Our group of friends had an unforgettable time at this forest house! The place is immaculate equipped with abundant facilities, all sorts of kitchen tools along with safety equipment. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Though the first night was a bit chilly, (even though our stay was during summer), Jim kindly came and taught us how to use the fireplace and prepared us with a lot of firewood. That truly was a very special experience for city residents like us. While chatting, Jim realised that we were planning to make pizza from scratch during our stay. He then generously brought a stone pizza plate and pizza peel, making our self-made pizza the highlight of our Christmas dinner. And the electric kitchen scale was definitely a key necessity, as we rarely find one in other holiday houses. We have to say, the owner of the house has prepared everything possible to make the place the feel like home to anyone who stays. Another favourite part of our stay was the variety of animal visitors we saw around the house. During the mealtimes, we had kangaroos, emus, deer, cockatoos and kookaburras wandering outside the house! We also had a mother bird sitting in her nest (a hanging straw basket prepared by the owner, how sweet!) hatching two eggs under her belly! We would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the owners of the house and would highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to enjoy a serene and relaxed place in the forest.

Our group of friends, along with their kids all had a great time on the property. We loved seeing the local wildlife and hearing the kookaburras laugh. We used the firepit nightly and it was fantastic to sit around the fire, drinking wines from the local wineries after a day exploring the area. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were very comfortable, plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 6 kids.

fabulous property- close to Halls gap centre. Has a pen outback for doggies and a huge camp fire area. great for families. we had a bunch of kangaroos on the first morning nibbling the grass out front- it was beautiful. my only caution would be that if you have people upstairs and you are sleeping downstairs, you hear the creaking floorboards. so bring earplugs if youre sensitive to that stuff. But its a gem of a property-i'd come back.

A well equipped house for a large family, extended family or a few families. Extensive property was enjoyed by inquisitive grandkids. Only suggestion would be to add some plastic ware in the kitchen for younger children.

Dirty and unkept. Ruined our family get together in the Grampians

Rubbish all around the outside of the property from the bin, rotting green waste left in the kitchen, dishwasher left with food scraps and dirty water in the bottom, glasses cups and utensils all needed to be washed, stained carpets that don't look to have been vacuumed and stained bedsheets that don't look to have been changed. Several cockroaches had to be removed from the kitchen plus the smoke detector continually beeps. We changed the battery and it still beeped. Messaged the owner but still have not received a reply. Overall very disappointed. The place is large and has potential but is poorly kept with little evidence of it being recently used or cleaned.
