Had a lovely quiet time in the really nice cottage post office building. We remained in the kitchen/lounge area which had a great fire heater. Very peaceful & enjoyed visiting small towns & country pubs for lunches.
This is a wonderful property brought to life with cool and unpretentious interior decoratrion. You immediately feel relaxed in the great vibe, and there's plenty of room for an extended family both inside and in the garden.
We absolutely loved staying at this property. Beautifully presented with historical character. My only regret is not booking it for more than one night.
Clean, well maintained and beautiful historical place to stay , host is wonderful, area is so peaceful and quite , thanks for beautiful flowers Denise, we loved our stay!
If you're looking for a little slice of country Victoria that combines the comfort of modern-day accommodation with a touch of nostalgia, this old Post Office is a hidden gem.
Perfect for anyone in search of a peaceful getaway, it offers more than just a place to sleep, it offers an experience, one that lets you step back in time while still enjoying the comforts of today.
We loved our stay here, my first impressions were of how clean the place was, it really felt clean. The Historic Linton Post Office combines a lovely historic home with all the modern day requirements for comfort without ruining its appeal and character.We loved the fire in the kitchen.Having some provisions for breakfast, milk, coffee, (good coffee), and a biscuit available made our trip much easier and we could just get on with enjoying our time.The lounges were comfortable as was the bed and we had the best sleep here.Thanks to Denise for maintaining this lovely place and sharing it with us.
My husband & his brother stayed here for a month whilst working nearby.
The house was clean, nicely presented, very comfortable & really well catered.
Would definitely recommend Historic Linton Post Office!
What a lovely place to stay! A slice of history in a quaint little country village. Loved the spacious, relaxed and cozy atmosphere of this old Post Office building.
The Linton post office is a spacious and beautifully presented accomodation. The bedrooms were cosy (we needed the electric blankets) and the wood heater kept us warm and happy in the dining room. The town is very quiet and presents a welcome chance to walk and admire wildlife and farm Animals.
This was a really lovely place to stay.
Beautifully renovated with excellent amenities. Host was amazing giving recommendations for places to eat and how to easily locate. The childrens room was set up perfectly with toys for them to play with which they loved. Would definitely stay again on future road trips. Perfectly located not far from Ballarat.
After a hard days work, coming back to the old PO was fantastic. Warm, homely, interesting, spacious - it was everything we needed as a place to relax, unwind and recharge for the following day. Would definitely stay again!
