Wonderful stay in kilsyth south

My husband and I stayed here on our wedding night - place is clean, cosy, and the spa bath is great with a fireplace! There was also a loaf of homemade bread which was delicious. Kaye was lovely in allowing an early check in for the groomsmen to get ready :) thanks Kaye!

Fantastic hideaway

Highly recommended for a relaxing weekend. Wish we had a couple of nights, not just the one. The property is lovely to walk around and the accommodation is very comfortable. We highly enjoyed the outdoor spaces and sitting in the atrium type area. Kaye also made the most amazing loaf of bread! The spa bath is great to soak in after a long day. We were surprised how close locals shops and restaurants were too. Highly recommend Mountain Thai. A great night sleep, breakfast provisions the following day and close to local attractions meant an enjoyable experience overall.

Good place but less clean

It was good stay overall. But place was not highly clean. Dust visible on curtains. Rubbish found under sofa. Kaye is a good host and very reachable.

Kaye keeps the place immaculate and she is an amazing host

Everything was cleaned top to bottom when we arrived, fridge stocked with breakfast and she even made fresh homemade bread for the following morning. One of the best weekend holidays I've had in a long time.

Beautiful and peaceful place, Kaye was more than welcoming with freshly baked bread when we arrived. It was a little smaller than anticipated but overall a very lovely experience. Price wise I think can be a little lower but would happily come back !!!!

Beautiful!

I booked this property for my parents stay on our wedding night. They could not have enjoyed it more. The property manager made them feel so welcome and they loved every bit. Only regret was not booking for longer, or staying there ourselves. Thank you for making my parents feel so special.

Thank you Alex. So pleased you both enjoyed your stay. Did you get to the markets or Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice-creamery? It's a hard decision; stay indoors and enjoy the warm and serenity or catch up on some of the wonderful Yarra Valley sites. There's always next time. We look forward to seeing you again.

We booked the B and B for my best friend on the worlds wedding night we had bridal photos in the beautiful gardens and got some great photos on the bridge and surrounds which suited her vintage themed wedding to a tee. The cottage stay overnight made them feel very special on thier wedding night.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2020
We are so pleased you got some great photos in our gardens and your fiend enjoyed her wedding night here. The vintage theme just fitted beautifully amongst the old style wagons in the property and the cars were simply stunning as well. I've had several car enthusiasts drooling over the car photos I took. We hope to see you here again to celebrate other special occasions.

Nice Property

This property was very nice internally and very clean. We thought by the write up it was completely private and we were the only property on 5 acres. However it was a small cottage situated right next to the main residence. This was a little disappointing. But apart from that there was absolutely nothing to complain about.. The fresh bread was lovely too.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2020
Thank you for your review Jodi, Yes, our bread is a winner with all our guests. The smell of warm bread always makes me feel like I'm on holiday. Spring is almost here and the gardens will be full of colour over the next month or two. The best time of year, I think.

Relaxing escape

Beautiful expansive garden setting, private lake, warm and generous host, lovely romantic cottage and all the little details taken care of...a great place to unwind and escape the rat race. My wife and I loved our romantic "mini break" at Lakeside Cottage - would definitely return!
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2020
I'm so pleased you loved your stay here. Beautiful settings make you smile and I'm happy to share the beauty of the colour and perfume of the flowers to the birds and the ducks. I hope your memories made at Lakeside Cottage will bring you smiles to last you until your next break at least.

We loved the well-equipped cottage with its interesting layout and space. Also appreciated the small touches Karen made for us as we're vegetarians. We enjoyed the privacy of the area too. We were glad that we decided to drive there as it made it convenient for us to go around. There's even a 24hr Woolsworth nearby.
