Place was pretty run down, stove hadn’t been cleaned, only 4 sachets of international coffee supplied for 4 people no other condiments really, no or shampoo left in any bathrooms- and no spare toilet paper lucky we bought our own with us.Place was in a nice area and the price was reasonable for what it was. A bit cheeky tha we didn’t know until we arrived we had to go and collect bins from down the street and then return them there before checking out. The place has so much potential but needs updating.

Thank you so much... the location was perfect... it was a home away from home. We were able to enjoy our biannual trip away without partners or children. We are siblings and love coming to Halls Gap... it's our thing...

Cosy cottage perfect for family stay

We enjoyed our stay! The mountain views, green outlook and cosy fireplace were highlights. A couple of things could be improved: the green sofas don’t offer much support, and one kitchen table leg needs securing. Overall, a lovely house for an intergenerational family holiday.

The property was exactly as described. Plenty of room, the bedrooms were all a decent size, the house was very clean, everything worked, and the wood burner was fantastic. The area is very quiet, no noise at night, so we all slept really well. We had 3 cars and trailers, and all fitted into the drive. The kitchen is fully stocked with crockery, utensils, pots and pans so we were able to be self sufficient. Although, the town of Halls Gap is just a 2min drive when we wanted to try a restaurant. We workshop hesitate to come back to the property next time we're in the area.

Wildlife in the backyard

We had a good time in Halls Gap with our kids. The house is a bit older but offers enough space and even wildlife in the backyard. The cleaning was okay but some parts would need a deep clean - especially the kitchen drawers.

Lovely property, perfect for our family.

Well situated, easy walking distance to shops, cultural centre, many walking trails. Beautiful bush surrounds and bird life to see from the deck or out the windows. Kitchen well stocked for cooking facilities, home a little low on ‘start up products’ but a very comfortable stay, especially over a very hot week! Beds and rooms also comfortable and well appointed. Great living space for lounging during the heat of the day. Great stay! Much thanks!

Perfect for families

The house was perfect for us! As a small group consisting of three generations, it was lovely to have a bedroom each. The generous bathroom with the spa bath was a hit and we had baths both nights. The wood fire added warmth and character for the chilly September evenings. The house was super clean and really well equipped for home catering. We had initially tossed up between this and a more expensive property and were very pleased to have saved our coin because it would have been difficult to find a better place to stay. House is situated a short drive from the main town, or there is a walk/bike track for those so inclined.

Brilliant girls’ weekend house!

4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night getaway. A bedroom each plus lots of communal space. The weather was scorching hot but the air conditioning and ceiling fans were terrific. Enough crockery, cutlery, glassware etc for (I’d say) 10 people. The weather limited our outdoor activities but we managed a morning walk to Venus Baths rock pools, a delicious dinner at HG Hotel, breakfast in town one morning and coffee another day. We were delighted with the wallabies, magpies and cockatoos who visited. An excellent venue! Would thoroughly recommend.

Our Yearly gathering

Hall Gap is one of our favourite spots. The accommodation was just what we need. Convenient spot, very clean, plenty of room. One of our group commented on the cuddly big towels! Thank you from us all. Just a few suggestions. Two more outdoor chairs. The covering over the fan in the main bathroom needs attention and check out one of the dining chairs. Please take these suggestions as they are meant. We really do enjoy your house. We hope we can gather there again next year👍👍🙏 Thank you. Marg Lawlor.
