Standard configuration for bedrooms is 3 King and two bedrooms with 2 single beds in each, however we will endeavour to assist you with your requirements. All linen and towels provided.

There are many attractions in the area for children, Healesville Sanctuary and Maze, Maroondah Dam for picnics and walks, and Lake Mountain in winter for some fun snow activities. Some indoor activities are also provided and there is an outdoor area to run around in. We also allow the family pet to join in subject to discussing at the time of booking.

Clean, quiet, private, tidy and cosy
House and furnishings are a little old, but was a very comfortable stay. The fenced in garden at the back was overgrown so we couldn’t let our dog in there, but the owner did let us know this prior and there is a large fenced deck. If you are not expecting 5 star luxury then this home is great for a large family or friends group for the weekend. The aircons kept us nice and cool on a sweltering hot weekend. Great communication before and after with the owner.
