A beautiful weekend getaway.
This was my first time staying in the area & had no idea how beautiful it was. And probably wouldn't have experienced it had we not stayed in this house. It is in such a perfect location to walk around & experience the magic of Lake Wendouree. The house was very clean & beautifully decorated. We had a few extra questions prior to check in & the communication was quick & helpful. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Excellent
We had an incredible experience during our stay! Phillip truly went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. Our young daughter was delighted by the ducks near the property and the fun games provided. Unfortunately, we accidentally left our blender behind, which we needed for our daughter's smoothies. However, Phillip demonstrated exceptional kindness by promptly sending it to us in Melbourne through Aus Post. We are absolutely thrilled with our experience and will unquestionably return to this amazing property. We highly recommend both the accommodation and the wonderful host, Phillip.

Gorgeous house, perfect location
The house is gorgeously styled and in a perfect location just metres from the lake. The property owner/manager was terrific to deal. We really enjoyed the deck and backyard - perfect area for the parents to relax and kids to play.

BEST PROPERTY EVER
This is a GEM of a place. Beautifully decorated, very functional, very clean and a great location just across from Lake Wendouree. The host had thought of everything. There were clear instructions on everything, lovely coffee and board games for adults and children. All the beds were very comfortable and TVs very new. Perfect for family with two children plus grandparents. Outside porch area well set up also. Could not fault it. 10 out of 10.
