Comfortable cottage
We stayed here for a family wedding and was only 6 minute drive to the wedding venue at Merricks Store. However we had 4 families staying here with 2 small bathrooms (advertised 3 bathrooms )so made it tricky to get everyone ready for wedding at same time. Otherwise a comfortable cottage to stay .

A peaceful, beautiful and spacious property hosted by a kind family.
A truly wonderful stay in a beautiful and spacious cottage with many living areas for families to spread across. New heaters, aircon and anything you can think of is provided. Beautiful gardens to unwind in as well as plenty of room for cars etc. The hosts are excellent with communication and answered any questions we had. We had our dog with us, she was welcomed warmly and happily allowed at the cottage. Thanks Ann. 😊

Beautiful location
This is a lovely place to stay - the location and the house. The rooms are very comfortable and the garden is a wonderful playground for small children. Close to beautiful beaches and pretty small towns. The home owner is next door and helpful. The listed stereo was not present and despite following instructions we could not get the dishwasher to work (small problems). We would definitely return.

What a wonderful place?
This place is absolutely fantastic, pictures don't make it justice. The house was super comfortable and clean, with all that we needed and our 8yo absolutely loved feeding the horses and enjoyed watching the cows. We had a blast and our hosts, Ann & Jurgen were amazing. Definitely recommend, great location and beautiful space.

Highly recommend the cottage for those looking to get away whilst being close to wineries, restaurants and breweries. Juergen and Ann were welcoming, fantastic and very helpful with things like firewood, kindling etc. Property was a good size and clean with great views from most the bedrooms. We will be returning.

Merrick North retreat
We had a very enjoyable stay. The spacious relaxed feel of the property was just what we needed. Loved the horses and surrounds. I was also able get some training rides to Arthur's Seat and back via Red Hill. Plenty of hills for challenging rides. Our 2 dogs loved the space and meeting the horses and going for walks on the beach. Flinders dog Beach was a great find.

A Lovely Place to Escape
Overall very pleased with the property, having essentially two living areas made it ideal for our visit with grandparents and our family. The horses in the paddock were a highlight for our kids, good location with 15 mins drive to most activities we did. Would stay again.

Beautiful cottage with lovely view and garden
It's a spacious house. Clean and tidy. Ann and Jurgen are kind and welcoming. The house has everything we needed. Lots of cups and plates. The shops are nearby. Great cafes and restaurants all around to enjoy. Phone reception not the strongest. But we didn't have much issue with it. There's good internet available in the house.
