All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
A very well set up and charming cottage with the benefit of 6 bedrooms (noting that one requires a walk-through of another bedroom), with great outdoor/alfresco area. Had everything you need to use as a base to enjoy the amazing wineries & restaurants of the Yarra Valley.
The house was great for our family of 12. We went in July and the weather was cold but the house was warm and cozy. The spa and sauna were very popular. With the outdoor blinds and gas heater we utilised the patio all the time. Our host was always available to answer our questions
We had a great stay, walking distance down to the Main Street for cafes and shops. Very central for many of the amazing wineries the area has to offer. Thank you!
