Ad advertised. The 3BR cottage we stayed in (and inclusions) is clean. It is a very good base to various tourist spots. Liked the summit walk, summit has a pretty view of the inlet. We saw kangaroos parading on the ground, popped by the livestocks pen (alpaca, sheep etc.). Missed the wombats, maybe next time. Earl has been great, very easy to contact and attentive.
None. A few might comment about some sections of the cottage being old but for us it adds to its charm. It is clean most importantly and upgraded where required.

Newly renovated. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Quality linen and comfy bed. Beautiful views. Quiet and serene. Coonara fireplace and wood & fire starters provided - great touch! Loved chatting to the llamas and goats, and feeding a visiting rosella on the deck. Great communication w owner, contactless check in was a breeze.
It was all perfect! The only misgiving was that there was no hairdryer, but that was really neither here nor there.

Such an incredibly comfortable and beautiful stay. The scenery was breathtaking. Our family had the best stay and will be back! Special mention to George and his partner who are the property managers. So friendly, communicative and available to us. Our family hit a deer 10 mins down the road and they came to the rescue without hesitation! You won’t regret your stay here!

Amazing location for a relaxing time with family and friends, it has beautiful views of Lake Eildon and a lot of open spaces for a peaceful walk or fun and games with children.
The rooms look quite dated and need some TLC to be comfortable, but considering the recent rains the approach road and its washed out condition is still acceptable.

Stayed for 3 night with the cat and dog. Chalets very clean. Absolutely mesmerising views. Only got thru 2 chapters of my book. Beautiful walks around the property. Lovely caretakers. Goats. Chooks. Birds. Kangaroos. Breathtaking scenery. Enjoyed it and already rebooked for 6 weeks time. Highly recommended.
The bed was a bit hard.

We spent 5 nights in one of the chalets, the view was stunning.Our furbaby had a ball. Earl and staff were friendly and helpful. Coming back when weather warmer to use the pool Bed comfortable, great pressure in shower.
Personally I had a hard time walking up/down gravel driveway

Peaceful farm outlook with beautiful view of Lake Eildon
Access road perhaps has a bit of wash out, in recent times, Perhaps, a little maintenance would greatly improve the drive. That said, consider this is part of a farm, it is still acceptable.

One of the nicest, most peaceful places I've stayed. Each chalet is really well placed for privacy and a stunning view. As far as I could tell, none of the chalets overlooked any of the other ones. Waking up to a mountain and lake view from your bed is magic. Huge bathroom with spa and separate toilet. Plenty to do close by (walks, lake, towns, brewery, etc.) if you can tear yourself away from the chalet balcony. Great kitchenette. Decent sized fridge. Excellent hot water service. Very cheap rates for what you get.
Lighting could have been a little brighter in kitchen and lounge. Not a big issue though, as there was a reading lamp.
