A beautiful weekend getaway.
This was my first time staying in the area & had no idea how beautiful it was. And probably wouldn't have experienced it had we not stayed in this house. It is in such a perfect location to walk around & experience the magic of Lake Wendouree. The house was very clean & beautifully decorated. We had a few extra questions prior to check in & the communication was quick & helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

We had an incredible experience during our stay! Phillip truly went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Our young daughter was delighted by the ducks near the property and the fun games provided. Unfortunately, we accidentally left our blender behind, which we needed for our daughter's smoothies. However, Phillip demonstrated exceptional kindness by promptly sending it to us in Melbourne through Aus Post. We are absolutely thrilled with our experience and will unquestionably return to this amazing property. We highly recommend both the accommodation and the wonderful host, Phillip.
