Wonderful Cottage
Wonderful cottage for a family of four, well located near the Hepburn springs spa, beautiful bush outlook, well appointed kitchen, bathroom and excellent veranda and BBQ deck area.
Viola is a lovely little cottage in beautiful surrounds - very close to everything you need. House was very clean and well stocked. Our dog loved it as well.

Situated up a hill with a lovely garden, it is quiet and private. We really enjoyed staying in this very cute clean cottage. It was well set up and owners very good at sending information. We felt really welcome and it was a short walk to springs.

Cosy Cottage
Loved our mini break with our two doggies!
So cosy, with the wood heater and heaters in other rooms to take the chill off the air!
Will be recommending to other dog owners.

Great old property
We really enjoyed our stay at Viola. It had everything we needed for a great mid week holiday. In a great location only a short walk to the mineral springs.
Thank you Brendan & Troy
We had such a wonderful time at Viola. It had everything we needed. Lots of little touches that made all the difference! Highly recommend this property to anyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We loved staying here. So much so that we were lucky enough to extend our stay. Close to everything, but secluded at the same time. The decor was just wonderful too, and the pillows and bed in the main bedroom were super comfy (these things make a big difference!). It was really special - and we even spotted an echidna in the garden.

Viola is really special glad you enjoyed your stay.
Very cute cottage in a peaceful location. We had terrible weather unfortunately so did not get out as much as we would have liked with our dog, but we enjoyed the local food and Netflix.

Peaceful and beautiful - feels like a true getaway
Took my Mum and Dad here with our pups for Christmas and it was truly special.
We loved the little touches around the house as well as the well equipped kitchen and living areas. The beautiful outdoor areas were well used for family dinners and drinks while listening to the peace and quiet of the Australian Bush.
