Beauty in the Wild

Tranquility, beauty and stunning views accompany this wonderfully stylish house which is a home away from home catering to all your needs. Clean and comfy, with fantastic hosts on hand to assist you when needed, we were sad to leave. Many thanks to Tracey for making our stay so wonderful.

Perfect!

Wild Fauna was just perfect for a getaway with extended family to celebrate a special birthday. The property was extremely clean and well appointed, we could not have asked for anything better. We enjoyed early mornings and evenings on the back deck, taking in the beautiful view and the friendly wild life. We are already planning a return to take in the winter beauty.

Mid week mini break with old friends

Location just as we expected with easy access to Mansfield and Mt Buller. Easy scenic walks for an older group of 6!! Had a fabulous lunch at the nearby Delatite Winery - a must. Wildfauna was well appointed and warm with great views down the valley and we loved all the birds that visited us on the deck. Cooking at home was so convenient (once we worked out how to use the induction cooktop!). Hope to go back one day. PS we were forced to change and postpone our original booking and Tracy was was kind and accommodating. Thank you

Stunning home and views!

We had an amazing stay at Wild Fauna. We were wowed on arrival at the gorgeous property and absolutely stunning views. It was our base for our day trips to Buller and a wonderful, warm home to come home too after a day on the slopes. Waking up to kangaroos and deer outside your windows and seeing them when you got home was amazing. The pics don't do this place justice. Tracey is a fabulous host, very accommodating and quick to reply too. We would definitely love to come back.

Immaculate home with views to die for

If the views don;t get you the open fire surely will! A beautifully-presented home - huge, warm, well furnished and lots of little touches to ensure your stay is a cosy one. We loved wildlife watching (saw an albino deer!) and relaxing by the fire. It's close to the gate to Mt Buller and Mt Stirling so very convenient and the mudroom came into its own after a day at the snow. The area is a little more built-up than we expected but once inside Wild Fauna you really feel you're "away from it all".

Snow getaway

This place is a real gem.. Hidden away in a small community at the door of Mt Buller.. The house has a beautiful alpine, natural and minimalist feel, we felt at home the moment we walked in!. Great cycling, bushwalking and wineries nearby, the pretty town of Mansfield and ofcourse... Mt Buller!. Oh.. and that balcony... no words.

Stunning Home

Our family had a wonderful stay at Wild Fauna. Traceys home is beautiful, light, clean and spacious with a gorgeous view across the valley. Lovely outdoor areas and warm interiors made the perfect stay for our family. We were so surprised with the amount of wildlife that roamed past the property, and although there was no snow this weekend, it was lovely to relax, walk, and visit the wineries. The bottle of wine left for us by the hosts was very nice! We will definitely be back.
