Summary: Nice quiet spot, pity about the barking, mosquitoes and wasps. No WiFi and limited things for kids to do, but we weren't there to stay in the accommodation. We were there to go through Mum's estate.Pip was great. Thanks for the stay.

Summary: Pip, Tom and family are friendly hosts and great people. The location is an enjoyable getaway from busy city life. We took our doggy and were fortunate enough to be shown some sheep & Kelpie herding. The kids really enjoyed it, the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Would love to visit again.

Summary: If you are looking for a stay away from your busy life, this is the spot. Peaceful, scenic with abundant bird life and central to towns in south western Victoria, such as Balmoral, Cavendish, Coleraine, Dunkeld and Hamilton. Easy day trips to the Grampians. On a sheep farm and kelpie stud, you will see some of the day to day working of the property. Your hosts Pip and Tom will make you feel most welcome and the property has everything you need for an enjoyable stay.

Summary: Thanks so much for your hospitality Pip. We loved visiting your corner of the world. Foggy Mt Dundas, starry nights, watching working dogs and the sheep all delightful! This was an ideal base for hiking in the region with walkers of mixed abilities, plus dog!

Summary: We had a lovely time staying at Elfin Cottage. Pip and Tom were very friendly and welcoming and we appreciated very much being able to bring our dog and know that he was safe on the property. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed including a great view and a very effective wood heater. The bed was very comfortable with beautiful linen. We look forward to returning.

Summary: We booked this place to spend few days with family and friend at the country side and away from busy city life. And our expectation was fulfilled. We found Tom and Pip as very friendly and welcoming host. The beds are quite good. The kitchen is well equipped with adequate utensils, cutlery and crockery. The bathroom is satisfactory. There are few areas for improvement - Free wi-fi would have been nice - The gas burner needs servicing as yellow flame deposits black soot on pots and pans - TV reception is poor as expected with indoor antenna. Outdoor antenna will improve the signal strength - Few cobwebs could have been cleaned up
