A Magical Wildlife Getaway in the GrampiansAmazing, amazing, amazing! This cottage gave us one of the most memorable stays we've ever had. A wallaby wandered right onto the property and had a drink from the birdbath only metres from where we were sitting on the deckng—an absolutely breathtaking moment.As the evening settled in, we watched cockatoos gather in the nearby trees, getting ready for the night. The views of the mountains changing colour at sunset (and again at sunrise!) were simply stunning. It felt like nature put on a private show just for us.The Easter eggs left for us were such a thoughtful touch, and the cottage itself was incredibly comfortable and relaxing—exactly what you hope for in a peaceful escape.A truly special spot.
