Great place, super clean and cosy! Really close to Halls Gap (walking distance) if you're looking for a good place to stay for a hiking/climbing trip.

100% recommend this place!

This place was in a beautiful location very quiet and private and the house was cozy and comfortable. We loved the comfortable beds, couches and warm living space. a beautiful house in a beautiful area.

Lady Marmalade has quickly become a favourite for our annual girls trip. It’s cozy, close to the shops and a beautiful house. We look forward to our visit every year. James is a great host and very friendly and responsive.

Thanks Michele, we loved our short stay in your cottage. It had everything that we needed and more. It was in a beautiful area and it was so peaceful, which is what we were hoping for. When we are back in the Hepburn region we will definitely look at booking again. Thank you, Leanne

The home was very warm and cosy, particularly for such a cold long weekend. The home was clean and very well designed and laid out. We had all that was needed for a comfortable stay.

Spent 2 nights La Boheme. We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is in the middle of nature with plenty of wildlife. The highlight was definitely the regular kangaroos bouncy past the house. The location is perfect with plenty to do and plenty to see.

What a wonderful stay and fantastic breakfast, service was exceptional and the fire was so cosy. Excellent hospitality from Chris . I will definitely stay again 👏👏👏👏

Great stay at Hannah's. stunning view of Mt Sturgeon. Cosy house with lots of firewood provided and fireplace set ready to go. Great outdoor space for our pups. Hannah was very accommodating and flexible. A short walk to town or 2 minute drive to local restaurants/cafe. Lovely stay and we hope to return to walk Mt Abrupt next time.

What a lovely place to stay! Located in the beautiful Halls Gap, close to the township and local amenities. Magnificent outdoor area which we were itching to sit on and enjoy the tranquility but Mother Nature had other ideas. None the less we had an enjoyable stay. Accomodation was neat and tidy and provided for all our needs.

Great semi isolated location with small interesting town with all requirements within 4 kms. The place is beautifully peaceful and restful. Ideal for us.

Brendan & PETA’s house was very clean spacious and beautifully decorated. Luxury bath towels and linens were provided. We were travelling with our dog and the fully fenced backyard was very convenient. We felt right at home and all the amenities were great. Only a short drive to major supermarkets and shops so the house is well located. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Jo’s studio was lovely. We had a great time staying there with our pup, Wesley. Jo was very responsive and helpful. We would love to come back and stay there whenever we come to Bendigo next.

Lovely part of the world to stay in. The place was homely and warm. Thanks for having us! Would definitely recommend to others.

I loved my stay at this beautiful studio. It felt relaxing and calm. The views were beautiful as were the gardens that Nicola has created on the property. I highly recommend a stay here.

This was our third stay at Bet Bet Creek Homestead, we love it. Warm and cozy, well stocked kitchen, comfy bed, great yard for dog to explore and plenty of privacy, peace and quiet.

I loved Renee and Izy’s place. Perfect location (short walk onto the Main Street, and up to the Convent). The heating was great, the bed was comfy. Thanks so much.

The property was fantastic—exactly as described. The spacious grounds and beautiful rose garden were perfect for walks, and the vineyard made a stunning backdrop for sunrises. Kids loved the games room, the pool, and having Netflix and YouTube on the TV. The kitchen was spotless and well-stocked. We also enjoyed spotting lots of kangaroos. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Corvah House in Castlemaine with our extended family, including young children. The house was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend. The highlight was definitely the pool—an absolute lifesaver on a hot weekend! With ample grass area outside too, the the kids loved it which meant we could relax too. Donna was an excellent host—her communication was fantastic, making everything smooth and stress-free. We’d highly recommend Corvah House to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Castlemaine.

Fun homely homestead with access to po & games room.

Jennifer and David’s house is a fabulous place to stay in Daylesford! The house itself is modern, clean, spacious, has excellent amenity, and special bonus features including pool, spa and sauna! Communication was easy, always prompt and informative. Will be back. Highly recommend!

Beautiful location and a charming cottage along with very helpful caretakers allowed for a fantastic stay. Our kids were never bored with so much for them to do on the property, from the games room to the grassy areas and even a river for some fishing, they were well entertained. Very tranquil setting, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommended the cottage to both couples and families.

We had a great stay and Renee and Izy's. The location was fantastic for nature, food and fun. Thanks for having us.

Taradale House is the best place to unwind and relax from the city's hustle and bustle of everyday life. We saw blue wrens, rosellas, cockatoos and kangaroos around the property as we scrolled through this scenic location breathing in the fresh country air. The games room kept our son entertained and we enjoyed a game of pool as a family. Skye was always available to help with any queries or requests which she attended to promptly. Andy was similarly helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this holiday accommodation site to all.
