We loved our stay at this beautiful home with the most spectacular view. We wish we could have stayed longer.
All the necessary amenities were provided. The home was perfectly presented and very comfortable. The view was even better in person and we would definitely stay again.
Thank you Marg!

Well appointed comfortable and warm house. All amenities have been thoughtfully provided. We really enjoyed our stay. Watching the sunrise is well worth the effort. A glorious spot to get some restful relaxation and close to the snowfields and plenty of outdoor activities.

We had the loveliest family long weekend here. The property was clean, cozy and nestled in a tranquil pocket. Close enough for a short drive into Mansfield but far enough away to feel like you’ve got away from it all.
The house had everything needed. Kids loved the stuffys upstairs in the room. The fireplace was wonderful and the morning views are world class. What a beautiful spot! Thank you Marg!!

My wife & I stayed at this property for 4 nights, we wanted something quiet & peaceful and also great views. After searching around I picked this one and we weren't disappointed, a quaint 2 bedroom cottage with fantastic views, we also had some amazing sunsets. Great living room with log burner and the rest of the house was also great. Only a 12 minute drive to the centre of Mansfield. No problem to recommend this property.

The drive to the property was a bit further out of Mansfield than I thought it would be and along a dirt road, so be mindful of that. Having said that when we reached the house we were blown away with the views. Probably the best views of any Stayz property I have stayed at.
The.house itself had everything we needed and was very clean, and was pretty much as shown in the photos.The bird life around the house was abundant, and the country around Mansfield was spectacular.
Only slight criticism I would make is that the house could have done with better fly screens.
Overall this was a very good start to our driving holiday in Victoria.

This property was well maintained and very neat and tidy. It is located in an awesome position fairly close to Mansfield and is extremely peaceful, with views of a magnificent valley that changes by the hour. If you want peace and quiet, this is the location.
The property is well equipped and ready for you to enjoy your stay. However some extra towels would have been nice.
Just be careful of the drive way. Recent flooding have obviously had some affect. If you have a small car, just be careful and take it easy. It is easy to drive up, but some holes were bigger than the seemed.
We had an awesome time at this accomodation. my father and I were able to reconnect in harmony.

A lovely cottage in the most amazing position on a hill - views in all directions! The large trees on the property were gorgeous and it was lovely to see a few little birds popping up around the place. We absolutely loved this house which was relaxed and well appointed. A few standouts - fantastic blinds (something we've come to appreciate over time!), comfortable furnishings and lots of options for seating outside to avoid the heat of the day.
We found upstairs very hot for sleeping.
A very small thing but the provision of a few more dishwasher tablets and some washing machine detergent would have been appreciated.
Thanks again for a wonderful stay. We hope to return one day!

This place has everything you could need, including (and especially) the 360 deg views. Well-equipped kitchen, good layout, comfortable bed. It rained, the wind howled, but it didn’t matter. If you’re after seclusion and comfort, but still within 15 min driving of Mansfield, this property is a great place to stay. Highly recommended.

A lovely cottage to base yourself while exploring Mansfield and it’s surrounds. The 360 degree views are stunning. The balcony allows you to chase the sun all day long. Very relaxing sitting watching the bird life. The cottage was very clean and had all the basics, even pods for the coffee machine! Marg is very friendly and accommodating. Loved our stay.

A beautiful countryside retreat, excellent views
This was our third stay at Marg’s beautiful high country cottage. It was exactly how we remembered it from the first 2 times, magnificent 360 views, warm and cosy, and just so entirely relaxing. All the homely touches one can expect for a home away from home, comfortable and peaceful. Our family will surely return year after year.

We LOVED our stay at this property. The setting was second to none with incredible views from the porch. Perfect to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the afternoon. The other side of the home welcomed the morning sun which we enjoyed with a cup of tea. The home itself is extremely well appointed with everything you need including great heating! Owner was quick to respond to any queries we had. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you!
