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.

Thank you so much for your outstanding review. We are thrilled to hear you had such a great stay - we hope to welcome you back again in the future!
The stay in this accommodation was very good the amenities were fantastic everything you could possibly require was provided. A short walk to town. The host was very friendly and discreet. The entertainment provided was generous Netflix, Stan and others. The beds were great and the whole place was very clean. Would definitely stay again and would recommend.
The house was very welcoming with everything you would need supplied. Just a short stroll to shops and restaurants made the position perfect for our needs
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!

Botanic House is an absolutely beautiful property in Woodend and has everything that you need for a long weekend or a longer stay. The only issue we had was communication with the property manager was more complicated than it needed to be.
