Actually perfect

This place is incredible. All you hear is birds and cows. Close enough to Mansfield if you've forgotten something. I was amazed by the view everytime I stepped outsider. The house itself is actually much bigger than I thought it was going to be, has absolutely everything you could need. Will be recommending it to anyone. Was an absolute pleasure to stay here!

Feeling rejuvenated!

We had an amazing two-night stay at this beautiful house on top of a hill. The panoramic views were absolutely breathtaking and provided the perfect backdrop for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. The tranquility was unparalleled, and we felt completely rejuvenated. The house itself was cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Memorable vistas

Charming private retreat with breathtaking 360 views. Thoughtful service but the tea selection and a welcome package would have boosted the experience. The BBQ and lack of firewood was not acceptable really. Thank goodness we had a sturdy car to navigate the driveway- needs a grader please.

Beautiful weekend getaway

Gorgeous house with stunning views. So quiet and peaceful. Amazing views to wake up to and enjoy. My only complaint is the condition of the driveway (definitely reommend 4wd), and solar lights at front door could do with an upgrade to ones that stay on at night when you're coming back in the dark.

Well appointed comfortable and warm house. All amenities have been thoughtfully provided. We really enjoyed our stay. Watching the sunrise is well worth the effort. A glorious spot to get some restful relaxation and close to the snowfields and plenty of outdoor activities.

A beautiful countryside retreat, excellent views

This was our third stay at Marg’s beautiful high country cottage. It was exactly how we remembered it from the first 2 times, magnificent 360 views, warm and cosy, and just so entirely relaxing. All the homely touches one can expect for a home away from home, comfortable and peaceful. Our family will surely return year after year.
