Cosy cottage perfect for family stay

We enjoyed our stay! The mountain views, green outlook and cosy fireplace were highlights. A couple of things could be improved: the green sofas don’t offer much support, and one kitchen table leg needs securing. Overall, a lovely house for an intergenerational family holiday.

Perfect for large groups

Staying with ranging ages of family including elderly parents this house was perfect to cover all needs. Large shower was great for the elderly parents. Spa was a good touch and beds were excellent, Wood fire was fantastic and Foxtel/Apple TV was also a great touch

Perfect for families

The house was perfect for us! As a small group consisting of three generations, it was lovely to have a bedroom each. The generous bathroom with the spa bath was a hit and we had baths both nights. The wood fire added warmth and character for the chilly September evenings. The house was super clean and really well equipped for home catering. We had initially tossed up between this and a more expensive property and were very pleased to have saved our coin because it would have been difficult to find a better place to stay. House is situated a short drive from the main town, or there is a walk/bike track for those so inclined.

Our Yearly gathering

Hall Gap is one of our favourite spots. The accommodation was just what we need. Convenient spot, very clean, plenty of room. One of our group commented on the cuddly big towels! Thank you from us all. Just a few suggestions. Two more outdoor chairs. The covering over the fan in the main bathroom needs attention and check out one of the dining chairs. Please take these suggestions as they are meant. We really do enjoy your house. We hope we can gather there again next year👍👍🙏 Thank you. Marg Lawlor.

Wildlife in the backyard

We had a good time in Halls Gap with our kids. The house is a bit older but offers enough space and even wildlife in the backyard. The cleaning was okay but some parts would need a deep clean - especially the kitchen drawers.

Lovely property, perfect for our family.

Well situated, easy walking distance to shops, cultural centre, many walking trails. Beautiful bush surrounds and bird life to see from the deck or out the windows. Kitchen well stocked for cooking facilities, home a little low on ‘start up products’ but a very comfortable stay, especially over a very hot week! Beds and rooms also comfortable and well appointed. Great living space for lounging during the heat of the day. Great stay! Much thanks!

Brilliant girls’ weekend house!

4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night getaway. A bedroom each plus lots of communal space. The weather was scorching hot but the air conditioning and ceiling fans were terrific. Enough crockery, cutlery, glassware etc for (I’d say) 10 people. The weather limited our outdoor activities but we managed a morning walk to Venus Baths rock pools, a delicious dinner at HG Hotel, breakfast in town one morning and coffee another day. We were delighted with the wallabies, magpies and cockatoos who visited. An excellent venue! Would thoroughly recommend.

Nice place,could be cleaner

The house was great, beds were comfortable and warm, the fire place didnt give out much heat,i think flue due for a clean,we had to use split system to get house warm. The property overall was great,great location, just lacked a few things, not very clean ,cutlery,glasses,plates dirty, hand soap nearly empty in each bathroom and what was in there it was watered down soap. Under cupboard in bathrooms need a good wipe ,dirty, some complementary, soap ,shampoo and conditoner would have been nice too. No face washer, tissues provide almost empty box when we arrived. It was a great house just lacked a few basic things that would have made the stay more enjoyable. It the owners have a paid cleaner i think they need to look for another or if they are doing it themselves then maybe they could use a professional cleaner. Overall we had an enjoyable stay,for a older house it is well maintained just the lack of cleanliness let it down and not a very efficient fire place was disappointing.

Art retreat

We had a very quiet and comfortable stay. We were able to cook our own food and relax in separate areas or together with space to lounge around. Strong hot shower, comfy beds and a reasonable walk to town.
