Thanks Scott, pleased to know that you enjoyed your stay. The views on those frosty mornings certainly sparkle and I counted 9 kangaroos in the paddock this morning now it has rained.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay. The house was clean and cozy and wished we could stay longer!

So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Cow Grass Ruby. Having a warm house to return to after a snow excursion seems to be very popular with our guests. The frosty mornings are cold outside but very beautiful across the hills and valleys. Hope to see you next year!

Another Great Weekend @ Cowgrass Lodge
Our family had a great return visit to Cowgrass last weekend (Aug, 2016).
Cowgrass is comfortable, warm, well appointed and in a beautiful area and location. I would strongly recommend a stay here for a quiet, private stay with a moderate level of luxury.

Great to have so many guests returning so frequently, we must be doing something right!
Absolutely fantastic place. surrounded by hills, grazing cows made for a great relaxing view, the place was spotless, immaculately presented. It has all you need. Local wildlife included Kangaroos, Kookaburras, cows and birds. Truly a relaxing place to stay to getaway or for for a trip to Mt Buller.

So glad you enjoyed Cow Grass Gabriel, we love showing off our bit of Victoria and all it offers. Appreciating country life and all its sights in comfort is what we aim for, so good to know it performed on cue!
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. The owners keep the property immaculate. The views are stunning and in the nicest possible way, the photos do not do the beauty of the property justice! We spent 3 nights and wished we were staying for longer, what a perfect spot, we will definitely be back.
I couldn’t think of a better place to spend four nights. The views are jaw dropping but the energy is perfectly peaceful. One of the best family getaways we’ve had. NB

Thanks Nick, so pleased you and your family enjoyed Cow Grass again. We love sharing our great environment with our guests.
We really enjoyed our time at the very well appointed Cow Grass Lodge. Great spaces, extremely comfortable beds and chairs. Lovely wood with plenty of wood provided. Very thoughtful supplies - esky and gold out chairs, towels for a river swim, pantry essentials and cooking extras. Toys for the kids. We loved walking around the property and seeing tabbies in the dam, wombat holes and cows to greet us. Even spotted a dingo from breakfast. Nicely tucked away but not too far from anywhere. We loved it and would stay again.

Excellent property
There was 7 of us staying, plenty of room to relax. The underfloor heating is fantastic, no real need to light the fire but you must have a fire going while you are lying on the couch reading and drinking wine!
Quality all through and a fantastic kitchen, everything you could want for cooking up a storm.
