Fantastic renovation. House was very clean. Very close to off lead dog park and easy access to Cherry Walk. We all enjoyed our stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
A beautiful house with all the essentials to make the stay comfortable and very pleasant including a kitchen with lots of utensils and pans for self catering, dishwashing powder in the laundry and welcome treats for us. The house is super clean and well presented. Catherine was excellent with her communication and recommendations of places to eat. A superb location close to parks and a track along the Ovens River into the main street. Quiet and beautiful. Highly recommend for a family group.
