Magic in the Mist
We had a fantastic getaway surrounded by misty rainy weather. The windmills in the mist made us feel like we were in a dystopian clouded futuristic land. We also enjoyed a walk at the Lal Lal Falls and a trip into Ballarat for a Beechworth Bakery breakfast. The cottage was cozy and warm with the fire licking the cold away and the tub soaking our tired bones! The two couches were a nice touch. We spent hours reading and crocheting with plenty of space! The shower was warm with lovely pressure and the bed was so comfortable I didn't wake until morning the first night. What a magic spot and a wonderful cottage!

Bliss
Such a gorgeous cottage in a beautiful location. Very comfy and cosy, including the bed. Didn't use the spa (this time) but definitely will on my next visit. My favourite room was the sun room and I spent quite a bit of time reading in there. The location isnt far from Ballarat if you want to venture out. Although once I arrived, only left the cottage to go for a nice, long walk. Next time, will stay longer!

Our first & only choice for a weekend getaway
This was our 4th visit within the last 2 years & we’re always at peace the moment we arrive in the driveway. Cosy yet spacious little cottage that provides everything we need within a short distance. Thanks once again for providing simplistic but a truly comfortable & inviting place to stay amongst the serenity of Lal Lal. I’ve no doubt we will be back again!

Perfect cottage to enjoy a time of rest and relaxation away from the busyness of life.
We loved this cottage. It is in a quiet location and provides a place where you can totally relax both inside and out. It is very comfortable and just a perfect place for a few days to escape from the demands of a busy life.

Great little cottage close to Ballarat
We stayed for 3 nights and loved the property, especially the spa. The cottage was very spacious for 2 people. However the shower head was broken on arrival and wouldn't stay up. There is plenty of natural lighting into the cottage during the day with blinds on every window except for the bathroom. Also note there isn't an oven if you plan to use one. Overall we enjoyed our stay!!

Third visit
My partner & I love visiting Lal Lal for an easy city getaway. The accomodation is cosy & all the surrounding areas are perfect for the photography, walks etc. Finally saw water flowing down Lal Lal falls which was a highlight! This was our third time staying here this year & we’ll be back again for sure! Thanks for making each stay memorable!

cosy cottage in a serene setting
Overall we enjoyed our two night stay we’re not fussy people, the cottage is cozy in a quiet setting. Just a few extra touches would have made our stay a better one: - if fireplace was ready to light on arrival - if bath salts were provided with the spa - If shower door wasn’t broken with door stuck ajar - if better quality cooking utensils were provided to cook our breakfast - better quality bath towels and soap On arrival, we found the wood pile on front porch to prepare the fireplace but we couldn’t find any matches or newspaper to light it so we had a very cold 1st night. There’s another heater too but we couldn’t find the remote. The next day we called the owners and they were quick to help us find everything).

Beautiful cottage
We had a relaxing weekend away. The cottage was surprisingly spacious and beautifully presented. Very peaceful and not far drive to Ballarat if you needed any supplies. Lots of interesting places to visit in driving distance. We were very happy enjoying the scenery from the verandah and the serenity. Will definitely be back.
