The house is truly outstanding in every possible way. Exceptionally comfortable, extremely well equipped with absolutely everything one could want. Excellent communications from the owner. Holiday rentals don’t come any better. Quiet (thanks to double glazing) and perfectly located to explore Woodend and the surrounding beautiful country side.

We had a delightful stay for two nights in Botanic House with another couple. It was warm and cosy, beautifully appointed, and a five minute walk to the lovely township of Woodend. There was excellent communication with the host. We are already discussing with our friends when we can return!

I am glad you enjoyed your stay Kate. Our guests always commend us on our service and communication, as we provide nice clear checkin information, as well as recommendations for eateries and attractions nearby.
