The demountable ‘cottage’ was very well appointed with quality products. Breakfast items provided. Liked the fence for our dog. Host wasn’t home to meet us when we arrived around 4pm. Their dog barked from then till at least midnight. we were trying to get an early night for an early start next day and I felt sorry for the poor dog. Easy 9 min walk to Huntly Hotel, good food.

Cozy and comfy cabin

I spent one night in the cabin with my kids. It was a great accommodation with open space in the front. Nice, tidy and organised stuffs inside. Varieties of board games to enjoy with kids and of course lots of stuffs for snakes and breakfast. Highly recommended.

This lovely property is a quiet cabin in a rural area fully fenced and with a lovely outdoor space. The owners live on the property but are respectful of privacy. While compact, our hosts provided everything that one could need, including many thoughtful touches. The breakfast items, including fresh farm eggs, were generous and very tasty. It is very safe for a pet dog, and our border collie spent hours gazing through the fence at the chooks that ranged around the yard. We would certainly consider staying at this property again, not only as a stop on a road trip, but as a base to explore the Bendigo region. Thanks to our wonderful hosts for their incredible hospitality.
