We’ll definitely be back
We really enjoyed our stay especially with the wood fire and the spa (I had 2). Only problem was the internet is very patchy and often couldn’t connect. Only Telstra devices worked.

A gem in the Grampians
What a lovely stay we had for 2 nights. Secluded, private and yet a short drive into town. We were surrounded by a forest of gum trees and home to kookaburras, cockatoos, kangaroos and we even spotted deers! The kids loved it and spent half of the time exploring. We hiked up to the pinnacle and enjoyed the Halls Gap shops and hotel for dinner. The house was well equipped, very clean which I really appreciated and comfortable. The fire place was magic. Thank you - we hope to come back and stay longer next time!

Peaceful and Comfortable
Our stay at “Roos with a view” was just what we had hoped for as accommodation for a relaxing weekend away to catch up with interstate friends. It was totally as described. It was very clean, which is something I always look for. 2 very comfortable queen size beds. It is in a quiet location backing on to bush so very peaceful. We found it just perfect for us and would definitely stay again if we have the opportunity. Thank you Frank for your hospitality

Warm welcoming home in a quiet court in Halls Gap
The house was perfect for our stay. It was a short drive from the centre of Halls Gap. Fully equipped kitchen, spa bath, solid fuel heater and firewood and air conditioner. We were even spoiled with a coffee machine and coffee beans. Lots of wildlife around and forest behind the house. It was so peaceful. We will definitely be back.

Lovely place for a family holiday
A lovely house in a great location. Well appointed and we loved seeing the kangaroos daily. The only hiccup was the intermittent internet access, which, with no phone reception, made connection with the outside world difficult. But would otherwise recommend

Nice quiet property for a great getaway
A nice quiet property, check in process very easy and straightforward as well as a good location. The only unfortunate thing was that the house did have a bit of a strange smell inside.

My idea of the perfect holiday house
We stayed here for two nights en route to South Australia from Melbourne. So quiet, clean and beautiful. Wildlife was abundant, the fire was on, the wood was plentiful and it was just perfect. Only minor gripe is that the clothes dryer was out of action. If a property is advertised as having a particular feature, it ought to be in working order.

Girls retreat away!
Overall a lovely homely feel, and nice and clean. Only 3 minor things to mention: - some spare towels would have been handy (bath towels, face washers, hand towels ) - the full length mirror in the Queen bedroom was extremely dirty (could see a previous stayer’s lipstick kiss on it still) - and since the recliner foot rests didn’t work (which is fine) a couple of poufs/ottomans would have been handy. But apart from those few above things, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ☺️👍🏽
