Summary: We greatly enjoyed our stay and would love to return some time. The cottage has great charm and historical interest, as well as being comfortable and well equipped. The countryside and the animals and birds add to the beauty of the place. It is very well situated and ideal for visiting Woodend and other nearby towns. Catherine is an excellent host and responded swiftly to any enquiries that we had.

Summary: Lovely old cottage, with so much character! We met with Carlos and Basil who was a highlight with our little ones.Only disappointment was it not having animals the children could interact with (sheep and alpacas were in distant paddocks).

Summary: Just what we needed after a busy few weeks. Quiet, and beautifully furnished and decorated in the style of ‘yesteryear’. Ideal for reading, sleeping, chatting, board games and just taking ‘time out’.Beautiful location surrounded by pasture land, the occasional kangaroo in the distance and easy access to places in the region.We recommend the Three Little Pigs in Gisborne for brunch.(PS A new wooden spoon for the kitchen might be a good idea).

Summary: Very rustic cottage in nice surrounds. Had a musty feel, with old relics and furniture. TV was very small and the volume button didn’t work. Air conditioner worked well. Bathroom was adequate. The mattress dipped in the middle. Enjoyed our stay. Ka

Summary: I spent five enjoyable days here and liked the feel of stepping back in time. The hosts were very polite and easy to communicate with and left me to myself.

Summary: This was a great way to experience how life was 160 years ago. Even though the house has had many changes over the years you can still see many original parts. Note these old farm houses never had proper foundations and were never straight plumb and level. This is an important part of our history - don't expect too much. The owners did their best to make the house comfortable without making it all new. We enjoyed our stay thank you

Summary: We found this little cottage cosy and comfortable and was close to shops. This 1850 home is decorated with detail to suit the period, and it felt like we'd stepped back in time. With the low price and tranquil area, the cottage was a great choice for our stay.
