Astelia Cottage is a great place to stay. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend away.Easy walking distance to St Arnaud businesses and a 10 minute walk to the lake via an attractive bush walk.The cottage is surrounded by beech forest and the bell bird dawn chorus was amazing. We wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay here.
