Absolutely gorgeous
We had a really lovely, relaxing stay at this gorgeous cottage. It had everything we needed, really clean and wonderfully cozy. It was in such a beautiful location and the gardens were lovely. It would definitely be somewhere we will come back to, perhaps late Spring/Summer to see the garden in all its glory. Our hosts were very obliging and helpful and I would recommend this cottage to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful relaxing break. Susan K

Unique
Anne and I (john) are passionate about Shady Brook. We believe we have develop a magnificent garden in a very unique location which we love to share with others. We are passionate gardeners, and enjoy the pristine mountain environment we live in. We are both involved in our local community and believe life is found in giving. Anne has poultry which adds to the setting as they wander through the gardens. We wanted to developed something that was more than just accommodation but an experience that will last and be shared. Anne and I do all our own maintenance and cleaning to ensure the highest standard.

Why they chose this property

shady brook is set in an unique spot right on the Ovens river on fertile river flat with very steep mountain taking off at the rear of our property. This has enabled us to develop lush special gardens with a fantastic array of autumn and spring colour, summer also with hydrangeas and dahlias and others also compete in this regard. Its ideally situated for nature based activities all year round.

What makes this property unique

Secluded relaxing fresh without pressure shady Brook aspires to be something special a place to mediate in and retouch those areas so difficult to do in our busy lives. Hear the birds, listen to the river, take scenic walks or just relax on your deck with a cuppa or a glass of wine watch the sun set over mountain ranges or the early morning dew catch the first rays of sun, its also special. Then do the tourist thing to wineries resturuants or what ever else maybe your thing
