Really nice and cosy cabin. Great location with only a short walk to the shops and literally across from the swimming lake area. Only wish the weather was warmer so I could enjoy the lake more. Property was fully secure too for my dog.

It was the right kind of place we were looking for with our two young grandsons. The facility was perfectly functional and the location was outstanding. The boys were so excited to stay in a 'cabin'. We were pleased because there was little they could break. We all want to come back again. In addition, the place was easy to find and leave. Thank you for a great holiday.

The lounge/dining/kitchen area is small for a 2 bedroom . The bathroom sliding door has small nails poking out from the edge of the door . The frypans need replacing as one is very badly cut into. However the outside area and position of the house is lovely . Also appreciated the electric blanket as it was quite cold at night .

We always have the most wonderful time when staying in Creswick, it really has become our little familys holiday destination and we love MTB riding. Our 2 jack russell live coming and so many places for them to explore. The house is great and Ian is so easy to deal with. Will definitely be back for our fourth time.

Pet friendly, close to town, walking paths, john Curtin Aged Care etc. Prrfect property for a summer stay and eating out. I found it disappointing that the refrigerator was smaller than needed ie we brought food for our 5 night stay and there wasn"t a washing machine as we needed to do a load due to weather. The double bed was found to be extremely hard although we dod not have an issue with the bunk beds.
