About this house rental
Reconnect with friends and family over drinks in-front of a fireplace like no other. Toast marshmallows (that we supply as a thankyou gift), laugh, chat, play pool, table tennis or cards in this amazing space all while cooking your food in a purpose built large communal kitchen. If cooking is not your thing then get some tasty peninsula takeaway. With a gorgeous view of the sunset, an outdoor alfresco area with fire pit and plenty of space. If you need to unwind, relax in the most epicically beautiful bath.
The space
This property was made originally in the 1970s from reclaimed materials. Every brick, doorway and window had come from another property. The cathedral ceiling trusses were reclaimed from the old Masonics hall in Franskton. Let degrade over the decades, this property was purchased, lovingly renovated and reclaimed yet again over 4 years and turned into the beautiful lodge.
Guest access
You have access to the full property up until the end of the building. We ask that you do not go down the driveway as it tapers downhill. The back section of the property is out of bounds until this is finished but don't worry. You still have plenty of space. The paddocks and chickens are viewable from the lodge but these too are inaccessible to guests too.
Other things to note
It is recommended to bring lots of firewood. We supply a box full and have cut wood that can be used at an additional price. We will be accessing the back of the property occasionally while you stay. As it is a very large space, heating is difficult away from the fire place so remember your layers and warm woolies in the colder months. the pool is available in peak warmer months from Nov- April. This is an older country rustic estate that has its quirks but it is homely, comfy and uniquely special.

The house was perfect for our group of 18 and Kat was a great host. I will be staying here again.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2025
Kat was nice in person, and the facilities and location was great overall, however there are some areas that could be improved Communication was frankly very poor. As examples - I messaged if we could check in early and did not receive an answer. The text chain was essentially "are we able to check in at 12 instead of 2 on Saturday?". And the reply was "I am running a workshop on Friday." ... So maybe that means no but it's not really a direct answer and it's pretty easy to say yes or no to a simple and common request - the host said she tried to called me to discuss extra fees for linen but couldn't get through. Given I have no voice messages, missed calls, or texts of any kind even when calling message bank this is not particularly believable. Even giving her benefit of the doubt and saying she has tried to call, this means she has tried once and didn't try again, and also it means she has wanted to contact me but then didn't bother texting in the app even though we had already had a text chain. Lastly, there is a 25 fee per bed on top of the listed price if you want linen provided. This is not very easy to find in the listing at all, so aside from being overpriced to provide bed sheets, it feels quite dishonest as it's buried in the fine print. Basically it would not be hard to make that more visible and obvious.Finally, there is no fan/AC in the main living space so it can get quite hot.
