THE NEIGHBOURHOOD:

There are plenty of excellent restaurants that you can get to in about 15 minutes, as well as several pubs, live music venues, wineries, and day spas - including the famous Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa just a few minutes away.
For the lover of the outdoors, as well as the stunning grounds of Bella Vista Villas itself, there are plenty of walks and places of outstanding natural beauty nearby - Mount Franklin, Lavandula Swiss Italian Farm, The 'Blowhole', the Mineral Springs Reserve, Jubilee Lake, and Sailors Falls.
Please feel free to enjoy the grounds of Bella Vista. The view and sunset from the top of the paddock near Charlies Road is particularly nice and is worth the walk but please watch out for rabbit holes and hidden tree stumps. We also kindly ask you to please respect the privacy of the other guests.
You may see a variety of native Australian animals on the property that includes kangaroos, wombats, echidnas, kookaburras - and goats.
DIRECTIONS:
Through Hepburn Springs on to Hepburn-Newstead Road, after about a kilometre turn right on to Charlies Road. Please be aware that this is a hilly gravel road. You don't need a 4x4 to get down it, but do drive slowly and carefully as it is used by wildlife, particularly kangaroos. You'll see a sign for Bella Vista Villas near the end of the road on the left.
TO NOTE:
Our family home is on the 5.5 acre grounds but Oscars is set in its own secluded gardens with private patio. The villa is totally self-contained with all its own facilities including kitchen and barbecue. It's even got a hammock. Most people come here for a romantic getaway so if we are at home during your stay we leave you completely alone, unless you want to talk to us of course! For that reason we have a strict no guests, events or parties rule. If you do have any special requirements or want to hire Oscars or the grounds for an event please do contact us before booking. We look forward to hearing from you.
FINAL WORDS:
Sitting on the deck at Oscars, with an unbroken view of rolling hills in front of you and the Milky Way overhead, you'll know you've found the perfect place to get away from it all for a few days.
If we can arrange anything for you either to prior to or during your stay just call us or contact us.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Wonderful

The property feels like it needs a little TLC. The tap on the spa leaks, there is no doorknob on the outside of the bathroom door, the toaster does not work, the clock in the kitchen has stopped and the flyscreen on the front door is torn. There is no daybed out on the decking area as pictured on the website, just a table and chairs. When we arrived, it was cold and raining but we had to go out in the weather to get firewood as there was only some small kindling inside. Milk was provided but it was UHT and only one towel per person. Tea and coffee was provided and sachets of salt and pepper but nothing else. It was a nice stay, but nothing special. The spa was nice.
It’s a delightfully cosy spot w a wonderful spa bath and lovely fire and open living space. The kitchen covers the very basics only but otherwise a perfect spot to chill and spot some local wildlife!
Everything was absolutely perfect
Except for the spa.. when the jets were turned on there must been some grime build up because it all shot out which was pretty unpleasant
But other than that, incredibly pleased with it
I will be recommending it

Perfect romantic getaway
We loved it here. So relaxing with all the mod cons you need. A spa and woodfire adds a nice romantic feel. And the breakfast inclusion was fantastic!
