We loved the red brick cottage. Great location with wildlife everywhere and a good BBQ area twenty yards away. Owners very thoughtful as they left logs for the coal fire as we were experiencing a cold weather spell. Unique and wonderful place to stay.

LOVED our stay in the log cabin. Would buy it and move in tomorrow if we could!! Everything was excellent and the hosts were super accommodating with our late arrival and communication was great. We’re going to make it an annual trip!

Serenity!
Stayed in the log cabin, very comfortable, amazing location, a wildlife paradise with kangaroos, wombats and emu. Next to the zoo, so we had the bonus of seeing the giraffes in the morning! So peaceful and relaxing, surrounded by lovely walking tracks. Great spot to visit the local wineries also. Fully fitted kitchen, they supply coffee,and tea, just bring your food, or lots of local eateries nearby. Wood is also supplied for the fire and there is also a bbq area. Hope to return one day!

The view and vibe is absolutely amazing. So many animals and areas to explore so close. Very peaceful and comfortable. A great experience
Wonderful setting with great access to hikes and other activities. Great shared outdoor cooking facilities with excellent views for evening. BBQ. The owner was incredibly friendly and very accommodating. I would highly recommend.
Our kiddies loved the mudbrick house, said it was the highlight of their holiday! Loved the chickens, kangaroos being so close to us and hearing the monkeys and dingos at the zoo in the morning.
Great distance from the zoo, and very family friendly. Cant wait to go back!!
We had a 2 night stay in the Stone Cottage which was just perfect. It was very relaxing and so cozy with the wood fire. Very spacious accommodation in a truly beautiful setting overlooking the Grampians mountain range. Aidan the proprietor was very welcoming and hospitable, and ensured our stay was comfortable. We certainly look forward to returning.
