We had a wonderful stay at The Shak, it was the cutest space, with absolutely everything to make our stay so comfortable. The breakfast hamper and treats were next level, and the bed adorned with quality linen, was so comfy. A beautiful bunch of red roses on the kitchen table just reminded me of home, they were just stunning. We would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful space in an enchanting garden, can't forget to mention Daisy, the dog, she will come over for a cuddle if you are a dog lover, or not if you aren't. Thanks Alison and Mark

We had a great time staying in the shack, it was very clean, had a beautiful ambience to the room with a lovely fireplace and limited mobile connection so really great to switch off. Alison was a lovely host, she prepared a generous breakfast hamper and was very welcoming. I would love to stay again and would highly recommend.

We are a gorgeous weekend thank you

The property had a great feel like being in a Tuscan villa in Tuscany. The hostess was lovely. Thankyou for your generous items for breakfast.

We had a lovely weekend in this cute cottage - especially enjoyed the log fire and the beautiful breakfast items that Alison left for us. My only difficulty was not being able to stand under the shower to wash my hair as it was a fixed shower head that was quite low. Would highly recommend though.

The shack was a gorgeous little getaway. Alison went above and beyond. The welcome basket was beautiful and stocked full of goodies. Place was clean and had everything we needed. The back gate made it very private and was very easy to use. Perfect couple retreat. Highly recommend.

Would stay their again

A cosy cottage on a lovely property, very quiet, only a short drive to local shops and attractions.

The cottage was super cosy and relaxing! The most perfect weekend get away!

Unacceptable to open a gate in not good condition. No lighting in driveway.

We recently stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary and it was such a delight. The Shack has everything you need and Alison is such a lovely host. We were surprised on arrival with a bottle of champagne, chocolates and roses. Such a lovely touch. Plus a generous supply of food for breakfast which was perfect, the homemade muesli was delicious. I would highly recommend staying here for a cosy couples weekend.

VERY SMART LITTLE COTTAGE ON THE GROUNDS OF A LARGE HOUSE WITH BEAUTIFUL GARDENS. GREAT LOCATION FOR A GREAT AREA WITH LOTS TO SEE AND DO. ALLISON WAS VERY HELPFUL AND PLEASANT TO DAL WITH. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ACCOMODATION!

Alison & Mark were so welcoming in accomodating our adult daughter’s every need when she arrived from London. Thank you for taking such great care and thinking of everything.

Gorgeous cottage situated in beautiful garden. Very relaxing and comfortable stay and owners made me feel very welcome.

This property is absolutely divine. It is a cosy little cottage with all the small touches that make it amazing. The grounds were so beautiful and to be able to walk around the garden and a special show by Daisy made the weekend. Allison is a wonderful host and gave us privacy but was available if needed. We will be back.

We've just come back from a fantastic stay at The Shack in Woodend. It was a lovely little cottage that was very charming and very comfortable. It was very clean and had everything you could want for a great getaway. The owner Alison has thought of it all; from the stocked fridge filled with fresh eggs, milk, fresh berries, yummy bread, homemade muesli and little bakery treats. There is an open fire which was welcome as it was a freezing weekend in Woodend. The grounds of the place are lovely too, and you are able to walk around and explore. We would highly recommend this place and we hope to be back to stay ourselves very soon.

The Shack is a cosy warm and inviting perfect little quiet hideaway. It has all the mod cons while feeling like you are far away hidden from all the stresses of eveday life. Internet reception is very poor so if you are planning on working forget about it. It is purely for those who want r & r. We were greeted with a bottle of champagne and chocolates with a beautiful card wishing us a happy anniversary. Alison had stocked up with beautiful fresh bread, fruit, milk, yoghurt, eggs and snacks a plenty. Great place to snuggle by the fire and enjoy a bottle of wine and relax which is exactly what we did Thanks so very much Alison.

My partner and I had a great stay in The Shack. The cottage had everything we needed, was super cute and tidy. And Alison was the perfect host - friendly and helpful but also very respectful of our privacy. The brekkie supplies and other bits and pieces available were very much appreciated. Couldn't ask for more, thanks!

My husband I stayed at The Shack for our first weekend away with our new baby. As anxious new parents, we were looking for a cosy spot to enjoy some quiet time away from the city.The Shack was the perfect space for us, beautifully furnished, warm and inviting with the wood burning fire, fully equipped kitchen filled with delicious local and home made food (more than enough for breakfast for 2 each day) a lovely bathroom and super comfy bed. The grounds were perfect for a morning stroll through the mist around the lake, and close enough to Daylesford and Hepburn for our daytime adventures. Alison and Mark were exceptional hosts, and Daisy the retriever was an added bonus! We couldn’t recommend them more highly.Thank you for making our first family weekend away a breeze, and Jake would very much like the recipe for Alison’s amazing muesli!
