Loved the cottage. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and we had a lovely chat while watching the aplacas. Would definitely stay again

Oh, the peace and quiet of the country! What a peaceful and relaxing location, only minutes from town!
There was a lovely fire lit for our arrival, the beds were comfortable and the alpacas adorable!

This was a great way to experience how life was 160 years ago. Even though the house has had many changes over the years you can still see many original parts.
Note these old farm houses never had proper foundations and were never straight plumb and level. This is an important part of our history - don't expect too much.
The owners did their best to make the house comfortable without making it all new.
We enjoyed our stay
thank you

We found this little cottage cosy and comfortable and was close to shops. This 1850 home is decorated with detail to suit the period, and it felt like we'd stepped back in time. With the low price and tranquil area, the cottage was a great choice for our stay.

We had a productive weekend working in this old-world cottage in a quiet location. The kitchen was fairly well equipped, heater made the winter evenings cosy, and beds were very comfortable.
Not recommended for active kids as there are lots of hanging breakables.

Wanted somewhere cosy whilst attending a first birthday. This place was absolutely as described but better. So much history everywhere U look. Particularly loved the sunny kitchen. Had the best nights sleep I've had in a long time. Hosts go above and beyond. Loved feeding the alpacas and getting doggo cuddles.
5.0 / 5.0
Very quaint old style cottage with a good historical vibe.
3 35-45yr old men were very comfortable as we were only in area for a wedding.
A little remote but that didn't bother us as we had transport, amenities are still within walking distance (30-40 min,but we're ex ADF so...)
Hosts were very friendly & kept us topped with firewood. There is some local nature areas very close if you're into birding. Overall very comfortable for a nice price.

Amazing property. Well preserved and maintained in old style. Feels like living in 1800s.
Hope property like this survive for many more years to come.

Loved the house, very cozy weekend away relaxing in front of the fire. House was great and kids loved the old style fittings and had plenty of room outside to play and enjoy.
2.0 / 5.0
Fridge did not have a freezer, therefore we had to throw out food. We paid extra for linen, there was a flanette sheet on the double bed on the hottest day of the year and in summer, there were not sheets in the 2nd bedroom. The TV was tiny. One of the bedroom doors didnt close. We killed 2 whitetailed spiders in the cottage. The carpets were stained. In the main bedroom the wardrobe didnot open - no where to hang up clothes, the elect power point was not working next to the verandah. Overall very disappointed, the place was way overpriced. The place was very clean and towells lovely, along with toiletries. The scenery was great, saw lots of kangaroos.

The cottage smelled like it hadn’t been opened in months, a pile of dead flies fell out when I opened the back door.
No bed linen is supplied but one of the beds in the twin room was made up and had clearly been slept in.
Quaint in the worst way.

Cute, cozy (long) weekend retreat
Feels like you're away from the rat race but still with everything you need not far from hand.
Recommend taking the time to 'help' feed the Alpacas !
Fire being already lit was wonderful!
Thank you Catherine

What an amazing stay! The cottage was warm and cozy and just delightful. The amenities were spot on and the bed was so comfortable. Also wonderful to be able to see the many alpacas in the paddock. We will be back!

Nice location, lovely hosts, quaint cottage, a little dark
I can’t really comment on the property because I stayed only one night after realising that my decision to get away on my own over Christmas was not good for my mental health. Catherine and her husband were very understanding of my situation and I would endorse them as hosts without reservation.

Just don’t do it
We have often stayed in rustic style cabins before but this was not up to standards. We were told to bring our own bedding, which is not a problem, but when I went to make up the bed it was soiled & with dirty marks. At this point we repacked our car. Only staying at the property 1 hour. Also the ground’s were unkept & overall it was un inviting.

Lovely old cottage
We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It is a very atmospheric place which made us think about early settlers' lifestyle but, in the same time, we had all necessaries which we are used to have nowadays. Catherine and her husband are very friendly hosts. Our kids were very excited to feed animals.

Cute cottage in the Macedon Ranges
My daughter and her children spent a few nights at this cottage, as we were having a family birthday party and our house was full to overflowing. They found it very cute and comfortable, very rustic. The air conditioning was much appreciated during the hot spell. The children really enjoyed exploring the cottage and everyone had a good time.
