“Fab, we highly recommend.”
It was quiet, convenient and had everything we needed for a quiet retreat. The hosts provided some bubbles and nibbles on arrival, along with OJ (which I had forgot) for breakfast.

“secluded location for romantic weekend, with Hepburn Springs within a twenty minute stroll.”
excellent location, very secluded but within easy walking distance of Hepburn Springs. the house was clean and tidy, and had everything we needed for the two nights (including washing machine which meant I didn't return home with a bag of dirty laundry - that was a bonus) we went out to eat however the house was self-contained so would have been easy to make meals (has a BBQ as well as indoor kitchenette)

“A well priced, lovely, secluded cabin in Hepburn”
We love the private location and beautiful scenery and have been returning guests for some time now. The facilities are good, the cabin is comfortable, and it's conveniently close to town. If you're after a well priced, secluded cabin in Hepburn, Tarilta might be just right for you.

“Perfect Retrest for Luxurious comfort in a tranquil location”
So well appointed with comfort and luxury in an idyllic rural setting. Andrew & Anthony attending to all the needs of our international guests- who were staying as part of our Wedding party in this amazing venue. So serene and peaceful with 5-Star inclusions throughout. This retreat is incredible value for what they offer as a package.

The cottage is in such a fabulous location. You can sit out on the deck and hear nothing but the sounds of the bush, but you're only a short, scenic walk across to the shops and cafes. The house itself has everything you need and is super comfortable. There are windows on all sides, and it's a very restorative ambience. Plus, the owners are incredibly generous, easy to communicate with, and friendly.

“Dream getaway. I can’t wait to come back!!!”
Oh my goodness, where to begin?! My mum and I have never felt so at home at a holiday accommodation as we did here. From the moment we drove up to the property and stepped out, it was bliss. The white cockatoos greeted us immediately and we were overcome with awe for the grandeur of the view from the verandah. The cottage was perfect in absolutely every way. The amenities were perfect, the decoration gorgeous, everything was spotlessly clean. The CD’s were fun. The TV endlessly entertaining (so many channels!! Hahah) We couldn’t find a single thing we didn’t like about it. We had so much fun there, felt so relaxed and at home. We will never forget our stay at Tarilta and cannot wait to return AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, to one of Anthony and Andrew’s other (gorgeous, I’m sure) cottages. Thank you endlessly. You made my mum’s birthday/ our trip to Hepburn the highlight of our year.

“Perfect little getaway”
A very comfortable cottage for one or two. I loved the spa, and all the windows meant that I could enjoy the bush from inside because it was chilly. Having streaming provided is very generous. I didn't want to leave.
