Gorgeous House

charming cottage

I'm a bit of a cottage addict. What I loved most about this one was the enfolding greenery and the wisteria vine that wrapped around the verandah. The internet was poor when we stayed but I believe there had been a storm recently which affected coverage in the area.

Weekend away

The house was clean and neat. The house is not set up to lounge in or spend time in but more a come and go to sleep. This was okay for us as we were out and about all weekend. We travelled as 4 adults - the 2 males loved the rock hard beds and pillows but the 2 women struggled with them. Maybe bring your own soft pillow if you don't like a really hard one!

Beautiful, cosy place to spend some time in Beechworth.

Very easy process, simple. I made some changes to my original booking and there were no problems. All was changed quickly. Joanne was very obliging and made the whole experience a pleasure. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Get together with friends

Property was great for a weekend get together, Jo was quick in her responses if we needed anything. Large and spacious for socialising, only downside is the lack of comfortable seating. We spent most of our time sitting around the dining table due to 6 of us, the dining area could be utilised more for socialising space as the living room is the smaller out the two. Amazingly comfortable beds. Would love to know which pillows you had :)

Peaceful and relaxing property

What a great property, bright and open with a superb garden. Huge kitchen and living space. Heating worked a treat in the middle of winter and we were never cold whilst indoors. I highly recommend this home for anyone wanting to stay in Beechworth but don’t want to be right in the middle of town. Looking forward to coming back
