Great location.

Was a great place for our trip away to Victoria, was only a shortish drive to Ballarat, was in a great location to relax with each other and look at horses and watch some amazing sunsets. Would definitely come back for another stay.

Great property and location but you risk being charged for damages

We booked our stay at this property in December. The host was initially amiable and the location was convenient, contributing to the overall appeal of the place. The presentation of the property was generally pleasing. However, we encountered a few issues upon arrival. Notably, the cleaning appeared incomplete, as evidenced by numerous raisins scattered around the sofa. Additionally, we faced a problem with a blocked sink drain. Although the host provided a plunger, it required personal intervention to resolve, revealing a substantial accumulation of mud and leaves - a probable oversight from previous guests. Despite these initial setbacks, our stay was enjoyable and relaxing. Post-departure, however, we experienced an unexpected and shocking problem. Several days after our return, the host accused us of damaging the door lock - a claim initiated by subsequent guests and not observed during cleaning. We are confident that the lock was fully functional when we left, suggesting that the damage occurred after our departure. Despite this, the host dismissed our explanations, opting for a direct accusation and immediate compensation. The communication turned unpleasant, with the host adopting a condescending tone, insinuating that either ourselves or our children were responsible for the damage. In conclusion, while the property itself offers a fairly pleasant stay, potential guests should be aware of the risk of being unjustly held accountable for damages.

Great country getaway

Thank you for hosting us at your beautiful country property. There were wonderful views out every window, and even though the weather was pretty terrible, we enjoyed our writer's retreat in this idyllic location. The property was clean and well-appointed, everything we needed. Thank you also for the access to streaming services on the TV! We were especially grateful for the recommendation of the local cafe - we thoroughly enjoyed our stop there and went back on the final day to buy more locally sourced goods! A lovely property, very much as described.
