Fantastic stay, short trip to interschools at Mount Buller. House has everything you need, very clean. Kids enjoyed the wild life visitors. We arrived quite late, lights were on, very welcoming, thank you. Would definitely book again. Two little side comments that do not take away how great the house was. It could have been me, but couldn’t get the TV stations to work, possibly a guide, and there was no coffee, ( I left a small jar that I purchased).

Cold

Grandparents and grandchildren holiday. We choose this place because of the online listing it said heating in all rooms but didn’t mention the heating was a on the wall small electric heater which took hours to heat up also a drying room which also had the same heating and did not dry anything. We came down from Queensland and we’re so disappointed and freezing cold
