“Nice and relaxing”
Great place, beautiful surroundings, nature, wildlife. The back yard is a great space, and the fire pit is nicely placed. The house location is very good, walking distance to the shops but also secluded area surrounded by nature. Communication from host was great.

“Perfect place for a larger family, comfy facilities and fabulous wildlife and location”
Lovely central home in Halls gap - enough rooms and space for a family with 2 teenagers! All facilities you could need. Loved the visits from the wildlife with cockatoos and wallabies chilling on the verandahs!

“Tranquil stay at Halls Gap at the foot of The Grampians”
This lovely cottage has everything you need to be home away from home while admiring the spectacular views of the Grampians. Its proximity to the hiking trail as well as Halls Gap town centre provided convenience. Very clean, tidy and comfortable. Even though the weather was stormy and windy, we have managed to finish the hike, came back for a warm shower and enjoyed some quiet time by the fireplace. Highly recommend it to group of friends or family looking for a tranquil holiday cottage.

“Our stay was ideal. The weather was challenging but the house is perfect for “at home” days.”
The keys were easy to collect via a lock box.

“wonderful location, nice lodge”
great location, very short walk from the town & with great verandas front & back for Mountain Views, & with plenty of kangaroos & other wildlife to see. nice living area & decent, if slightly cramped, bedrooms - one big bathroom (although unfortunately spa bath not working), en suite was adequate but a bit small.
