Nice stay with some caution
Amazing place very spacious with well kitted out kitchen. House has a nice view to Mt Buller. The sheets were clean and house was clean. Overall the price wasn’t worth the $1000 a night we paid. Due to; - BBQ was pretty dirty and the collector tray full - There is a ring camera facing the jacuzzi which made us uncomfortable as they could access and see people in bathing suits. - Downstairs is a hit dull

Good for large groups
This property is great for large groups that still want their own space. It has two levels, both with kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen pots and pans are a bit tired so you may need to bring your own. Be aware when booking that the price advertised is only for 8 people. Any extra and you’re charged $50pp per night.

Perfect for family groups
We had a lovely stay and hopefully will return next year. Very convenient for a few days in the snow with little children- plenty of space and the birds visiting the verandah at breakfast were great! Just as a help for you We had pasta one night and there didn’t seem to be a large enough pot with a lid to fit. The couch downstairs- one back on it fell down within 5 mins of being there- dangerous for little kids. It would be handy if the child fence on the stairs could be fixed Was a bit weird that a drone kept coming over when the spa was used? Otherwise really terrific and well appointed - thank you
