The continental breakfast provisions were as expected. Everything in the small cottage was immaculate and small decorating touches made it a very pleasant place to stay for one night. the view was beautiful from all windows, and we loved the chandelier in the chookhouse. Thoroughly recommend Dovecote Cottage for a couple who are looking for a short stay.

The cottages maximise the surrounds with large windows and beautifully landscaped gardens. The bird feeders ensured a constant show of bird life outside our window. The room was well-equipped - they had really thought of everything.

Kimberly Australia

Great spot for a weekend getaway. So close to Melbourne and a great cottage to spend some peaceful time. The facilities were great, the hosts were nice and the gardens were simply beautiful. Birds come by and eat the bird seed that your put out. The sounds of nature surround you. It really helps refresh the mind and feel recharged. Some amazing places to visit and eat close by.

Sean Australia
