My son and I highly recommend staying at this peaceful cute cottage!!!The cottage is comfortable, tastefully decorated and filled with thoughtful nostalgic sweet details. Guests can use family games, board games, DVDs, torches, and decorated writing paper provided by the hosts. The cottage has a wonderfully comfortable bed and extra pillows, blankets, Netflix, Internet, candles.The kitchen is roomy and has everything you need, with various teas and delicious condiments, bread and fresh eggs provided by the nearby (well behaved chickens). The outdoor space features a charcoal barbecue, large deck, different seating options, and a lovely countryside view. On clear evenings, you can enjoy a star filled sky. The cottage is set back from the main house, providing you with privacy.The hosts, Meagan and Mitch were friendly and easy to communicate with, they promptly responded to all our queries.

The demountable ‘cottage’ was very well appointed with quality products. Breakfast items provided. Liked the fence for our dog. Host wasn’t home to meet us when we arrived around 4pm. Their dog barked from then till at least midnight. we were trying to get an early night for an early start next day and I felt sorry for the poor dog. Easy 9 min walk to Huntly Hotel, good food.

Cozy and comfy cabin

I spent one night in the cabin with my kids. It was a great accommodation with open space in the front. Nice, tidy and organised stuffs inside. Varieties of board games to enjoy with kids and of course lots of stuffs for snakes and breakfast. Highly recommended.

This lovely property is a quiet cabin in a rural area fully fenced and with a lovely outdoor space. The owners live on the property but are respectful of privacy. While compact, our hosts provided everything that one could need, including many thoughtful touches. The breakfast items, including fresh farm eggs, were generous and very tasty. It is very safe for a pet dog, and our border collie spent hours gazing through the fence at the chooks that ranged around the yard. We would certainly consider staying at this property again, not only as a stop on a road trip, but as a base to explore the Bendigo region. Thanks to our wonderful hosts for their incredible hospitality.
