Jan 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Lovely but beware the details We were a group of 4 adults & 5 kids visiting the area to go on the Puffing Billy. The house was a great close location to Belgrave, clean & tidy and good for our group. It was a pretty hot few days so we were glad we booked a house with air con, however on arrival we realised the air con was only in the 2 upstairs bedrooms that got really hot, not in the living areas or anywhere downstairs. We also bought bbq meat for dinner and didn’t realise the bbq was broken until we went to cook, there was a little sign on top saying broken, use other bbq. The other bbq provide was a charcoal bbq, with no charcoalProvided. Not a good idea in 37 heat on a total fire ban day anyway. It would have been helpful to know this ahead of time. Air con & bbq should be a given. ##### Michelle F. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David M.

This was the perfect weekend getaway location, well positioned next to the Sherbrooke forrest and walking tracks, but also the property itself surrounded by gardens and tall trees. Very nice feel and the place itself had everything thought out. Great entertaining spaces and facilities along with good communication from the hosts. Definitely a hidden gem. Will be back again :) ##### Consta T. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023
