Winter Stay
Thanks Maria for coordinating a lovely weekend winter stay for our 2 families. The house was cozy warm with the central heating and fireplace. Plenty of room for the adults in one living area and the kids in the other to have their space. Well supplied with everything we needed. Great location quiet but close to town & Sovereign Hill.

Great for big groups
House was great for 2 families. Plenty of rooms for kids to separate from adults. Fire was very much appreciated and such a lovely touch to already have it on when we arrived. Bed linen and towels included was also appreciated as was the extra tea, coffee, biscuits chocolates etc. Great variety of books and wifi was great because phone reception wasn't great. Would recommend to groups or 2 families.

Great break
The accommodation was fantastic, clean cosy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed tennis when it stopped raining and the fire and red wine when it didn't. Walked into the city centre one day and around the area on the other day. Very much recommend .

Good space for big groups
We found the property great. Lots of space for our group who were travelling together for a rowing regatta. Bit communal spaces. Lots of bedrooms. Main negative feedback is there are a few things at the property that need maintenance / were broken.

Great value for a group
The large property with an excellent view it well-suited our family gathering of 8 adults. While the house is overall a bit dated there is lots of space, the bathrooms have been renovated, the beds were comfy and we loved using the tennis court each day. A great time was had by all.

Fun Stay in Bkack Hill
Our family had a wonderful stay at this property. The house itself is cosy and has lovely views. The tennis court was a real winner with our boys and the close proximity to mountain bike tracks and running trails was awesome. Property owner left lots of lovely treats for our boys which gave the stay an extra special touch. Thank you

Host profile image
As a parent of many children I like to be relax with nature and this property does just this. An opportunity to read, do some work or just relax and listen to the natural surroundings. This is a property that encourages connection and with nature and each other.

Why they chose this property

It is large and relaxing and no fuss. It is an opportunity to have a break from the busy schedule and have some stillness. Yet if you want to do some work on your computer there is sound internet to do this. Encouraging connection with nature and face to face connection with family and friends.

What makes this property unique
