About this property

Casa Abierta - perfect for groups & families

Casa Abierta is an eco-passive home with a unique feel, surrounded by garden. The space is perfect for groups of friends and family gatherings in a peaceful setting.

Nestled within a tranquil bush setting, Casa Abierta is a double story house. It has six bedrooms, 2 lounge areas and an open plan design. This comfortable retreat offers ample space for everyone.

The ambience of the house is serene and restful, because of the layout and because of the use of timber, mud brick and straw bale construction. There are no streetlights or traffic sounds here.

Full-Scale Kitchen: Prepare meals in the expansive kitchen, while the dining and living areas provide ample room for bonding and making memories.

Outdoor Oasis: Enjoy outdoor entertaining with a BBQ area and fire pit, creating the perfect setting for marshmallow toasting and quality family time.

Enjoy the ambience and beauty around you.

The small hamlet of Stanley offers a world of possibilities, and if you're seeking more excitement, the vibrant town of Beechworth is just a short 10-minute drive away. Here, you'll find an eclectic array of shops, tourist attractions, exceptional dining venues, and a multitude of scenic walking and cycling tracks. Plus, you won't want to miss the delightful Stanley Pub, just a leisurely walk from your doorstep.

Casa Abierta is a non-smoking space.
Please note that there is a one-off pet fee if you are staying with pets.

Our minimum booking is for 2 nights.

THE LOCATION:
Stanley village is just over 8 kms from historic Beechworth, in NE Victoria. This is orchard country, known for fine food and wine, walking, cycling and mountain bike riding. Casa Abierta is on the outskirts of Stanley, within reach of the local pub and other local curiosities, either by foot, bike or car. Come and experience slow living in a beautiful natural environment. A place to unwind and share time with loved ones.

THINGS TO DO:
Borrow a book. Play hide and seek, or a game of croquet or badminton outside. Throw a frisbee or kick a ball in front of the shed. If you are lucky you might chance upon a Tawny Frogmouth, Koala or local Wallaby. There are usually Crimson Rosellas, Kookaburras, Sugar Gliders, Wood Ducks and Frogs. At night there are Boobook Owls. Bring your bikes if you like cycling, and walking shoes to explore suggested walking routes. A 5 minute potter to the Stanley oval and tennis courts, and a 10 minute stroll to the Stanley Pub, for family or fine dining. For cafes, shops and a variety of restaurants, venture 10 minutes by car to Beechworth.

USE OF THE PROPERTY: Our house is a holiday let. We host one set of guests at a time (i.e groups of friends or a couple who want to have time away together in a romantic location).

Guests will have access to the whole house and garden.

Please advise your group dynamics, ie how many singles, doubles, children and infants. Extra set up may incur a further surcharge.

If you have sudden additional guests in your group, please advise us.

Absolutely fabulous place to stay with a big group. Plenty of space and very well appointed as far as crockery, pots and pans, glassware etc only one criticism you could really have a couple of non stick frying pans but overall a great place to stay and we all had a wonderful time.

Review of Casa Abierta

Our stay at Casa Abierta was perfect. The house is very spacious and the firepit was a lovely treat. The communication from Jen was excellent, and she even went the extra mile to make sure the WiFi was working. 10/10 would stay here again, especially now the Stanley Pub is back up and running!

This place is an absolute treasure nestled in the foothills.

This property we named our ‘hidden Tuscan Villa’ as the beautiful Silver birch garden, grapevines and green rolling hills made it feel like an international destination. Neat and clean with fully stocked kitchen. We were able to relax and unwind. The eco friendly thermo regulated mud brick home stayed beautifully warm and communication with hosts was simple. We loved the array of books to read and the plentiful tea and coffee supplied. Would love to return again

Nice position. Winter stay. Stayz sent incorrect check in instructions which took some time to fix up. The house downstairs was really cold the first night as the logs for the fire weren’t seasoned. We bought some firewood the second day and the house warmed up downstairs Upstairs is heated by one aircon in the living space and all but one bedroom took 24 hours to get warm enough because the air had to travel down a corridor We had a large column of ants the first night on the kitchen counters.The house is in a nice spot and the owner and manager were helpful. I think though for the price it wasn’t great value; it is tired and cold. The kitchen was well equipped We were grateful the property was dog friendlyA summer stay would I think be alot nicer and the garden and wildlife were great.

Good / Bad & The Ugly

Overall, this property is fantastic. It's homey, warm, and peaceful, nestled in an array of beautiful trees and green lawns. It has old-world charm. Everything you could need is here. It is a great property and I can recommend it.The bad was that it had too many private doors, and that is a security concern. Around four rooms are marked as private. I totally get it. However, this created angst for my wife and daughters. Whatever is in these rooms should be moved out to perhaps the garage or shed for storage. We can't stay again for that reason only.

Gorgeous property & ideal location

Serene spot in the wonderful little village of Stanley, 10km from Beechworth. The house is as good as it looks, perfect for our large family group to gather, to cook together, to play boardgames and relax. The cottage garden surrounding the house is beautiful. The house is generously furnished and has everything you need for a few days away. Our border collie loved the grounds too. We will be back.

Beautiful surroundings

We had a a lovely couple of nights in Stanley and the house accommodated us perfectly for a family get together. It was warm and cosy with just the log burner on and had plenty of space and a very good kitchen. The grounds are beautiful, surrounded by nature. So close to Beechworth, we popped in there for breakfast. Only disappointment was we couldn’t get into the Stanley pub for dinner, need to book in advance as it’s small and popular.

Family birthday get together

We couldn't have had a better house for a get together with the family. The kitchen and living area allowed us to cook, eat, play and enjoy each others company. The outside area was also perfect to sit out in the sunshine and enjoy the peaceful country setting. A perfect house to gather with friends and family to enjoy wuality time together.

Lovely house in a lovely spot

We had a fantastic stay in the house and catered for our needs (3 families) very well. We all left excited that we might book again. One suggestion from our group is - One of the downstairs rooms has very little soundproofing between the ground floor and upper floor when people are moving around and using the upstairs bathroom so best for this room to be taken by a heavy sleepers.
