Lovely grounds, shared house with hosts

Lovely grounds and spacious house, however it does need to be clearer in the description that you will be sharing the house with the owners. There is only a sliding door between their space and the guest rooms, we could hear the family until quite late, and the washing machine was on late at night which was in the guest area. Hosts were lovely and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Brendan Ricci

Host profile image
The owners, Brendan and Edwina have built this property over many years using the resources available. The house and all of the outbuildings have been made using timber from the property, via the on-site mill; mostly using the tall mountain ash that dominate the area. The Natural swimming pool has been fashioned using the stunning granite boulders that abound.

Why they chose this property

Toolangi Heights is a unique property which offers a different experience in a location within easy reach of Melbourne, that feels so much further away.

What makes this property unique

The views of the mountain ranges are just as breathtaking as the tall mountain ash forests that abound. Enjoy viewing starry skies away from the light pollution of big cities and wake up to an abundance of bird-life; particularly the kookaburras that abound here.

There are over 8km of walking tracks to be explored on the 60 acre property and many others nearby to suit any level of bush-walker.

The Wirra Willa Rainforest boardwalk is close by as are the Murrundindi Cascades and the Mount Saint Leonards lookout; where you can take in all of greater Melbourne on a clear day!
