Excellent place to relax and disconnect
The house is amazing. It is fully equipped. Easy to get to and very clean and comfortable. As we had teenagers and I had to do a bit of work while i was away, we needed better wifi. In the end we focused on non IT things. We had a deck of cards and that was a perfect way to spend time together in the evenings.

Charming country holiday
The property was a lovely, peaceful place to relax and unwind as a family before the hectic Christmas period and first time away as a family in 6 years. The house was, clean, had all the amenities we needed for our stay. Anne and Charles were lovely and hospitable in that they had the air-conditioner going before we arrived to ensure that the house was not too hot as the day, we arrived it was hot and humid. Charles was friendly and helpful when we spoke to him as we went for a walk around the property to view the cattle and horses and a friendly wave as he passed by on his quad bike from a distance. We not only saw the horses and cattle, but also a large hare running around on the dressage arena on a couple of days, heard plenty of cockatoos, ducks and other native birds that frequented the property and the dam in the front paddock, and we even had a close up encounter with 2 black snakes (one when we went for a walk around the property and one close by in the yard where we were staying which was exciting to see (Its summer time when we visited so you should expect to see snakes in the country in Australia at this time. Nothing to be scared of, just be respectful and don't do anything silly or attack the snake, keep your dog on a tight leash and the snakes leave you alone and will move on). The property location was a great place to watch the Geminid meteor shower in the late evening as it was far enough away from the lights of Melbourne and Kilmore. A very enjoyable stay.

Country stay
Lovely location, great for dogs with enclosed space to run around in. House was pretty much as advertised. The bedding and sheets were clean and house generally clean, however really needed a spring clean with dust etc. Was disappointed with gas bbq, especially as had checked prior. The bbq especially as incredibly dirty, and barely usable, probably time for the bin.

Relaxed country winter stay
We stayed with our two year old and had a very relaxing stay. She loved going for little walks to see the horses, sheep and feeding the chickens. We loved being able to light the fire and have a bbq. There were undercover outdoor areas so you could get outdoors even if it rained. The house had everything that we needed. We could access the wifi but at times it dropped out and it was nice having a break from technology. There were enough toys to keep our toddler busy. We visited the nearby Tallarook state forest. We were able to bring our dog and he loved it. Thanks for a great stay.

Paradise!
Such a beautiful getaway from the usual business that city life brings. The property and surrounding area was such a delight, the home was clean and modern whilst still offering a unique charm. Our dog loved having the large yard to run around and even see some horses! Would definitely recommend and we're already thinking when can we get back!

The Mews - Charan Hill Moranding - Quiet Tree change - 24 - 28th March 2023
Quiet, Comfortable & everything needed for a comfortable stay. Linen provided but need to bring your own Coffee, tea, etc. Lovely fully fenced yard suitable for any dog even my Toy Poodle. Anne & Charlie live on the 100 acre farm & are more than happy to provide assistance when required. 'Demi' enjoyed meeting the horses, chickens & cows (on lead at first) then exploring off lead, under supervision. She attempted to get the big balls (pump float) in the dam but was discouraged. A lovely quiet base to visit family & friends in the area. We enjoyed our 4 day stay whish it could of been longer, we will return, hopefully soon. Thank you Anne & Charlie

Pretty and peaceful
Highly recommend this property for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday with their dog. Lots of space and animal activity kept our pooch happy, and we had no trouble finding dog-friendly places to eat out in Kilmore and nearby towns. The house itself is cute as a button. We slept well, and enjoyed the restful views. Anne and family are terrific hosts and we would happily stay again.

Reminiscent of Italian farmhouse villa
Beautiful restful views across paddocks with many trees and lots of birds - loved the "house" blue wren. Nicely placed between Broadford and Kilmore for supplies as well as services. I used the library in Kilmore to get some work done. Only downside (not really if you are not working) is limited reception when using mobile for hot spot. The combustion stove was comforting after the north facing windows had let in the natural warmth of the sun. Real back to nature treat.

The perfect country stay
We had such a great time staying at this little country getaway! The drive up to the house sets the scene perfectly with horses everywhere. Can't wait to stay in summer when the roses and wisteria are blooming! Had everything we needed and Anne was lovely bringing us more firewood. Sorry about the broken pot, my partner went to put the shovel for the fireplace in there and it broke in half, let me know if we need to reimburse for that! Will definitely be back :)
