Feel the serenity

We stayed overnight between fishing days. Close to Creswick and Ballarat, this lovely cottage is peaceful and comfortable. Great kitchen, comfy chairs and beds, close to so many things. And great provisions in the fridge and cupboard. Do yourself a favour and spend a weekend ( or a week) here.

Lovely Retreat on the Edge of Town

A great stay in a well set up property with everything we needed. Our host was friendly and we were very comfortable. The bushland setting is fantastic - watching the birds from the deck was a pleasure.

Quiet stay in bush setting

This was our second stay at this property and we would stay again without hesitation. It is in a beautiful bush setting and hence very quiet and yet close to Creswick if needed. We felt very comfortable there.

Quiet cottage in excellent location

We loved staying at this quiet cottage . It was surrounded by bushland but only a few minutes drive to the centre of Creswick. It was very clean and our host had provided some lovely dips and biscuits which made us feel welcome. We would definitely stay there again.

Rural wedding

My husband, myself & our friend were warmly welcomed by Julie & Greg on arrival! We found the accomodation clean, the kitchen well appointed & overall perfect for our needs. We went for a walk in the bush behind the property & had dinner at a pub in Creswick on our 1st night. We explored Creswick town & surrounds, then attended a wedding on our 2nd day, which was only 10 minutes drive away! Would come back again!

Great house and location

The house was very clean and tidy. It had all the necessary furniture, kitchen appliances and utensils, linen, etc. The reverse cycle split systems kept the place nice and warm. We were very comfortable. Excellent location in Creswick that is very close to the main street and allows exploring the surrounding area. We had the best pizza ever at 84 on Albert. I'm very happy with our short holiday.

Great place to stay

It is a very pleasant bush setting. It is within easy reach of the town. The facilities are modern and very well looked after. There is plenty of room in the house and no passing traffic. If you don’t want to cook, there are plenty of nearby eating places. Blampied, a 20 minute drive has the best pub food we have eaten in our extensive travels.Julie is a very hospitable host and is not intrusive, but will answer any questions. We had a great time there and would have no hesitation about recommending it. If you have children there is plenty of room for them to play.

Secluded in bush setting in cute Creswick and convenient to Ballarat

Our second time here. The property and host are wonderful. Think - waking up to birdsong, drinking your coffee while looking over the bush and barbecuing with your family. The property itself is well appointed with bonus goodies to make your stay extra special. Very comfy beds, convenient parking and easy to manoeuvre for my father who uses a walker (only a couple of steps to get on to the porch). Julie the host is pleasant; welcoming, communicative, generous, relaxed. She was relaxed about check in and check out, popped past to make sure we were happy, and invited us to help ourselves to berries in her garden. Creswick is great to explore on foot - full of history and charm, but still has a small town feel.

Relaxing and secluded

We had a lovely overnight trip during winter. Nice and cosy and enough space for a family of three. Had a lovely walk through the bush literally at the doorstep. Board games at night was a fun activity in the evening. Thanks Julie!!
