Beautiful stay

We absolutely loved every bit of our stay, the house was amazing, clean and cosy. Geoff is a wonderful host. Loved waking up to kangaroos in the backyard and even in the evening they were still there. Definitely need to revisit again soon, as 2 nights wasnt long enough.

Wonderful Long Weekend

We absolutely loved our stay here to celebrate my husbands birthday. It felt like a home away from home and everything we could have needed was provided. The gourmet food hamper was a delightful touch. My five year old daughter said "I love this holiday house mummy, can we stay here forever" that pretty much sums up our stay.

Wonderful Relaxing Stay

Bluegums is just an amazing property. Well decorated and set up for a very comfortable stay. We have stayed at other places in Hepburn but none have been any where near as good as Bluegums. My husband loved it and so did the children. Loved the "welcome" hamper of local goodies - a really nice touch. And the spa tub is more than big enough for two!
