We had a great stay for the night at this lovely cottage with our dogs. The hosts were lovely and welcoming, the backyard was a nice space to relax as well. Pretty close to Castlemaine and Maldon. The little touches of coffee, cereal and biscuits were appreciated.

Everything was so well thought out and presented. Everything we needed was there and the host happily assisted when asked for that little extra we’d forgotten to pack. A great stay in a great location. Thank you Neal and Marie.

Scrupulously clean. The host lives next door and was very available if we had any questions. All was clearly explained, in detail, in the 'Welcome Guide'. We had no issues or queries. The host met us in person and checked with us regularly via text. We didn't use the fireplace. Everything we needed was there including some firewood. Ideal accommodation for a longer stay.

The house is lovely and very clean, and there were lots of thoughtful and generous touches throughout, like the scones Marie made for us and the fact that Neal put the fire on for us before we arrived. Neal and Marie were very communicative hosts, and shared lots of recommendations etc. with us. The beds are also super comfortable and warm. We enjoyed a really cosy stay - it was lovely in early winter.
