Our home for the week was a delight, we were greeted by the sheep, llama and chickens outside our window on arrival. Ian & Joanne were great hosts, and their little cottage was full of warmth and character nestled at the top of the picturesque hill in a lovely location.

The cottage suited our needs perfectly. It was quiet, peaceful, well equipped and with a lovely outlook. Although the weather was very cold and rainy the weekend we were there, the cottage was snug and warm.Buninyong is a small town but has a good supermarket, pub etc., and Ballarat is close by. We went for a couple of very pleasant walks just out of Buninyong.

Extremely gorgeous spot of land, with wonderful views from the balcony with some furry friends in eyesight (sheep, alpaca, horses). Quiet spot, clean, decor is beautiful and you have everything you need for a getaway. I would highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed our overnight stay here. The hosts generously shared their family heirlooms in this granny flat and the alpacas were a delight. Lovely hot shower too!
