Home away from home
My friend and I stayed for the one week duration of Grampians Texture 2025. It was perfect for us. Provided every comfort we needed and plenty of space for our creative work amongst a beautiful quiet bush setting. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds comfortable.. would loved to have used the wood heater but was not the time of year. I imagine it would have created a very cosy atmosphere in the living space. It was a lovely stay.

Cosy and quiet
We had a great break at this cosy cottage. It was toasty and warm with the fire on. So nice to be at the end of a quiet court backing on to the bush with plenty of wildlife. Far enough away from the busyness of town but still close to all the attractions.

US visitors and 'us'.
Home away from home. Everything needed was provided. Airconditioning enabled us to enjoy very hot weather. Local fauna entertained our OS friends. Close to town of Halls Gap and its facilities. Both Information and Cultural centres very helpful. Lovely indigenous souvenirs at the cultural centre. Halls Gap zoo great despite the very hot weather. Dont miss Venus Baths and McKenzies falls.

Great stay
The cleanest house I have ever stayed in and one of the best equipped. Toasty warm with a fire and A/C. Very quiet location. Due to the wet weather and gale force winds we didn't see a great deal of wildlife but a deer walking across the front garden was amazing! Thank you Frank and we will be back
