The check process was simple and Brooke was easy to communicate with. The apartment was exceptionally clean and the TV and Netflix were perfect. The grounds were pretty and it was walking distance to the hotel, where meals were good and great value. I would highly recommend this place to stay

Perfect location to Willow & Stone Estate for our event. Better than I expected. Clean and well presented with everything you'd need for a short stay. Extra parking behind the residence.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this accomodation. The apartment was spacious and had everything you needed for a family for a short or long stay. It was presented well, and very clean. Great location to attend the Sovereign Hill Winter Wonderland event. Split system in each room, although we did find the lounge room one didn't heat up very well, maybe due for a service. It was freezing overnight and were happy our young children had a nice warm room to sleep in. Pillows and beds were comfortable and doona nice and fluffy! We didn't realise it was a double story apartment but I may have mis read the description. Just good to know if you have very young kids, as we had a 1 year old who was walking. Not ideal but we made do for our short stay. We will definitely love to book again for next year!

Excellent place to stay. Double storey unit is spacious and perfect for four people. It had a fully equipped kitchen and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic—just a short walking distance to Sovereign Hill. Highly recommend!
