Ideal home away from home

Really good comms throughout the process; super quaint accommodation with friendly neighbours; plenty of room for doggo to run around safely; in easy reach for walks around Wandiligong, Bright, and the surrounding area. To make things better, the wood burner made for cosy evenings and the quietness of the place helped in some of the deepest sleep I’ve had in a long time - highly recommended!

A charming cottage in Wandiligong.

An old miners cottage that is full of yesteryear charm, but with modern conveniences. A very comfortable place to stay, with a secure yard for those bringing a dog.

Amazing house for a winter weekend

We had an amazing time in Wandi, the house was so cosy and in a great spot! The fire was on when we arrive and it made the perfect base for exploring the High Country. We can’t wait to come back!
