Great family holiday
What a beautiful house that caters to so many different needs and holidayers. Perfect for our family getaway with our dog. If you’re there for some fishing we suggest you bring/hire a boat as shoreline fishing isn’t really successful. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!!!

Great family accommodation in a good location
all the needs for a family stay have been thought out well. Ski equipment, bird spot, games and dvd's, everything! It's the ideal spot to stay if visiting Mansfield or Mt. Buller Pls take really rugged quilts and portable heaters as it does get cold!

Lovely house, great location
House was lovely but if your travelling with small kids it takes a while to heat up and the bedroom on the laundry side is very very cold. Also the kitchen sponges for washing dishes looked very old and needed replacing, it was quite gross to look at and no one wanted to touch them. Otherwise the house was kid friendly and neat and tidy , nice area to stay in as well.

Great weekend away from City life. Enjoyed the wild life experience.
Kids enjoyed feeding the birds each afternoon on the deck. We enjoyed the fire place the first night. Mansfield Zoo is very close and was a great experience for all. Overall we had a relaxing and joyful time.

Great spot. Comfy home and great for kids.
Really enjoyed the two nights. Our young children loved the swing in the backyard just as much as we enjoyed the big entertainment deck.

Great home for a holiday. Clean, comfortable and highly functional. Feels like a home away from home
We stay each year in this little gem. Our family love this quietness, the big large deck at the back and the homely feel. Super functional house with the 2 bathrooms, and is always clean and fresh. We highly recommend Kaishua House.

Very comfortable house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kaishua House. Very warm and cosy, peaceful location too. Highly recommended for holiday, no matter how short or long! The children's toys and books were loved by my three year old. The welcome chocolates were a nice little bonus. Thank you to Kyrstie and Jeff for sharing your house with us, we'll be recommending it to our friends.

Very comfortable :)
We really enjoyed our stay, it was very accommodating for a large group. The location was great, a little away but not too far from many attractions. The children enjoyed feeding the birds and the board games. It was also very inviting as the heater was already going upon arrival and saved us a little money as we used the houses toboggans and a couple pieces of snow gear. We have already recommended to friends and family.

Holidaying from Sydney with my family and my mother in tow, Kaishua House was just perfect for our holiday in the High Country. This house is well appointed and perfectly suited for a family holday. The little extras just made it feel like a "home away from home".With Mansfield and all of it's services only 15min away and the Mountains and the Lake so accessable from this quaint little town, the house is excellent to use as a base for day trips or just to sit back and watch the world go by in the serenity of the country. Having all the birds eating out of your hand was a bonus as well that the kids really enjoyed.Would gladly stay at Kaishua House when next in the area, and will be recommending to family and friends as well.

What a stunning holiday house! A short drive to Mt Buller to play in the snow, close to lake Eildon, parrots that eat out of your hand on the deck, a trampoline and toys for the kids!No expense has been spared at this property and that makes you feel like your staying in a 5 star motel.Will definitely be staying again, and recommending to everyone who wants accommodation that is liken a home away from home.WARNING: You won't want to leave!!
