Great little out of town stay.

Cottage was clean and tidy with everything you would need. Fresh eggs supplied by the resident chooks was a lovely touch.Great relaxing quiet setting close enough to the main city of Bendigo. Just a shame we had to leave early.

GREAT STAY

We stayed with our 2 dogs and couldn't have asked for more. Clean with all the necessities and the fact breakfast supplies were included was a big bonus. The cottage yard with access to the bigger yard was fantastic for the dogs. Would happily stay again.

The cottage was above our expectations. It was clean, tidy and welcoming, along with little added extras such as bread, milk and spreads for toast. There was no skimping on things such as tissues and we had everything we needed.

About the host

Hosted by Meagan and Mitch

Host profile image
Mitch and Meagan live in the main house on the property, the cottage is totally separated. We love the area as it is close to some very interesting historical towns. We can often be found in the many detecting areas close by, hunting for the elusive nuggets.

Why they chose this property

Great quite country area, short distance from lots of historical towns, lots of areas to go gold detecting and second hand shops.

We have Gold panning equipment for hire at no charge and can recommend some places close by.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is located on a 1/2 acre - totally fenced in area - pets and Children welcome. There is also a smaller fenced in area around the cottage. - you have your own space totally detached from the main residence.

The cottage is accessed via a private drive way - with plenty of parking space, feel free to bring along your boat or Caravan to be parked free of charge during your stay.

Working Chook House, Kids are welcome to collect the eggs and interact with the chooks.
