Property was well look after very well maintained and the owner had really great knowledge of a nice place to eat. Very happy with our stay and will be back
This gorgeous cottage is situated in the most sumptuous grounds. Enjoyed a great stay with my 16yo. The house had everything we needed, including very generous breakfast offerings. The beds were super comfy. And to top it off our host even gave us a lift back after we did a great walk to Cockatoo.
Gorgeous cottage with everything you could need for a short or long stay. Convenient to Emerald township, it’s an excellent base for a Dandenong Ranges holiday.
Our young family had a wonderful stay here. The cottage provided everything we needed and the breakfast provisions were exceptional. The location ticked all of our boxes. We will be back!
Our stay was wonderful. Amazing place to stay with kids. So clean and beautiful. Everything was provided to us, great service. The owner is a very nice lady. We loved it and will come back.
A fabulous mini break. The property is amazing. It has everything we needed and more and is impeccably kept. Beautiful views, so I felt relaxed as soon as a arrived! The kids loved feeding the horses and jumping on the ginormous trampoline! We will be back.
Beautiful property, everything had been thought of. Made for a fantastic night away with friends with delicious ingredients ready for our breakfast, thanks!
My friend and I had the most relaxing stay. Every necessity was catered for with the most relaxing environment.
I couldn't fault it in any way. Thankyou so much for such a wonderful weekend
We stayed for a long weekend and loved it! Breathtaking views, well equipped cottage and the kids loved feeding the ponies.Some of our highlights were the great breakfast provisions, gas log fire, books & magazines, toys & games, bathrobes & slippers, wine & chocolate on arrival, wifi & netflix, great linen and heated towel rail. Such relaxing weekend and the gardens were beautiful. Thank you Bec, all the little things makes it extra special! Highly recommend.
