Very good

We loved the pool and appreciate the cleanliness of it. Property was spacious and allowed our dog to freely roam and be inside without being on carpet. Sun room was perfect for her crate. Whilst the house is older, it was all clean and immaculate. Gardens are big and pleasant, could have had a little shorter grass considering the snakes in area hide so easily.Neighbours provided an interesting history of the property that should be added for guests as it’s a charming story.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed at Chenu Homestead for 2 nights this past weekend. We had other accomodation booked, but unfortunately the other property had a problem and it was not an option for us any more. The staff at Gippsland Lakes Escapes (particularly dealing with Geoff) could not have handled this better by offering us another property. Chenu was our back up, but we all immediately walked into that house and fell in love. We all had the best weekend, had space to roam, beautiful scenery, great facilities and never felt cramped (and for 6 people in one house that is saying something!). All the appliances were top tier, the beds were super lux and comfy, the pool was big (with a 2.3m drop!), the TV was huge, the list goes on. Our group are extremely picky with our locations and have had some interesting experiences in the past, but as soon as we walked in we wanted to come back again and again! We hope to see Chenu again soon!
