About this property

Cedar Country Retreat - Country style luxury

Cedar Country Retreat has a warm country feel, with all of the modern amenities. It has been recently renovated with a brand new bathroom and updated kitchen, but still retains its rustic charm.

Nestled in the heart of Halls Gap and only a short ten minute stroll to the famous "Coolas Ice-Creamery", this beautifully styled property offers you more than just accommodation, but a home away from home.

All of our guests receive a complementary bottle of local wine and chocolates, as well as the beautiful "VIVE" body products. We have two split systems on WIFI which we turn on prior to our guests arrival, ensuring the house is cosy and warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We also have a coonara wood fire heater ready to light on your arrival. Strictly no flame candles, however we do provide several remote control flameless candles for the romantics at heart.

The three beautifully appointed bedrooms are all located upstairs and can comfortably sleep six people. Each room has its own personality, with sweeping mountain views from every room. The master bedroom has a queen size bed with a romantic setting and a deck looking east across Mount Ida with the west window looking out towards the Pinnacle. Nothing better than waking up to the sunrise over the mountain. Bedroom two, which we've named "the Flying Scotsman" has more of a masculine feel, with a queen size bed and reading nook with chair for those relaxing winter days, simply enjoying the view to the mountains, or reading a good book. Bedroom three has two single beds, again looking across to Mount Ida. Also upstairs is a large bathroom with over-the-bath shower and toilet.

Downstairs, we have a new bathroom with beautiful French tub, large shower, toilet and a new front-loader washing machine. The bright downstairs kitchen has been fully revamped with new appliances, family size fridge, dishwasher and beautiful porcelain sink. This kitchen has everything you need, including a coffee machine and good selection of tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

From the kitchen into the dining and living room, comfy sofa and chairs, TV and stereo, with a selection of DVDs and CDs.

A large over-sized dining table easily accommodates a group of six for meal times, playing board games or cards. Several magazines, books and board games are also available to fill in the time when you're done with exploring and just want to spend some time indoors.

Lots of interesting things to look at throughout the house giving it its own quirky personality.

Outside, we have table and six chairs as well as a barbeque. Also available is a chiminea (only for use in the cooler months).


Please note: due to all of the bedrooms being upstairs and the outdoor deck also being upstairs, our property is not suitable for young children.

For your information, we have two security cameras installed at our property. One is located on the carport looking at the driveway, the other is located under the carport looking at the keysafe. These are for the security of our property only.

Relaxing retreat
We had such a lovely stay here. The house is beautifully presented and well stocked with all the basics. After a morning hiking in the drizzle, this was the perfect place to then curl up in front of the fire with a bottle of wine. Very conveniently located, and Vicki and Ashley were very responsive in all communications. Highly recommended.

The Perfect Short Stay
From the moment we unlocked the front door you could see the effort made to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Small touches like the extensively packed hot drink rack with tea, coffee and hot chocolate, The well stocked fireplace with plenty of extra wood for the cooler nights, the bottle of wine and chocolates were a nice touch. A spacious living area for the entire family, kitchen with those essential items you need and comfortable bedrooms. Thank you so much Ash and Vicki for hosting our family.

Perfect location and beautiful house!
The house was perfect and so beautifully decorated we just loved it the minute we opened the door, it was better than we even expected from the photos. It feels really homey and with both the fireplace and split systems it was so nice and warm. All bedrooms are so gorgeously decorated that even tossing a coin to pick which room was a hard decision! Location was perfect for all of our activities and only a short drive for anything else. The house was also spotless and both bathrooms are nice and big. Ashley and Vicki were great hosts and always in contact if needed. I highly recommend Cedar Country Cottage and would definitely stay again if we came back to Halls Gap.
