There were 9 of us in all ranging from a 6 months old baby to my husband and I in our sixties - and everyone felt relaxed and at home in this delightful older residence. The property manager, Carole, was a dream to deal with ensuring that the memories of our Healesville stay will be happy ones.

My husband & I, our 2 sons, 2 daughter-in-laws and 3 grandchildren finally had our weekend at Healesville Getaway in November. It was originally planned for July but a lockdown was called the day before we were due to go. Carole, the owner, kindly rescheduled our stay until September, but once again we went into lockdown and it was rescheduled to November. This was a special family celebration and I can't thank Carole enough for her assistance to us. To find a dog friendly house with 5 bedrooms to accommodate 9 people was amazing in itself but to also find that the house was perfect for our needs was an absolute bonus. The house is extremely well equipped and has excellent heating. It was so nice to find that our beds and pillows were super comfortable too. We cooked up a storm on both nights and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need, even fresh milk in the fridge on arrival. The oven and fridge are both huge which was also great. Yes, the house is not new, but we found it homely, comfortable and very dog friendly. Carole is a wonderful, flexible host and a great communicator. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather for our weekend in Healesville and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Thanks Carole for helping us to make it all happen......eventually :-)

House was nice Close to town Big enough for a big group.

The house was a perfect set up to accomodate 2 familes. Warm, cosy and had everything we needed. Carole was a fabulous host.

We were a group of 5 friends who enjoyed a short weekend stay in the property. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked and it was a 15 min walk into town. Would definitely recommend!

A great host who was very helpful and communicated well. Property suited our needs. Was a little dated but felt homey.

The property owner was very helpful and set the bedrooms up nicely for our arrival, there was milk in the fridge which was a lovely touch. The house was comfortable and the location was about 15min walking distance to the main strip but only a 3min drive. If your looking for something easy and reasonably priced for a larger group this would work nicely. Carole thanks for the opportunity to use your property.

The house is so nice and spacious. Walking distance to gin distillery

This property was everything we were after. Quiet location but close enough to town. Carole was easy to deal with. A fantastic weekend away.

Spacious, lovely home with lots of room to relax. Enjoyed being able to walk down to Four Pillars gin and Watts River brewing from the house.

A perfect place for our extended family getaway ( ages ranging from 8-80s) Carole was excellent host, sent lots of info and even offered late checkout. Spacious, comfortable and clean with lots of lovely homely touches. Also 2 lounge areas . The kitchen is well set out and there’s a BBQ too. Town is less than 2 km stroll away.lots of activities for all ages. We all loved it

This house is very dated and had a very distinctive smell of dampness throughout the home with the general condition of home both inside and out requiring a major makeover and maintenance required also the furniture is very dated and requires updating .Very disappointed in this house for the price paid

Had a great time in Healesville with a large group. Carole was very helpful and easy to communicate with, and the house was close to cafes and shops when needed. Thanks for having us!

Communication with owner was excellent and very accommodating regarding set-up. House much larger than expected, great terrace and garden.

I stayed here with my extended family over December 29-31 2019 - it was boiling hot outside, and this house was a little haven where we could spend time together. It is an older house, so there are a few small things not working (but which Carole the property manager has mentioned she's fixing). But overall a really lovely stay and very well stocked with kitchen equipment, a well-functioning stove and oven, etc. Bedrooms were comfortable and there were so many of them, the living room and kitchen was great to spend time together but there was also enough space across the house to retreat for kids' (and adults!) naps. Best of all, it was also pet-friendly, which meant our little family dog Togo could come along as well. Carole was super-communicative throughout the whole trip and very helpful - thanks again Carole!

Reasonably comfortable but possums in the roof were disruptive. Ringtail family in the window-cute but noisy at night. One door doesn’t lock and the front deck and garden need serious attention. This property just needs some TLC. Beds all nicely made up and stocked well to provide for the family of 11.

We really enjoyed Healesville Getaway, the huge house was charming, comfortable and impeccably clean with everything you can imagine provided and modern upgrades to the kitchen and all the bathrooms. We were 6 adults, 3 kids (aged 3 and under) and a dog and there was more than enough room for all of us. Carole the Property Manager was very communicative and wonderfully helpful, particularly when a storm took out power to the whole town just as we arrived and we had no idea what was going on or where anything was in the dark! As animal lovers, the visits from lots of native wildlife were a nice added bonus too.

We needed accommodation for one night as our daughter was getting married just out of Healesville. Carole was so helpful allowing us to check in early so we could park of things and get into our glad rags and get there relaxed and ready to enjoy the day.

We all enjoyed our stay in this charming old house. The beds were very comfortable but more attention needs to be paid to the front yard. The trees need to be trimmed so you can see the driveway & house number & also up the driveway so as not to brush the side of your car as you enter & leave. I would also suggest mowing the grass in the front yard.

Plenty of room inside and clean facilities. We appreciated earlier access . Upstairs heating does not appear to be working. Externally property is very overgrown, lawns had not been mown for some time. Decking and railing are in need of major repair. No signage at the entry, hard to see from road due to overgrowth.

Comfortable house , great location, host was very easy to deal with.

The house was quaint and very clean and comfortable. The host was lovely and extremely thorough leading up to the booking. The check in email was exceptionally thorough! With only a 15 minute walk into town and a close drive to plenty of wineries this was a great location. The only issue to be mindful of is the neighbors were sensitive to noise. Otherwise I would recommend this as a place to stay

Fantastic accommodation for our weekend stay in Healesville for 11 Adults. House was perfect for what we needed. Excellent, location and size. Carole the owner made the booking so simple and easy with all the information we needed. Would defiantly rebook for our next stay in Healesville and would highly recommend this accommodation especially for large groups whether it be families or adults. Thx heaps Carole

this large house suitable for us to get rest after the function, it is clean, full kitchen facilities to entertaining.

And excellent assistance from Carol

The property was clean, comfortable and had everything you could need for a weekend away. In fact even more room than we needed! Our host was super organized, thoughtful and communicative. An excellent experience. Really great location - walking distance to Healesville and the great boutique shopping (and distilleries). And on the doorstep of some of Victoria's most well known wine names.

Carol goes out of her way to ensure your needs are met. Great experience ! Would recommend

The property was cosy amd very clean and everything was set up for us beautifully: We all had a bed as the owner set up the ten beds and everything was very clean and tidy. About twenty minutes walk over the hill to town and this was not far at all.we all loved our stay and for all of us was perfect.

Healesville Getaway is a spacious and homely retreat in Healesville. We were a large group, but the house comfortably accommodated four adults and seven children. The property was clean and the kitchen well appointed. It's location is also ideal, being in a quiet street not far from the centre of town, local attractions, restaurants and wineries.

Four couples shared the house during a weekend away in Healesville. The house was exactly what we expected and we thought it was good value for money. Carole was good and responsive host. We'd stay again if we were in town and would recommend the house to others.

A fantastic weekend for 8 friends enjoying the delights of Healesville. Warm and comfy home with super friendly and generous host

Owners was terrific to deal with. House was clean and tidy. We were very warm. Only issue was very slow oven and could do with some better sharp knives.
