What a treasure Wongabeena is, Martina and Krees were very welcoming and wonderful hosts. Our accommodation was perfect and spotless with everything we needed plus more.Less than 10 mins out of Mansfield it suited our needs brilliantly. We highly recommend Anvil Brewing Co in Mansfield for beers, cider and scrumptious food. Definitely book this one!
Property was clean and easy to find. Martina and Kees were super welcoming and had warmed the place for us. Even though a very wet weekend there was plenty to do. Great views and lovely atmosphere. Would recommend for relaxing stay. Only down side is no oven.
Ideal for our personal needs “to get away and relax” for a few days.
Very quiet position with lovely outlook.
Very clean little apartment, no fuss check in.
We had the best short stay. Both Martina and Kees were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation was impeccable and the view amazing. Would recommend very highly
We had a fabulous and very relaxed weekend, loved the property, gardens & views. Martina & Kees are great hosts - left us to our own devices but we’re happy to chat when we saw them. We would definately return.
This is a beautiful property. It was better than expected. The kids got to feed and pat the horse, pick fresh eggs, be around Alpacas and the pony. Kiko the beautiful little dog was fun. The place was well appointed and the bathroom was excellent. 11 min drive to Mansfield town. Kees is a wonderful person. He showed us around the property and the different veggies they are growing and it was such a personalised approach. You can also do bushwalking as the forest is adjoining the property. Martina was very friendly and responsive to our email. We would definitely recommend the property fir someone looking for a farm experience.
We really enjoyed our short stay while we were visiting Mt. Buller. Well presented, clean, quiet and had everything we needed. The bathroom is amazing.

Peaceful area.
We enjoyed the brief time here. The accommodation was of a very high standard and the area quiet with lovely views and the forest next door was great for a walk. It was only a short drive to Mansfield and other places of interest in the area. Thankyou to our hosts who were very hospitable.

Wonderful Place
We had a lovely time. Martina and Kees made us feel very welcome and brought out toys and a swing for our children. The kids loved feeding the chickens and sheep and collecting the eggs each morning.
