Pretty good
We enjoyed the quiet bush setting and sitting out on the front verandah listening to the birds and enjoying the sunshine. It was just lovely. The Cottage was very clean and well provided with everything except sheets and towels. Otherwise very comfortable and the thick mud brick walls were a good insulation to keep it cool inside.Ideal in the summer for sure. Heating also provided. Internet connection was excellent. The connection was in the cupboard in second bedroom and cord plugged into the power board near the lamp. A most pleasant stay. Thankyou

Quiet and peaceful
The cottage is set an a quiet, natural bush setting. It was about fifteen minutes to drive to Bendigo so it was a great place to stay and explore Bendigo without being in the busy city. The cottage itself was cute and rustic. The fireplace was nice to sit in front of and there was even some firewood there for us to use. The only downside was that the double bed wasn’t comfortable for me and my partner, other than that it was a wonderful stay.

Strathfieldsaye Cottage
We arrived at the property 3 hours after check in time and discovered that someone was already using the premises. There were personal possessions on the floor of one bedroom and the bed was unmade. The bathroom shower recess along with the hand basin and toilet had not been cleaned. There was a laptop on the floor of the lounge room being charged.The rubbish bin in the kitchen had not been emptied, There were dirty dishes left on the sink. While making a cup of tea a large cockroach ran across the benchtop and during that evening we killed two more.There was a double garage but it was unusable as one side was permanently closed and the other side was full of wood and junk.Very unprofessional host as this should have been sorted before we checked in.Would not recommend this place.

Bush getaway - a true gem
What a delightful place to stay! Set on a bush block, the cottage is comfortable and well-equipped. Although travelling for work, it was lovely to step outside amidst the birdsong during the daytime. In the evening, the air was alive with the sound of frogs, and even a brief glimpse of a kangaroo with her joey following. I certainly hope to return at some stage.

Absolutely beautiful little cottage. So relaxing. Set back off the road enough to make it so peaceful and quiet. Easy to use fireplace to take the chill off at night. Will be back here again 100%

A rustic country retreat
its all that i wanted, a private space to relax and do nothing, Its not fancy but that was nice as it fit into the ambience of the experience, luxury is for expensive inner city, this was Rustic and charming. I would add some extra cooking facilities (a small BBQ) but we made do.

Quaint, delightful cottage in quiet bushland area
The cottage is an historical delight with loads of character and all the comforts needed for a bushland stay. Cosy combustion fire and very comfortable bed. The area is quiet and surrounded by bushland and birdlife, with only 15 mins into Bendigo. Loved my stay, and hope to return again! Thank you!

The house had cobwebs everywhere, I had to clean them all and sweep when we got there, it looked like it hadn’t been used or cleaned in months. There was crockery on the draining board in the kitchen. There was lots of DVD’s we would have loved to watch but no DVD player.

Quiet and simple to comfort
A cute cottage with simple facilities in a quiet location. Cooking is limited to a 2 burner electric hot plate or microwave (unless you are clever enough to work a wood stove). The shower is tiny but the water hot. Two double beds have soft mattresses. It was fine for a few days visit but was very dusty and many cobwebs throughout the cottage. But the longer we were here the more charming it became but I wouldn't use it for longer term.
