair bit of time just walking around and sitting at the lily pond. Our cottage was rustic and charming, bed was super comfortable and the spa a lovely way to end the day. Will definitely be back for a longer stay

The cottage and grounds it self was super cute, goats and bunnies, a beautiful lake and a wonderful view. When we visit Healesville again this will definitely be our accomodation choice! Thank you

3 Night Getaway - PERFECT !
This was a birthday gift for us both, and it was just perfect. We had cabin No. 6, called the Loft, it was basically a 3 level open plan inside wood cabin. There was a kitchen and lounge at the bottom, with TV and log glass front fire (lots of firewood provided), mid level was a large 2 person spa, and top level was the bedroom (bed very comfy). Top / bedroom level had a bathroom with shower (good temp and pressure), the Bottom level had a toilet (plus washing machine and dryer). Kitchen had everything you would need for a few nights - we had breakfast in (some basics are provided), lunch out, and then brought something back for dinner - plus a bottle of wine each night ! Oven and microwave are in the kitchen. From the verandah you can look out across a nice expanse of grass down to the large pond. Rabbits & various birds around the grounds. 5 min drive to Healesville Sanctuary, 10 min max into Healesville town - enough shops / cafes / pubs / restos to keep you happy. Owner (Grant) ~ very helpful and always available if needed. Highly recommended property by us for sure. Thank you Sanctuary Park Cottages for a great stay ! - Regards, Geoff & Louise

Will be back!
This place was fantastic, and we will definitely come back! There are 6 cottages on the grounds, close by to each other (but each private). Would be great for a large family/ friends get-together to hire them all out. Cottage 1 is most private w views over small paddock, then cottage 2 and 6. We stayed in cottage #2 (sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms, but there was just 2 of us) and it was perfect. Rustic country cabin vibes. Log fireplace that you can light with supplies left for you. Fully equiped kitchen so you can prep all meals. Comfy. Big spa bath (bubbles didn't work, but great to soak in). An array of DVDs and games for use. A great welcome book with information. Beautiful grounds to walk around. And only 5 minutes from the heart of Healesville. Fantastic communication. Oh, and also continental breakfast supplies + tea/coffee and 1L fresh milk provided.

It was a beautiful setting, relaxing and comfortable. Even though the cottage isn't 5 star it doesn't matter as it clean and the beds are comfortable. Breakfast was provided although very basic. I would go back for the quiet and beautiful setting on such large acreage of mature trees. A great place to unwind but also to launch from for what Healesville has to offer.

Glorious
Without a doubt one of the most glorious and cosy places to stay as a couple or small family. The hosts were so gracious and their communication style was wonderful. We had everything we could have needed in this secluded sanctuary. Lot’s of space to walk around the grounds and so many little animals to chat with. Would recommend to anyone.
