Location, location, location, BUT
Location was fine, I had emailed the proprietor about payment, several weeks ahead. I wanted to pay as a t/f, not credit card. I received no response.
I had a very brief encounter with Aiden, who showed me a map to our cabin. The cabin was clean, but tired. No special welcoming, adequate amenities. given there was a coffee plunger, I would have liked at least one serving. Hand towels in bathroom and kitchen paper(recycled), would have been appreciated.

Comfortable Stone Cottage in the Country
Pioneer Stone Cottage has been beautifully built in period style using recycled materials and provides comfortable accommodation at a property near Pomonal, looking out towards the northern Grampians. Wildlife abounds and the stars are bright in this dark sky location. A large open fireplace stocked with wood promises a comfortable evening by the fire side.
Our hosts were welcoming and very supportive of our guests when they had an unexpected incident during their trip. We really appreciated their hospitality. We had a short stay and would happily return for a longer holiday.

Relaxing weekend away
This place was amazing, so peaceful, relaxing and not to mention the cottage was probably the cleanest we've ever hired for a getaway.
The cottages are spaced out sufficiently enough so that you feel like you're the only ones on the property, very private. Lots of wildlife right at your doorstep with Halls Gap and wineries just a short drive away.
Will definitely be back again.

Relaxing getaway
The view was amazing the stone house was in the perfect position. I loved being out of town and having our own space.
The rustic feel of the cottage definitely made us feel like we were on holidays nothing like home, which was what we wanted.

A little bit of Peace
I'd say this is the most peaceful place on earth. Only the sounds of the animal and breathing in fresh air, gazing at the stars and watching the clouds over the mountains to cleanse the senses.
If you feel there's a bit of healing needing to be done in yourself or you just need to relax, I truly recommend Stone Cottage.
