Relaxing scenic getaway

Thank you for the wonderful stay! It was a beautiful property and the Pioneers Hut was wonderfully appointed and felt very homely. It was close to Mansfield for the shops, but isolated enough to feel right in nature.

Amazing Heritage Cottage

This cabin was such a treasure. While it is a heritage cottage, it was warm, clean and exactly as described and pictured. Communication with the host was easy and the visit from the farm dog just topped off our stay. Highly recommend and hope to be back.

A cosy and warm hut with a very comfortable bed. We had everything we needed.

The property is very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the wide open spaces. I loved sitting outside in front of the outdoor fire. The hut is cosy and warm. The wood fire stove kept us very warm but there are extra heaters if you need them. We had everything we needed. Rob and Helen supplied us with some staples for our breakfast. Lovely fresh eggs, juice bread and some spreads. We did most of our coming on the barbecue outside. We slept very well. The bed was very comfortable and all the fresh air gave us a good night sleep. The hut is very clean and well presented. I love that it is just one room. It makes the experience all the more cosy and restful. Just be aware that your puppies are welcome but they must remain outside. We will definitely be back.

A stay in the Hills

The ambience is every interesting, very rustic and very quiet. We had the whole to place to ourselves. It would better if there was a cook top to prepare meals. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much. But there was no breakfast as advertised.

Owners don’t reply text message or phone

We enjoyed our stay but we did try to reach the owner who told us that we could borrow bikes and we never heard back from them again. We left a text message and we called the phone number they provided in the guest booklet but they have never returned our calls. Also we were not asked if we want the room to be tidied but one day found that it was tidied without letting us know. We might prefered to be acknowledged before that somebody coukd get into the room whilw we were away..

Thoroughly enjoyed everything about this place. Peaceful, quiet and rustic.. Perfect

I'd been looking for a place to stay like this for a long time.. Totally rustic little hut with nothing around other than fresh air, birds and nature. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.. I wished I'd stayed longer. I'll definitely be back.

We had a ball!

We have had a wonderful stay here! Rob is an exceptional host and we felt at home immediately. We loved meeting and feeding bread, carrots, apples and pears to the three resident cows - they are nameless so we have called them Geraldine, Gloria and Gigi. Rob’s dogs also popped over for a visit. They are beautiful and entertaining! We have enjoyed so many walks around here and, as restrictions have lifted with COVID, we have also done some hiking and 4WD - the trails and tracks are all easily accessible from here. We will definitely be back to visit again!!!

Welcoming and comfortable

Rob was very welcoming and made it clear that he was available if needed. The cottage was really close to the main house but we had absolute privacy and hardly knew anyone else was about. The restored cottage was beautifully done with charming derail. We loved our time there.
