Kangaroo Creek Cottage

JordiRating, 5 stars2 days ago

One of the best Airbnb places we have stayed. Malcolm and Marina were so warm and welcoming. From the transport to the accommodation, the fresh bread on arrival, to allowing us to feed the horses apples, we could not fault their hospitality. Communication with Malcolm was easy and fast, and he provided excellent local recommendations for food. The Airbnb was cosy, clean and secluded with ultimate privacy. We had a wonderful weekend and can’t thank them enough.

Helen's House

MelindaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Great two bedroom unit in Castlemaine, was very close to the town center. Also has a nice outdoor area to enjoy during nice weather. Heating did the trick on chilly evenings. There were quite a few easy bushwalks to enjoy in the surrounding area. Also wineries close by. Easy drive to all spots. Thanks for a very comfortable stay!

Riversdale Retreat

ScottRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a wonderful escape for a couple of nights in a really peaceful and beautiful setting. While I could talk about how it matched its description, that the place was spotless, or that sitting in front of the fire felt so homely, there were a couple of things that stood out for me personally. Firstly, as someone who has managed to have tatami rooms in a few houses that I have lived in, and unfortunately doesn't have the space now, being able to sit on tatami and just chat was just lovely. Secondly, as someone who has spent many hours in sento in Japan, being able to sit on a stool and wash before hopping in a deep bath brought back wonderful memories. So all in all, a wonderful space with a really responsive host.

We had a great stay at Carolyn's unit. The space is very clean and everything was as described. The bed was very comfy and the amenities in the apartment were sufficient and thoughtful. The surrounds are beautiful as well, we had a nice walk in the garden and my infant daughter was very interested in the chooks!
