Viola- cottage retreat in Hepburn Springs

Comfortable cottage in a lovely setting, with nicely furnished lounge and dining room. It has aircon in the lounge and dining with fans in the bedrooms which was just OK (it was 40 degrees when we visited). The cottage is quite spacious with a good size kitchen with oven and plenty of cooking equipment, great shower – it looked really good. It does however, have some maintenance issues.

Front deck furniture only had thin cushions to sit on and was dirty, stained and mouldy. There were chipped plates and bowls, some broken utensils. Door to the back deck could use a new lock with proper door handle. The BBQ on the rear deck was disgusting – not cleaned for a long time. The cleaning gear was filthy – we had to clean it first before attacking the BBQ. The rear deck gets all the afternoon sun in summer and has no shade, so it was too hot to use the dining table and chairs outside. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there, but it was a bit disappointing that some things were neglected – it is a nice place and deserves a little more attention to detail.

Cottage came equipped with all of the required basic kitchen ingredients, milk, tea/coffee, luxurious toiletries, ample toilet paper and iron/iron8ng board. Air con in lounge & kitchen and roof fans in bedrooms. Lovely decks for kicking back. Beautiful quality bedlinen & towels.

A little more rustic than I expected, but still very happy with it - would love to visit again.

Great location, quiet and cute cottage.

No suggestions!

The location is amazing! Really loved how quiet it was. The place felt safe and there is plenty of garden space and parking. The fireplace was nice too. Everything was clean. The gardens were amazing because there was so much space and sitting on the deck was really lovely in the sun. We loved that we could bring our pet to this property too! All in all we had a good stay but there were just some things we wished were a bit better but otherwise it was good!

We had a good stay but there were definitely things that we wished could be improved such as the following. The heating could only go up to 23 degrees on the remote but we were pretty cold at some stages during our stay. The gravel road turning into the property really needs some repair as both our cars struggled to get through the big ditch. The beds could have been more comfortable and this was definitely something we wished was better about the property. It was hard to have a good night of rest for any of us. They need bigger and sharper knives for cooking. Value for money wise, if those things were addressed we would've given it 5 stars!
