Positions amazing!

We were very happy here and found the house spacious and clean. The heating was more than adequate, the kitchen well equiped and beds extra comfy. The amazing view of BULLER and the mountain range was truly stunning as were the king parrots that came onto the deck. An enjoyable place to stay in the high country.

Single night getaway with a group of friends.

We loved our single night stay in Tony’s double story home, the deck space gave us excellent space to enjoy the wide views. we chose to eat out in Mansfield during our stay which was 30 mins away, if you do like somewhere close to pubs and restaurants then surf to mountain probably isn’t the right choice for you.

Nice stay with some caution

Amazing place very spacious with well kitted out kitchen. House has a nice view to Mt Buller. The sheets were clean and house was clean. Overall the price wasn’t worth the $1000 a night we paid. Due to; - BBQ was pretty dirty and the collector tray full - There is a ring camera facing the jacuzzi which made us uncomfortable as they could access and see people in bathing suits. - Downstairs is a hit dull

We absolutely loved this property. The house was even better than it looked on the website and was perfect for our group of 10 people and 2 dogs. Plenty of space and everything we needed was there. The view from the deck is spectacular and the stars at night were incredible. We all wished we could have stayed for longer. Would love to come back and enjoy it all again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Fantastic house with everything you need provided

We came up for 3 nights with 2 families. From the second we walked in we were blown away by the magical views. The house was so comfortable and spacious. Everything was provided, the beds so comfy, plenty of games and movies and the kitchen fully equipped. We love when we can bring our Dog away with us and she loved the garden. Any issue we had, Tony was on the other end of the phone sorting it out. We had a great stay and highly recommend the property and can’t wait to come back next year. Ps did I mention the views??? They were incredible.
