Lovely spacious property in Harcourt

Perfect spot for enjoying the region

The house was perfect for our group of 7 (adults and children) with plenty of space for all, and every amenity we might require. Having the Harcourt Produce and General Store right next door provided a fuss-free and delicious start to the day, and host Kerrie provided lots of great suggestions for other places to visit and helpful advice. To top it off we couldn't have asked for better weather, so all in all we had a very enjoyable and memorable weekend away.

A really lovely place and full of beautiful things

This was a really lovely place and full of beautiful things. The kitchen was exceptionally appointed - you could cook anything here. Overall very cosy, fabulous spaces, superb sheets, and the unique handmade quilts were just so charming. We had a wonderful stay here. Sadly, the host initially blamed us for some damage that we weren’t responsible for. That was a shame.
