Amazing property for large (or multiple) families. We didnt take animals. But is a great property to take one with enclosed area out the back. Highly reccomend. Christine is easy to contact if you need anything. But you wont. Its all sorted out before you get there.
What a wonderful accomodation! The host could not have been more helpful and everything is considered to ensure your stay is comfortable. We hosted a family camp at The Gatehouse and would highly recommend to anyone considering visiting Beechworth. The accommodation is a short stroll into town and there is so much to do and see.
We had a wonderful stay at The Gate House! From the moment we booked, the host was fantastic with communication—friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful, which made everything smooth and stress-free.The property itself was exactly as described and even better in person. It was spotlessly clean, well presented, and clearly very well looked after. Everything we needed was there, and it felt comfortable and welcoming throughout our stay.You can tell the host really cares about making sure guests have a great experience. We truly enjoyed our time here, highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and well-maintained place to stay, and we’re already planning to book again soon!
Christine was a fantastic host who was super responsive and couldn’t be helpful enough. The property was excellent for a large family group (including several pets), with lots of character. The bedrooms and facilities were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our stay. The location was great, close to town and Sambell Lake, all easily within walking distance.

Thank you Amy for your great review. Please return with your family and pets. Cheers Christine
This was a perfect house for our large family of 15 guests. We had everything that we needed and despite the very low temperatures overnight we were comfortable and warm.
My family of adult children plus my elderly parents stayed at the Gatehouse over the Easter long weekend and had a great time. Having 6 large bedrooms was perfect for a big group and Christine was excellent to deal with.
The property was well set up for a larger group (there were 16 of us). Great location, reasonable cost, easy to find and park and excellent communication from the host. We would certainly stay at the Gatehouse again!
The property was great for our family of 8 adults & 7 kids. The early check in & late check out was very much appreciated. The location was close to town & other attractions. We all enjoyed our weekend.
Very relaxing place to stay. Warm and family friendly for all ages. Very easy to manage large numbers sharing the spaces, but also enough room for quiet time. No worries about "precious" things needing constant vigilance. Lots to do in the town and the immediate area around the Gatehouse. Fabulous walks. Highly recommended!
Had a great time here. Lovely house, beautiful surrounds. A few issues which we reported to the manager who was very helpful and responsive and appreciative of our suggestions. Would happily stay again.
