The Perfect Clunes Stay!
We loved our stay in this beautiful home! It was exactly as advertised. The house was pristine, beautifully appointed and incredibly clean. It is a 5 minute walk into the heart of Clunes and in a quiet spot. Everything you need is at the house including heating and cooling. Beds were super comfortable too. Highly recommend this property!
