Always a treat to wake up to the stunning views of Strzelecki and local wildlife from this private and comfortable home. The house had everything we needed, and the host was lovely and easy to contact. Thank you!
Very good communication with the host prior to our stay. The house was lovely. The most amazing thing about it is the wildlife that is present. There are wallabies and wombats and we even saw one echidna. The location is superb and we walked to the beach on a daily basis. You feel like you’re the only people on the island. Would definitely stay again.
Wonderful location and house. Thoughtfully set up. Each room looks out onto mountains and land with wildlife, so even the grey days are interesting. Would definitely stay there again.
Fantastic views of mountains and enjoyed watching wildlife from all rooms in the house. Easy walk to a great swimming beach and coastal walking trail. House had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Thanks Anne Maree and Dave.
As has been said before, the photos don't do Walden justice. The place is just so amazing! From the moment you drive in to the private and secluded property, you feel a sense of calm. The house itself is a wonder - from the fully stocked pantry to the spectacular views, particularly from the main bathroom! There are books aplenty, a great collection of music, regular visits from the local wombats and wallabies, and lots of different spaces for people to chill. But most of all there are those views of Mt Strzelecki and the close proximity of Trousers Point, which was a wonderful place for a swim or two. Can't recommend this place highly enough!
Walden is a simply stunning property settled into a spectacular location of the Strzelecki Ranges. The photos on the website can't do it justice as it's impossible to photograph the gravitas and wonder of place, inside and out. The ambiance of the home shines through and it was both warm and sophisticated. The views are extraordinary through the cathedral windows and the wooden features give it great charm. The abundance of wildlife and scenery made this holiday a very special one for all 4 of us. There was nothing about this home that has been forgotten. A fully stocked kitchen and additional pantry items, unparalleled main bedroom and bathroom views, comfy furniture, a great music selection and a fabulous library meant it was hard to leave the house. Dragging ourselves away from these delights, we had many walks to several beaches close by in the National Park and the two hardiest of our party had a very satisfying full day's climb up to Mt Strzelecki. Night time gave us the chance to see wombats, Pademelons and Bennett's wallabies by torchlight. Flinders Island charmed us and we are planning to return in the near future. Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime.
The best of every thing. Swimming, fishing, walking, running, relaxing, reading and the wild life. We loved everything about Walden and Flinders Island. Thank you so much for making our stay so comfy.
The property was above expectations. The view of Mt Strzelecki was fantastic. 5 minute walk from Trousers Pt beach was convenient. Great place to swim, walk and look for shells. 15 or so minutes in the car from Whitemark. The wildlife was abundant. The house was very cosy. Top spot
Thankyou Anne-Maree for a very comfortable stay.Superb views of Mt Strezleckie and interesting wildlife. We enjoyed our stay close to nature and wonderful setting close to trousers beach.
