Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is a charming house, full.of all sorts of antique furnitue and cute decor. The master bedroom, dining room and living room are particularly spacious so easy to get comfortable. Best part is the outdoor covered patio with a stunning view lookingo ver the mountains and fields full of kangaroos. Evelin and Rob kindly supply some bird seed so parrots and rosellas come right up on the porch. They are terrific hosts and very responsive to any question.A quiet, enjoyable retreat in the Dadenong region with easy access to all the activities.

Beautiful Autumn Setting

Lovely place. The autumn trees were just starting to turn red. Gorgeous outlook across the valley to the mountains.Fantastic heating, comfy beds and lounge chairs.The main floor is fully accessible to those not steady on their feet, including parking at this level. The owners are great to communicate with.
