This is an excellent house for a family stay, in either summer or winter. The views of the Delatite River escarpment are marvellous and the pool was a wonderful benefit on the hot days.Close enough to Mansfield for a bit of shopping therapy as going out for a meal.
Perfect setting for our family. Pool heated well, comfy beds and the creek at the bottom of the property was perfect for morning walks and reflection.Thanks Hil Jack's.We'll be back for sure
We were really disappointed with our stay. While the view from the property was beautiful and the heating worked well, unfortunately that was where the positives ended.The property was not clean on arrival. Every dish we took out of the cupboards was dirty, so we had to wash everything before we could use it.Communication with the host was extremely poor. Responses would take several days, and on the day of check-in we had to make three phone calls before finally reaching someone to obtain the property’s address and check-in details. This created unnecessary stress at the start of our holiday.One of the bedrooms, located near the kitchen, had constant scratching and scurrying noises in the walls that sounded like rats. It was loud enough that our children were unable to sleep in that room.The driveway was another major issue. It is incredibly steep, and there was no mention in the listing that guests are unable to drive down to the property. We had to leave our car at the top and carry our luggage and children down a muddy gravel driveway, which was difficult and unsafe. This should be clearly disclosed in the advertisement so guests know what to expect.To make matters worse, the outside bins were already completely full when we arrived, leaving us with nowhere to dispose of our rubbish during our stay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations.
Cleanliness is something we take very seriously, and it's disappointing to hear your comments. We have shared your feedback with our housekeeping team and will investigate the concerns you have raised.
We also apologise for the difficulty you experienced with check-in communication. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we will review what occurred on the day of your arrival.
Regarding the noises you heard, we were not made aware of this during your stay. Had we been contacted, we would have arranged for the property to be inspected promptly.
The driveway is typical of many alpine and High Country properties, and while most guests have no difficulty accessing the home, we appreciate that it may not suit everyone. We will review the listing to see whether the access information can be made clearer.
With respect to rubbish disposal, there are three metal bins provided under the carport adjacent to the house for guest use. If these were not apparent, we would have been more than happy to direct you to them.
Many of the concerns you've mentioned could likely have been resolved during your stay had we been given the opportunity to assist. We encourage guests to contact us immediately if any issues arise so that we can address them as quickly as possible and help ensure they enjoy the remainder of their stay.
We appreciate yourfeedback
We had a lovely weekend with a few families. Kids loved the bunk room and the cottage was very cosy with the fire. The location by the river an close to Buller were exactly what we were after. Check-in went smoothly and we were able to get help easily when the gas for the hot water ran out. The problem was solved promptly.
