About this property

Nillahcootie Guesthouse- by Lake Nillahcootie

Nillahcootie Guesthouse is quietly nestled between the Samaria and Strathbogie Ranges. Access to the Lake Nillahcootie boat ramp and weir is walking distance. It is the perfect spot for those that wish to water ski, fish, swim and relax by the banks of this spectacular Victorian lake.

The Guesthouse is a converted shed and located on a working family farm. It is split over two levels - kitchen, living and bedrooms are upstairs and bathroom is downstairs. It sleeps four people with a small double bedroom and second bedroom with two single bunks. A private front porch and outdoor BBQ area with firepit can be used and enjoyed by guests. Each window has a scenic outlook, including views of the lake from the kitchen and master bedroom.

Easter fishing and relaxation trip

We loved the location of this house as it was close to the lake but also not far from Mansfield. The house had everything we thought it would and other than some pretty ordinary weather and a visit from some possums on the first night the stay was perfect.

Most enjoyable.

The place was very comfy, with all your needs. We stayed 3 nights. The main Bed was comfortable, bunk was good, accept you couldn't sit up and read. Catered for children, with high chair and some toys. Great for young families. But we are an older couple, and we found the stairway a killer. And to top it off the bathroom was down stairs. We had to take one step at a time and there is no hand rail, which made it very difficult for us with bad knees. That was a minor problem for us. I would highly recommend but not for unfit elderly...Thank you to the owners, we enjoyed very much..

the place was very cozy and warm! we enjoyed our visit and made our trip to the snow very enjoyable

the place was just like the pictures. we felt just like at home. the only thing we didn’t like was that we found some old pizza slices in the microwave that we had to clean as we were going to use it. other than that, we really annoyed our visit

Great country getaway

Great location only 20mins from Mansfield town centre. Entry to Lake Nillahcootie and the beautiful park lands only a short walk across the road. Property is very tidy and has everything you need.

Peaceful, quiet, comfortable - a great base to explore NE Victoria

After a tough year of lockdown, masks and working from home, it was great to spend time in the country - away from phones, laptops, duty rosters etc! We needed a break and our time at Lima South gave us that in heaps! We loved the rustic charm, the incredible views over the farm looking one way and the bbq pit the other way. We could walk to Lake Nillicoorte and it was a shortish drive into Benalla to explore the fantastic art gallery. It was a great base to explore the NE silo art trail and the Winton wetlands. Very comfortable bed, a large living area and well equipped kitchen (although providing some oil would be helpful). Apart from that we had everything we needed for a restful stay. And the easter eggs was a wonderful surprise . . . as was the wine in the room. We recommend it!

Place was great! Beautiful views!

Beautiful shed done up into a house. Amazing views topped off with an huge fire pit out the front 🙌 The lake is right across the road, you can walk or drive it which is a 2 minutes drive to put the boat in. Very much enjoyed this place for a good get away! Im from the country and I enjoyed it but my friends are from Melbourne and they loved it! Highly recommended 🙌
