Be amongst nature in the 1890s farmhouse - a time you will never forget.

Be amongst nature in the 1890s farmhouse - a time you will never forget.

10/10 Excellent
"Highland House provided the exact restful and peaceful getaway we needed. Travelling with someone who has mobility challenges can be tough, but the accessible entrance through the garage and seamless flat level through the main bedroom, kitchen and living area made our stay easy and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need, and waking up to those amazing views was a highlight. A special thanks to our host, who went above and beyond when I lost my phone on the property and reached out for extra assistance."

8/10 Good
"Beautiful home and location for a holiday. We really enjoyed using the house as a base for exploring Gloucester & surrounds. The spa and sauna are woodfired and a bit tricky to get going. Wood was provided but it was really not suitable. It would be best if you brought your own like the bags of smaller pieces you get from bunnings would be ideal. Also good to know there is only 1 small fridge so eskies & ice may be needed for drinks and backup to keep things cold."
