Property was nice with a great view but laundry staff letting themselves into the property unannounced was not appreciated and left my wife feeling unsafe.

Not quite like it sounds, the linen hire company deliver a few times a week during the day and they place the orders in our shed and pick up the used linen. This happens at every short term rental property in Halls Gap and under no circumstances do they go in the houses.
Pleasant spot to take in the ambience of the Grampians. Beautiful garden, lots of birdlife. Excellent wood heater, well equipped house and fantastic view.
Perfect for a family with large bedrooms at opposite ends of the main living area & two bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen. Wildlife just outside the door. 2.5 km walk into Halls Gap centre.
Beautiful property in a fantastic and central location.
Absolutely fantastic. The property had everything we needed and more. It was clean and beautiful with a gorgeous front and rear garden. Comfortable and romantic for my partner and I. Wish we had stayed longer.
The location is also perfect, right near town and giving access to so many things to do. We would come back in a heartbeat.
A very comfortable place to stay in. Close to the shop & hotel. The wood heater was very efficient and warmed the whole place. Would have liked a bedside table & lamp in the 2nd bedroom & a couple of extra salad bowls, otherwise would recommend the place.
The property meet our expectations and was presented on arrival just as lovely and clean as it was in the photos. It had everything on hand for our family of 4 to enjoy our Halls Gap stay including the fully equipped kitchen and movies/Netflix for relaxing after a day exploring the trails.
We loved being surrounded by the gorgeous mountain views in this quiet court location with it's beautiful gardens, and glimpses of wildlife.
Very happy with the location which was just a short drive to Halls Gap township and many scenic hiking trails close by. Dinner at the nearby pub, just a short walk away, was delicious.
Check in/out process was very smooth and we had no issues in our experiences coordinating with the host. Thanks so much Janet.

Fantastic guest and excellent communicator, friendly and left the property in immaculate condition. Looking forward to hosting you again soon.
Beautiful home with amazing views of the Grampians. Plenty of space for kids to play and have a little separation from parents. Absolutely loved the cockatoos landing on the veranda each morning! Would love to return.
