Great stay

Had a great stay. Love Halls Gap winters with cold misty weather and Heavenly Escape was the perfect place to stay warm and relax with the fireplace and spa. Hope to return

A pleasure having you stay Nadine and I totally agree: I think winter is undoubtedly the most picturesque season in which to visit the Gramps. Cheers, tim

Set in the middle of Halls Gap this place was amazing to stay at. Wildlife at your doorstep and such a comfortable quiet clean place with some amazing local photography from the host. Will definitely stay there again. Plenty of information on hand for day trips and places of interest. Everything you will need is supplied just bring food and snacks.

Beautiful Spot

Heavenly Escape comes as advertised! Lodgings are spacious, clean, delightfully decored, wonderfully positioned and the hot tub is the perfect size for 2! Timothy was great to deal with, the information was clear and comprehensive. We'd definitely stay her again when in the Grampians!

Amazing time

Our stay here was so amazing little piece of heaven, though the photos made it look a little more isolated than what it is, it doesn’t impact the privacy! Couldn’t really hear anyone else besides them arriving. Was such a great escape would definitely recommend.

Peaceful and welcoming

Wonderful open plan with windows looking onto a woodland property. Great location for accessing the Grampians hiking trails. Comfortable and spacious. Nice front deck for kangaroos to hop past! The house was friendly and and communicative. If I have the opportunity to return to Halls Gap I would definitely book it again.

This cabin in the woods is perfect. Very special experience. Spacious. Beautifully decorated. Homely. Quiet. Surrouned by nature, kangaroos, birds. Kookaburra's chat each morning in trees nearby. Easy fireplace. Plus split system heater, cooler. Big clean windows with lovely views of nature, the moutain you feel you can almost touch. Spacious bathroom. Clean. A personal touch of a bottle of Shiraz 2 glasses on the table on arrival. We could feel the love of our host Tim through the attention to detail. We LOVED it all so much, we are going back for NYE in a month's time. Cafes fantastic, great coffee, yummy food, such friendly community. You MUST experience the serenity and beauty for yourselves. So relaxing. Balcony deck with chairs lounge chair so you're emerged in nature. Its SO special. Thank you Tim, you are the perfect host. Excellent email communication and tour guide extras. This is truly magical. Please enjoy it as much as we did. We have stunning memories we will always treasure. Much love gratitude to you Tim and our special holiday immersion in nature. xx

Fantastic Getaway. So Peaceful. Look forward to returning again in the near future.

Very Neat and Tidy. We loved the art work on the walls, and of coarse, the wildlife were a pleasant attraction. The woodfire was so nice to cuddle up to at night when it was cold. And to top it off the Spa was an extra bonus. Would love to come back again. 10/10. Thankyou so much Tim, We both needed this getaway.

Glorious!

A beautiful spot away from the hustle and bustle of Halls Gap while still within a walkable distance — it’s a bit of a walk— to restaurants, shops, trails etc. Equipped as described. Feels like you are up in a tree house; just glorious to enjoy a cuppa on the verandah on a sunny morning watching wildlife and taking in the views.

Thank you for the review Elena - I am going to note this bit as one of my all time favourite review extracts: 'feels like you are up in a tree house' ... I really like that thought. House aside, I really love the deck and when flowering gum steadily growing away to the right gets up and beyond deck height, I think it will be really cool. Thank you for staying, Tim

Great relaxing stay - just what I needed

Heavenly Escape is a great property to get away from it all. Tim was very easy and fantastic to deal with. The property itself is fairly open plan with everything you need. It has a great back deck to sip a glass of wine and watch the birds fly by. It's also cosy on the inside for when the weather got cooler - the fireplace worked a treat. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will definitely try and come back again.

Dear Greg - thank you for being such an easy and respectful guest and thank you also for the lovely review. Whilst my background is media production, I take a lot of pleasure in working on and making improvement at Heavenly Escape and consequently very much appreciate it when guests enjoy their time at the house. Had just finished repainting the inside of the house the week before you arrived. Good on you, thank you again, and you are most certainly welcome back, warm regards, Tim

Relaxing and Peaceful

Heavenly Escape is exactly as it is shown in the pictures. Surrounded by bushland and native plants cared for by the owner. It was 1c overnight and frosty but the log fire and heating worked very well. It was a luxury having a hot spa and good quality shower and dishwasher. The other properties are close by but not a problem. We have stayed in 3 other places before at Halls Gap which were good but this one is the best. I rate it very highly especially as you need comfort and a reward after long days walking and climbing . We had a lovely weekend.

Dear Jane - thank you for your review - I really appreciate you going back online to say a few words. Regarding A Heavenly Escape, it is an ongoing process - I have owned it for approaching 18 months and my list of to-dos seems very much a case of tick one off and add another two. It is a pleasure of a house to tinker with / work and something I take quite some pride in making lovely. I look forward to spring and seeing how all the new trees / bushes grow. Be truly lovely once there are some grevillias / banksias / the blossoming gums growing up and flowering! The bird life should go through the roof. Warm regards and thanks again for booking with us Timothy
