Peter Australia

Excellent accommodation near Sutton Grange - delightful Central Victorian vistas!

John Australia

Apartment was lovely. Pool was clean. Breakfast was supplied.

J Australia

Our five day stay was excellent. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. We found beautiful homegrown fruit and other produce including eggs in the fridge, and cereals etc for our breakfast. Our milk and fire wood was replenished daily, and even a surprise cake appeared on one day. The property is in the countryside and only 20 mins drive to Bendigo, and perfectly positioned to access the bike rail rail. It was quiet and so comfortable, and beautifully set up. The wood heater worked so well and quickly (we had very cold weather whilst there). All in all, a wonderful stay.

Jenny Australia

Beautiful views, lovely pool, Peter & Vivian were absolutely fantastic guests and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Luke Australia

Virginia and Peter have created a wonderful haven in which to relax, unwind and experience nature and the peaceful environment of the local area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was so comfortable and the design of the home makes it feel separate and private. We loved using the pool and taking an evening walk through the bush track around the property. Peter and Virginia have payed close attention to all the important details that make a holiday truly relaxing. We definitely recommend staying at the Chocolate Lily and we will be back again very soon

Burnzai Australia

We were looking for a remote location and we got it. Close enough to nearby towns for day trips. The place was very energy efficient even with the large glass windows.

Yann-chu Australia

We were so impressed with our accomodation and it exceeded our expections. Virginia and Peter were excellent hosts who couldn’t do enough for you but also didn’t interrupt your personal space.

Christine Australia

Chocolate Lily was the perfect getaway to enjoy some quiet time. The accommodation was extremely comfortable with lots of personal touches. Virginia was the perfect host and provided a delicious breakfast from her farm produce. Would definitely recommend to those looking for a few days away to enjoy the Victorian countryside.
