Honest, basic, clean and exactly as advertised

The owner of the property Bruce is a good man. We stayed there for two nights in winter and the heater kept us warm. A great place for family to stay at a reasonable price. Overall my family had nice experience. If your mob provider is not Telstra, just a sim card for short term so that you have access to mob network to be able to use GPS to get around in that rural area.

Thank you Bruce ... All was fantastic... Till next time ...

It's old and a bit shabby, but had everything we needed for a ski holiday. Gas fire was great, beds and pillows comfortable, plenty of hot water.

Lovely place to live as a family, kids friendly environment. My daughter enjoyed drawing using colours and the games for kids. We felt like we were at home. It was a very nice place to stay for holidays. We cooked our own good and enjoyed lovely views around the house. Loved the hills and the lake, it felt so relaxing and peaceful. Only heating was not really working good but we used a spare heater to make it more warmer. I recommend this Property to those who go with a family

Only comment TV remote

Property had everything we required and had a good time exploring the area. Bruce was very helpful answering any questions we had.

Neat Clean Great location

Cosy older style home close to the water, only a short walk with a lovely safe swimming spot. Lovely host who gave clear instructions for directions. House had everything we needed and had a wonderful weekend with friends.

Property is old, but comfortable. Had everything we needed. Just needed to take linen and towels. We had a lovely relaxing time, Hubby caught some fish and we had our 10 month pup with us which was great to be able to take with us. Yard was not fully dog proof but veranda was. Jamison had a great off leash walk down by the rivers

As advertised. Outdoor old furniture was past its use by date and a little scruffy.

No hassles, and even very friendly neighbour.

The cottage was lovely. It clean and comfortable. We had a great time.

We had some booking confusion, arising I think from me having to change my booking. There was a second Stayz host communicating with us, who thought we were staying with her.

Was very suitable for what we needed. Cheap and close to Mt Buller

Host was very prompt in responding and also was patient to answer all questions struggled a bit without WiFi , but overall had a lovely Stay ..

Property is clean, warm and quiet place

just what we needed on short notice everything that we needed very cosy for my family we will be back. Was also very clean and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Bruce

Had a lovely stay at the cottage. All the necessities that you would need.

Had a great stay in this beautiful area, so much to do, lake less than 5 minute walk from the house, short drive to the Mansfield maze (highly recommended for kids and gardeners) and zoo. Great winery to visit with impressive views at Dellatite winery and beautiful Jamieson. Not so much at Howqua, but perfect spot to reach other local highlights, area is so beautiful in autumn. The cabin is basic but warm and had everything we needed. Fire out the back was a highlight for the kids, helpful neighbours pointed out which wood to use. Noisy water pumps may be disturbing for light sleepers, but didn't phase us. Overall a nice stay, but increased prices for over long weekend made it feel a bit expensive for a simple cabin.

Easy access, great host and very accommodating. Would recommend anyone to stay who is looking for an easy and beautiful stay.

Great location to the lake, Quiet, Plenty of Parking. Thankyou.

We had the best stay at Bruce’s property. It’s simple and lived in, which gives it such a homely, cosy feel we adored. It’s also impeccably clean, and has everything you need. It’s a quick but lovely 15 mins drive to towns and boat ramps, but it’s also secluded enough to make you really feel like ‘you’re away’. Bruce is also great to communicate with, with all the info and tips we could need. Sitting on that deck at sunrise or sunset is just amazing. We’ll be back.

My dogs and I had a great time staying at Ploughing Cottage. It was very comfortable and homey. You could walk to the lake within 5 mins and centrally located. Thank you Bruce and look forward to seeing you soon

Located right next to the lake, suitable for a couple and kids

our trip started there , with the air conditioner freezing up , and was not working properly , so a very hot stay with just the fan going on the air conditioner , The furniture Lounge Suite and chairs , have no support strapping and are very uncomfortable , outdoor furniture is old and you sink into it , very poor , the lounge fly screen had holes in it , and we got invaded by bugs at night , also we had cockroaches and silver fish in the house , i sat on a kitchen chair and the leg struts pulled out , if my partner had not spotted it , it would have collapsed , so in all very unhappy , not worth the money i paid !!

Loved the fact that the house was setup to entertain the kids, with the board games and tv in their bedroom. House was cosy enough to hold 2 adults, 4 kids and 2 small dogs. Facilities provided was great, especially for things I had forgotten at home. The use of the BBQ and covered area made dinner easy. We love the area where the house is. Will definitely come back.

Looking for something affordable and short notice on Melbourne cup weekend had us booked in. Having spent time in howqua many years back it was as I expected. Easy walk to the lake edge for a walk in the morning or a quiet beer in the evening watching the sunset.

We had a great stay for a weekend at the snow. Takes about 1 hr to get to Buller. House was like a proper old skool holiday house. Has everything you need and comfortable for a family get away. Host was brilliant. Recommended

This is a really lovely little town!! Nice walk along the bank of the lake. It’s close enough to Mansfield, but far enough for plenty of peace and quiet! The view of the stars at night was breathtaking!! The cabin is pretty small and very basic. It was the middle of winter and the electric blankets were really welcome!! The heater got a pretty hard workout too!

The landlord is very welcoming and the property was tidy and clean it was a little bit old but all facilities were working perfectly and the house was warm and cosy.
