    The house was amazing great feel, so much detail in the wood work. The electric heater log fires are a thoughtful addition. Complaining the natural wood heating. The pathway to the house bought about the feel of a mystic adventure, while been well lite and safely maintained

    Heritage Haven with Old world charm!

    The property has an european old world charm and transports you back to a different era. The decor the rich wooden interiors create a warm atmosphere invoking old world elegance that feels both sophisticated and homely. The intricate woodwork and the vintage finishes spesk of heritage and craftsmanship making this place a blend of history and character!!.

    A pretty hefty walk using the stepped path up to the property,as the driveway is very steep to walk up and down and not allowed to be used (for good measure!) as described by the host . If you have knee or leg issues or difficulty walking ,this may not be an ideal location for you.Additionally if you have lot of luggage to carry may end up being a solid workout going up and down to the property :). The availabiltiy of hot water is limited as the property is not connected to the Yarra water supply so need to be judicious about how much water you are using for washing etc.

    Short stay in the forest

    Fairytale position, building and gardens

    No access to the log fire during our stay, small electric heaters only. We were cold. No internet, no television, Limited tank water. Advised to take short showers. No fixed doors on upstairs rooms. Large plywood panels were under one of the beds and had to be placed over doors for privacy. All of this information was only supplied on the day of our booking. We also found there was no Optus coverage at the property. Had we had this information beforehand we would not have booked.
