Just lovely
As we have regular visitors from the UK, we like to show them other places around our beautiful state of Victoria. We chose this property for its proximity to Marysville and its interesting features, plus the suitability of a 3 bedroom house. The grounds are spectacular and well kept with a delightful creek winding past the back garden. Our visitors were very impressed with it too.

Old boys getaway
We have worked together for more than 18yrs and try to get away for a weekend once or twice a year. Since we have retired we can take the opportunity for a midweek escape. We found our accommodation to to be very clean and comfortable. Set in a beautiful local, with well maintained grounds and backing on to a beautiful stream. We loved our stay and would be happy to go back again.

Perfection in every way
Our weekend away was perfect. House is beautiful, clean and comes with everything we needed. Comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen and the kids had a great time exploring the lovely gardens and playing near the river. Nights reclining by the fire were so relaxing after a big day at the snow. David was a great host and a must have is a Buxton burger when in town. Will definitely be back here again next winter!

An amazing property to spend a weekend away with family. We spent the days at Lake Mountain ski'ing and enjoying the snow and the nights by the fireplace. Recharged for the week ahead!
