Great location outside town, with beautiful tall trees, plenty of birdlife and kangaroos in the yard. The house itself was uncluttered and really comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen and the best beds we've come across! We would have given it 5 stars but for a couple of minor things: there were no chairs in the bedrooms and not enough toiletries.

Definitely a cottage vs. home. Good price and nice location but street is getting replaced so next month or two will be rough. Although technically accurate listing, bathrooms are poorly laid out. Master bath had no toilet because tub was so big it was in the laundry room with no vanity. Dryer vents into room so need to keep door open. If staying more than a couple days, bring extra toilet paper. No or shampoo in bathrooms.

Place was pretty run down, stove hadn’t been cleaned, only 4 sachets of international coffee supplied for 4 people no other condiments really, no or shampoo left in any bathrooms- and no spare toilet paper lucky we bought our own with us.Place was in a nice area and the price was reasonable for what it was. A bit cheeky tha we didn’t know until we arrived we had to go and collect bins from down the street and then return them there before checking out. The place has so much potential but needs updating.

Thank you so much... the location was perfect... it was a home away from home. We were able to enjoy our biannual trip away without partners or children. We are siblings and love coming to Halls Gap... it's our thing...

Cosy cottage perfect for family stay

We enjoyed our stay! The mountain views, green outlook and cosy fireplace were highlights. A couple of things could be improved: the green sofas don’t offer much support, and one kitchen table leg needs securing. Overall, a lovely house for an intergenerational family holiday.

Staying with ranging ages of family including elderly parents this house was perfect to cover all needs. Large shower was great for the elderly parents. Spa was a good touch and beds were excellent, Wood fire was fantastic and Foxtel/Apple TV was also a great touch

The property was exactly as described. Plenty of room, the bedrooms were all a decent size, the house was very clean, everything worked, and the wood burner was fantastic. The area is very quiet, no noise at night, so we all slept really well. We had 3 cars and trailers, and all fitted into the drive. The kitchen is fully stocked with crockery, utensils, pots and pans so we were able to be self sufficient. Although, the town of Halls Gap is just a 2min drive when we wanted to try a restaurant. We workshop hesitate to come back to the property next time we're in the area.
