An absolutely beautiful, clean, peaceful and spacious retreat for a girl's mini getaway in Healesville! Highly recommend. The property feels private enough even though it shares the grounds with the main house. The overall aesthetics provide for a relaxing atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed the mountain views, visiting birds and chooks!We did battle with the stability of the detachable showerhead somewhat.The property has absolutely everything one might need, including clear and helpful instructions at every step. A lot of time and effort has gone into making this property an exceptional choice. Thank you Liz!

Peaceful and comfortable

Schofield Cottage was a great place to stay at Healesville. It was close to the shops but has the privacy and serenity afforded by being at the back. We really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to visiting again next time.

Schofield Cottage

One of the cleanest places we’ve stayed which is pet friendly. Liz was helpful and very accommodating. Bed was comfortable, lounge too, cute outdoor bbq area. Loved that the little things like tissues and napkins, milk & coffee were there upon arrival. Safe, quiet, stunning manicured lawns and some friendly chooks.

Lovely, quite property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Healsville. It was a lovely property and our little dog enjoyed the enclosed back yard. My only complaint would be the front stairs. I feel that there needs to be a ramp to access the front of the property, as for someone with mobility issues, it was a chore getting up and down the stairs.

Immaculate condition!

House was spotless and all finishing touches made it feel very homely. Attention to detail by Liz was incredible. The outdoor spaces were so useful; even though it poured with rain while we were there, we were able to use the verandah area and use the size of the property for short "walks" when the weather momentarily cleared.

The chooks made sure we knew where we were staying as they doddled around when we arrived. A beautiful setting, lots of space in the cottage and everything fresh & crisp ready for us to take up residence for a few days while we explored the area and enjoyed the ACO at TarraWarra Estate - delightful! thank you so much Liz

What a wonderful cottage, so warm and cosy. Liz was so easy to talk with. Our dog, Emily loved the freedom of the enclosed backyard. Very close to all the lovely cafes but still quiet and peaceful. Loved the free range chooks and spacious garden and parking. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to make our own meals. So omce again thankyou Liz for our amazing cottage.

Lovely getaway

We stayed for a couple of nights, enjoying the beautiful surroundings and dining experiences that Healesville has to offer. Our host was most helpful suggesting beautiful places to walk my dogs. The people at the local cafes and wineries were also very receptive to us bringing the dogs along. Although our cottage was well equiped (full kitchen, dining room, lounge room, outdoor dining area), we spent most of our time eating and drinking out and about around Healesville. It was foodie heaven! We also loved the friendly chooks and the array of bird life at the cottage. Overall, a great experience!
