Best place in town
What can I say…. my girls will remember there stay here for decades to come, we had daily visits by Kangaroos, Kookaburra’s, Cockatoo’s and an old Magpie. Then we had early dusk visits by 2 foxes and a Deer.. At night we watched Netflix whilst roasting marshmallows by the fireplace and mused amongst ourselves how fine life is here. To top it all off a few Em’s dropped by the last morning of our stay when the Kookaburra (3), the Magpie and a few cockatoo’s sat on the front porch and chatted to my youngest daughter whilst she had breakfast. (No we didn't feed them). All up fantastic place to stay! Cheers Andy and Schnelle

Soooo impressed
Restful with wildlife on doorstep, for a group of people that can readily develop allergies there were none ! Spacious, quiet and so comfy ! Have already booked another visit. Age group range was 13 to 73 and we all loved it.

Perfectly located, comfortable base in the Grampians
We stayed in the property for four nights and loved the location (about 50m from the centre of Halls Gap) and the comfort of the property. Fire pit in the back garden was perfect for evening family gathering in company of kangaroos and the wildlife. Property was well-equipped with all the usual tea and coffee but also little extras like marshmallows for toasting at the fire pit. Host Jennifer was totally helpful and attentive. We'd love to return on our next Grampians visit!

Cosy and quiet, clean and tidy. The property had everything you could could want from books and DVD's, toys and games for the kids and a fully featured kitchen with all the essentials to cook up a meal. We had an excellent stay, will stay again in the future.

Paradise in Town Centre
We loved the old holiday house with its rustic charm, surrounded by nature and wildlife but still in close proximity to the shops. We started the days having coffee outside with the birds, watching the rising sun light up the distant rock faces and we drank Margherita’s watching the sun set with our menagerie of wildlife. Absolute bliss if you can get past the quirks of a well maintained and well supplied, clean , old, rustic property with oodles of living space and charm. Will definitely book again. I miss it already.

Manna from Heaven
Wonderful stay in this roomy atmospheric cottage. Excellent facilities. No need to visit Halls Gap zoo as the backyard is a zoo. Saw two huge antlered deer just outside the laundry window at 5am one morning. Was that dream or reality? Shocked when I heard about the devastating fire that passed through Pomonal just days after we drove through the town. Strength and hope. I feel like going straight back and hiking the mountains again. Won't be long before I do.

Outstanding accommodation. Very homely and spotlessly clean in a lovely 5 acre setting. Very old house renovated to the highest standard within walking distance to everything. We will be back! Kim and Jenny
