Perfect location for us, so close to town and to the basketball courts

Erin Australia

Lovely house with a lot of character. Very comfortable beds.

Julie Australia

It was perfect to have room to catch up with family.

Lynette Australia

Lovely older style home. Fire was on when we arrived and house was warm and inviting. Provisions provided were delicious and appreciated! Comfortable beds and room heaters ensured bedrooms were warm.

Geoffrey Australia

close to town, comfortable, spacious, good heating.

Jane Australia

The house itself, the thoughtful basket left by the host, the myriad of entertainment options that we didn't even get time to try and the location both in close to the main street and a quiet neighbourhood.

Anthony Australia

House was exceptionally clean, well displayed, great for families, easy walking distance to town

Rhiannon Australia

The Californian was beautiful! I don't know Benalla well but so glad I chose this property. Roz was a pleasure to deal with from the get go. The added touch of having the heaters on was so welcoming as was the fresh bread and butter on arrival. Will definitely stay there again

Maria Australia

We loved this place. Large bedrooms, clean, tv in bedroom, comfortable beds, great location close to town. Had everything we needed and the fresh bread was much needed!!!!

Nicole Australia

Close to main shopping precinct and places to eat out. Basket of goodies was a nice surprise. Lovely large rooms. Owner very accommodating.
