Lovely house in great location

We had a fantastic stay - the house was beautiful, very comfortable and in peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed sitting by the firepit and watching the cows and horses in nearby paddocks. Great communication throughout from Emily - would definitely recommend!

Skibo Cottage

Wonderful property. A home away from home. Skibo Cottage offers not only a fabulous accommodation, also fabulous views. It also offers a peaceful stay. And the surrounding area is simply stunning. Day trips and a visit to Camperdown are made that much easier by staying at Skibo Cottage. We enjoyed our stay. We hope to visit again. Thanks for looking after us.

Nicely Renovated Country Cottage

It is a lovely cottage that was tastefully renovated and restored. The property was very clean, well presented and maintained and had all the things you might need (including an espresso machine). Wifi was faster than at home. We arrived late on a cold Friday evening and it was great to find the heaters were left on for us so the house was warm. They even thought to put on the electric blankets! We woke up to see cows out of the kitchen window in the paddock behind the property. Just out of Camperdown so felt like you were in the country but close enough to pick up anything you need. A good base to explore this part of Victoria.
