The perfect house for a friends weekend away, with lots of hangout spaces, good kitchen for meals and a lovely big dining table! The spa was great and the view out to Mt Buller was constantly changing with the weather and so interesting. Cosy with the fire and heaters on a very cold weekend!

The property is amazing :) perfect location and big enough for everyone to have a little alone time....only thing I would suggest is a little TLC needed as the sliding door to the awesome jacuzzi is very very hard to slide open. An also maybe just upgrade a few kitchen utensils - Toaster upstairs only cooked 1 side of the toast and frypans need to be replaced .....only a few little things :) but I would definitely stay there again it's close to the snow an if they did upgrade a few little things this place is a 10 star

Snow trip to Buller

Property is well located and close to the Mt Buller however it's not very close as it is advertised. It will take 30 mins min during the snow season to get to the Mt Buller Village. Facilities are very good except one issue with the sliding door opening to the spa. Sliding door is stuck and very difficult to open. It would have been nice if host considered extra hour late check out to celebrate my partners birthday on that day. Our request was denied which was unpleasant for us.

THIS PROPERTY IS A SCAM!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ACCOMMODATION. You will be asked to pay for damages that you haven't even done and try and rip you off even for normal cleaning. Heaps of other options around the area. Luckily VRBO and ACCC gives enough options to protect the guests otherwise this host will try and make as much money as possible out of guests.

Nice stay with some caution

Amazing place very spacious with well kitted out kitchen. House has a nice view to Mt Buller. The sheets were clean and house was clean. Overall the price wasn’t worth the $1000 a night we paid. Due to; - BBQ was pretty dirty and the collector tray full - There is a ring camera facing the jacuzzi which made us uncomfortable as they could access and see people in bathing suits. - Downstairs is a hit dull
