Our recent stay at this property was absolutely wonderful! The house was impeccably clean and very comfortable. The owner, Vicky, was an amazing host—super nice and incredibly friendly. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. We truly appreciate her thoughtfulness and hospitality. We would highly recommend this property to anyone and hope to visit again in the future!

The amount of different teas and coffees and wonderful collection of CD, DVD, Books and games.It made our stay memorable. Thank you Vicky for everything!!
Staying at Montanya is the perfect family getaway. The kitchen has everything you need, the house is spacious for our family of 5 and the bedrooms are cosy and warm. Equipped with all the creature comforts of home, you won’t be disappointed. We have stayed multiple times for our annual ski trip and we will definitely be back!

Thanks Michael and family for your review . You were sensational guests and we hope to see you again .
I meant to give you 5 stars for communication but the last star did not register when I selected it. Star rating is very temperamental . Sorry
Montanya is great for a weekend on the slopes. Took the bus to Falls was really convenient. House is really well equipped, clean and comfortable. We had a lovely time.

The area is beautiful and the pool was great for an early summer swim. Wish we could stay even longer. We’ll definitely be booking again with wonderful host Vicky. So much more to explore in the area.

Thanks David , we are delighted that your stay was enjoyable and we hope to see you again one day . The new stereo unit is fabulous , providing bluetooth option and a choice of ( indoor and outdoor) speakers . This is by far our favourite addition to the property . Jeff and Vicky
Such a great property, it was absolutely perfect for our little group. Had everything we needed and then some. Great location if you’re going to be day tripping up to Falls Creek and has an awesome view as a bonus. Communication with the host was quick and easy and made the booking process and stay a breeze! 10/10
Very lovely home, beautiful area. Generous and conscientious hosts. No hot tub, as was stated on the VRBO site, owner did acknowledge this when asked in advance about it, but it should be corrected on the site. Some pictures of the site are quite old.
Probably the most comfortable, well stocked holiday house we have stayed in. Perfect for us and two young kids for our yearly ski trip. And the views are amazing. Perfect house to relax and cook in after a day at the slopes. The host is wonderful. We are looking to book again next year. Highly recommend

I was looking for a place for myself & my teenage daughters to stay for a long weekend away.
This was the perfect getaway!
Communication was spot on with great recommendations for local food spots.
The property was awesome & literally stocked for every occasion.
We are already planning our next trip!
Simply fabulous :)
Could not have asked for a better Location and Host.
House was really well stocked - amazing view - and Vicky went above and beyond through any communication.
Highly Recomend

Perfect Stay
Such a lovely place to base yourself for all the activities, walking/cycling etc in the area. Great contact and pre stay service and then it really was a home from home. All the kitchen equipment etc is of the highest order which is a huge bonus. Wonderful views all over and a beautiful meadow next door which contains probably every bird species known to man!!!!

Thank you for a very relaxing break. Vicky was very attentive. The house is just as advertised - a home away from home with everything catered for. It was comfortable and clean. Our girls loved having the pool house. The views are spectacular and the area has so much to explore. We would love to come back

Thanks Kirsty , you were wonderful guests and we hope to see you again .
We had such an enjoyable stay at this property. It suited our needs perfectly, being large enough for the family and nicely located not too far from Falls creek, so we could drive up each day. It was beautifully presented, particularly the kitchen/appliances and the bathrooms, everything was of high quality and worked well.
The communication from Vicky the host was perfect, very helpful and she responded immediately whenever we had any questions.
Can definitely recommend, particularly for families where older kids would love their own self-contained space in the pool house, separate from the main house. If we stay in this area again, we will definitely choose Montanya again.
