An amazing , secluded place.
Liz was extremely accommodating, quick to respond to our queries. The whole process from start to end was easy to follow.The house was as describe, it was roomy, clean, comfortable beds, had everything we needed, home away from home. Location amazing, secluded, quiet place, no hustle and bustle. If you like peace and quiet next to water, boating or fishing it is a perfect location. Recommendation to purchase your basic needs ie..milk, bread, any food needed when you drive through Mansfield save you the trip back.

Amazing home. Amazing view. Amazing host!
Great view of the lake at the front. Near a little town Mansfield where you can get everything and easily access the bus to Mount Buller. The house is perfect for a family getaway. Lizzy is very helpful and informative. We strongly recommend this home to anyone who wants a family getaway or to go the snow.

Wonderful dog friendly stay.
We had a wonderful 4 nights here at Lizzy’s place. The house is exactly as described and pictured. The fire place was super clean and stacked with wood and the heaters in each room kept the place toasty warm. The beds were comfy and the washing machine handy. There is a lovely huge verandah which was visited by many different birds each day including Satin Bower Birds, King Parrots and Cockatoos. Gorgeous area, can walk to the lake, easy drive to The Jamieson Brewery for a fab meal, 25 mins to Mansfield for shopping etc, the Delatite winery is a must visit place too. We also found it a reasonable distance to drive up to Mount Buller. It was an easy place to stay and we will definitely return.
