The Coach House

Description

The Coach House is a 2 storey, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom family holiday home located in the beautiful Stringers Gorge, Walhalla. Nestled above Stringers Creek and shaded by massive gum trees, it is private and secluded, yet only a short walk to the centre of town. It is Solar Powered and eco friendly. While the house is extremely cosy in Winter, you\'ll find it refreshingly cool in Summer as it is nestled deep in the cool and shady Stringers Gorge.

Wake up to the sounds of birds and see wallabies and lyrebirds in the wild. Explore the creeks and rivers, pan for gold, throw in a fishing line or enjoy a swim or a walk, while staying at this charming getaway. Situated in the beautiful Walhalla valley, The Coach House is just 2 hours east of Melbourne.

The property features a spacious master bedroom with queen sized bed, second bedroom with double bed and third bedroom with a 2 bed bunk featuring cosy wool doonas. All bedrooms are upstairs and lead off the lounge with views across the gorge and down to the Tourist Railway. (The steam train runs on weekends, Wednesdays and public holidays and is a must for the kids).

The Coach House features a very comfortable lounge and an efficient wood fire ensures a cozy retreat. LPG gas ensures you the luxury of a hot shower, gas cooking and heating. There is a pool table and piano in the downstairs lounge, while upstairs there is a well stocked games cupboard plus plenty of books and puzzles for kids and adults. There is a radio/CD player if you\'re craving the more modern creature comforts. Otherwise, sit around the piano for a sing-along or crank up the Gramophone and enjoy some 1920\'s \"Ragtime\".

There are 2 lounge rooms and 2 dining areas so there\'s plenty of room to spread out, not to mention plenty of outdoor space and furnishings including a dining setting, lawn chairs, BBQ and a hammock to really get into the swing of things! Enjoy a game of Bocce or Badminton and watch the steam train as it chugs by just a stone\'s throw away.

Downstairs is a well stocked kitchen/dining room with a modern gas fridge, gas oven/cooktop, plenty of bench space and a dining table and chairs for up to 8. The downstairs bathroom features a deep bathtub and seperate shower and there is a seperate toilet and wash-stand off the downstairs lounge room. This second lounge room has apiano and pool table and features views of the historic railway line. Polished timber floors and Middle Eastern carpets are another highlight of this rustic retreat. It is a genuine getaway-from-it-all experience.

The downstairs gas heater takes the chill off in Winter, and there is a phone connected for local, emergency and incoming calls only. There is ample parking, a gas BBQ and outdoor furniture for guests to enjoy the bush scenery, birdsong and fresh mountain air.

Outdoor activities include bushwalking, fishing, bike riding, 4wheel driving, swimming, panning for gold or just relaxing in the beautiful garden listening to the birds and and watching the steam trains pass by. ( )

In Summer, swim in the local swimholes or take a short drive to Coopers Creek where there is excellent swimming for kids. Go kayaking or just muck about in the mini-rapids on the lilo.

In Winter, the snow fields of Mt St Gwinear are just half an hour away with excellent snow for tobogganning, cross country skiing or snow shoeing. The slopes are not at all crowded so it is a great place for beginners or small children to get their first taste of the Victorian snowfields. Slopes are patrolled and there is a heated shelter for day trippers. Equipment is available for hire from Erica just 20 minutes away.

The New South Face Road is now open and gives easy access to the Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort and all that it has to offer, just 45 minutes drive away.

Alternatively, just relax on one of the comfy couches or armchairs and read a book or magazine from the extensive collection available. Stretch out on the Persian rugs or laze away on the bean bags in front of a roaring fire with a glass of wine. Enjoy a hot shower or a long soak in the \"Captain\'s Bath\". When it comes to bedtime, enjoy the comfortable mattresses, luxurious doonas, pillows and hot water bottles, all supplied.

(Linen is available for hire for $20 per person for up to 8 people).
