Rustic self contained cottage set in the beautiful grounds of Grayton House.

Such a great property and house, and the hosts were incredible. We’ll definitely be recommending this to our mates as it was an incredible weekend away!

The shack was a gorgeous little getaway. Alison went above and beyond. The welcome basket was beautiful and stocked full of goodies. Place was clean and had everything we needed. The back gate made it very private and was very easy to use. Perfect couple retreat. Highly recommend.

Unacceptable to open a gate in not good condition. No lighting in driveway.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Shack. A perfect country retreat for two in peaceful, beautiful grounds but close to town. Alison is a super host. We loved all the breakfast provisions.

I had the most pleasant time in Woodend and in ‘The Shack’. It was so cozy and peaceful, perfect for a weekend getaway.

Had an absolutely beautiful stay! All the goodies that Alison left were so indulgent...every little thing was thought of. Stunning property and tranquil grounds. Highlight of our stay was definitely cuddles with Daisy...what a gorgeous golden retriever she is!

The Shack is a lovely, comfortable place to stay in a beautiful setting. The attention to detail means is excellent and meant we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend visit. Alison was a great host too, we hope to visit again sometime!

This was our second stay at The Shack - Alison is a very welcoming host and provides a lovely selection of breakfast items. The open fire is lovely - bathroom chilly so leave the door open to get heat in there - highly recommended location!

My husband and I had a great time at The Shack. Alison was prompt and communicative in the lead up to the stay and we found the property exactly as advertised. We really appreciated the breakfast and snack options, and also our interactions with the resident golden retriever, Daisy! (Who was also very obedient and could be contained if that was an issue for others!) We loved the coziness of the fireplace and will certainly try to come back in warmer months when we can make use of the outside area.

Pleasant location and hosts and the only negative thing to say is the bed was uncomfortable. I don't know if its just because we have a really comfortable mattress at home and have got far to used to that level of comfort, but it made sleeping difficult unfortunately and without sleep it tarnishes the shine of all other things. And it doesn't even cost much to get a good mattress like Sleeping Duck etc these days so it's an easy problem to rectify, and we enjoyed everything else. Would have given 5 stars otherwise. Please be aware also there is limited mobile signal in the surrounding areas.

Beautiful property and wonderful quiet place to stay. Breakfast and local food much appreciated and easy location for touring the region. We’ll stay again

We loved everything about this cottage and didnt want to leave to venture out for dinner because it was too cozy by the open fire. There was everything we needed and Alison couldn't have been more helpful. And the bed was amazing - we slept so well. Thoroughly recommended and we would stay again.

A beautiful cosy cottage in the heart of Woodend. Alison's attention to detail & providing everything you need for a relaxing stay. A selection of breakfast items & little extras were greatly appreciated.
