Black Horse Park is centrally and ideally located; 15 mins to Mansfield township 20 mins to Mt Buller 10 mins to Goughs Bay 15 mins to Macs Cove, Howqua Inlet and Jamieson.
While in the high country why not pack a picnic lunch and take a leisurely drive to the King Valley wine region, stopping at Powers Lookout along the way, it's simply breathtaking.

Lake Eildon is only 10 minutes away so why not bring your boat, we have heaps of room to park it safely.
Goughs Bay has three great concrete ramps so you can always access the lake no matter what the water level is.
Besides all the usual water sport activities you should try the bars / restaurants on the waters edge, just pull up, tie up and enjoy.

These are just a few of the wonderful activities on offer in this amazing area.

The place is a beautiful place in a peaceful location. Directions and communications with the host were great. The place had everything we needed and was nice and warm with the fire place and a split system and a heater in the bathroom. Comfortable beds with extra blankets. Then only thing i would say is some instructions for the stove top would have ben helpful (coming from cooking on gas I had to google how to turn the electric stove top on) but worked fine once we got it going. Thanks so much for a great place for our group for a few days. Cheers

I always see accommodation on the internet and assume it isn't always quite what it seems, but not this property - the Chapel was magnificent - so beautiful, warm, cosy, clean, comfortable - everything we needed was catered for - the property was stunning, so beautiful, I could not recommend this property enough!! great for a base to stay and travel, or just utilise all the facilities on the property!! It was extremely stunning

Fantastic Cottage getaway!
Fantastic Cottage getaway!
We have just returned from a 4 day stay at Pin Oak Cottage with another family. Gorgeous place with ample sleep space for all. Very neat and clean with comfey beds,plenty of extra blankets too for snuggling on the soft couch. The heater and the woodfire kept us all super cozy and we were lucky enough that lovely Rob had the fire lit and ready for us when we arrived later on a rainy cold night...absolute heaven!! There is a fab outdoor firepit and bar area to sit and enjoy the colourful sunset and sounds of the country, also options for BBQ or firepit cooking. The kids loved the beautiful and super friendly resident pups Maggie and Bella aswell as the cows and 2 miniature ponies who love a pat 😊. So much space for them to run and play and a tyre swing out on an old tree, badminton, croquet set, games, Netflix....they were never bored. It was such a fab experience and we would love to return again one day, I highly reccommend this charming property. Thankyou so much for having us.
