Our cabin was lovely, the view spectacular, we also liked that we were close enough to Mount Buller to do some hiking. In the morning from our terrace we could see the kangaroos and there were plenty of amazing birds around. We had a great time and will definitely go back.

Brigitte Australia

Amazing property and excellent host. Kids loved it and had so much fun.. would definitely visit again and highly recommend

Pinder Australia

It was warm and comfortable out in the country! Staff were nice and welcoming. Perfect place for me and my friends for a long weekend! Would definitely go again!

Woolley Australia

The place was fantastic, great views, huge spa bath, super comfy bed which you don't get at many places. Comfy couch and all amenities. My only recommendation is for the owners to put up more photos of the interior, bed, lounge, spa onto booking.com cause we thought it was just general accomodation and when we arrived we were like wow!! Very happy with the accomodation

James Australia

We loved being able to have a fire outside. It was nice to sit in the spa at night and the closeness to Howqua River Inlet was fantastic. We were offered free eggs freshly laid.

Maria Australia

Accommodation was delightfully comfortable and I was able to take my cat, who is family. The fireplace, spa and deck were added bonuses. I was able to cater for myself in the well appointed kitchen. Resort facilities were plentiful and the natural surroundings magnificent.

Deborah Australia

Room was spacious, clean and warm. Comfy bed and a really nice place to stay and relax. Good location also and only 15 minutes from Mansfield.

Ebeny Australia

Location was fine , had my own breakfast bought by myself

Bill Australia

Stayed in a1 bedroom chalet with wonderful views Loved how peaceful the area was.. although others were staying in other chalets, it felt as if we were the only ones there

Carmen Australia

Great view from the chalet, room was clean and staff were friendly. Will definitely book this place again.
