    A very peaceful location that is only a short drive to most attractions, wineries, and shops. The attention to detail of period architecture and construction is praise worthy indeed. Everything is actually better than described. We'll be back for sure.

    This lovely old cottage is set in a gorgeous rural setting with easy driving access to the local supermarket and regional city of Bendigo. We had a lovely 3 night stay at the cottage. The fire created a cosy space. Whilst the bathroom is spacious the shower is a very tight space however this didn’t impact our enjoyment of our stay. A highlight was a visit from a very big kangaroo who wasn’t at all bothered by us as he lounged around on a grassy mound near the shed.

    We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous cottage relaxing around the open fire. Easy drive to surrounds - Bendigo and Castlemaine. Christine was a fantastic host; promptly replying to our enquiries and letting us have a late check out. Hope to return soon.

    We loved our stay in this fabulous cottage. Wonderful peaceful rural location just a short drive to Bendigo. If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind this is it. Comfy beds and a great shower. Yes it is cold in autumn/winter but there are heaters and just bring a blanket!! No the wifi isn’t perfect, but bring a book or game and have a digital detox! Will definitely be back!

    We arrived at the property 3 hours after check in time and discovered that someone was already using the premises. There were personal possessions on the floor of one bedroom and the bed was unmade. The bathroom shower recess along with the hand basin and toilet had not been cleaned. There was a laptop on the floor of the lounge room being charged.The rubbish bin in the kitchen had not been emptied, There were dirty dishes left on the sink. While making a cup of tea a large cockroach ran across the benchtop and during that evening we killed two more.There was a double garage but it was unusable as one side was permanently closed and the other side was full of wood and junk.Very unprofessional host as this should have been sorted before we checked in.Would not recommend this place.

    We enjoyed the quiet bush setting and sitting out on the front verandah listening to the birds and enjoying the sunshine. It was just lovely. The Cottage was very clean and well provided with everything except sheets and towels. Otherwise very comfortable and the thick mud brick walls were a good insulation to keep it cool inside.Ideal in the summer for sure. Heating also provided. Internet connection was excellent. The connection was in the cupboard in second bedroom and cord plugged into the power board near the lamp. A most pleasant stay. Thankyou
