    Word of advice, don't use the provided frying pan to make pancakes! They stick no matter what 😅 The photos had a pod machine so I was under the impression there would be one but only coffee sachets provided. But not the end of the world!

    This was the perfect accommodation for a girls getaway. The bed was so big and comfy. So was the beautiful couch. The views were breathtaking, loved the kangaroos and the blissful silence. Shower was spacious and good pressure. As the bedroom was upstairs, it heat up a bit but so nice to have both aircon and fan to be able to cool it down. Easy transaction for entering and leaving. Exactly what we wanted and wish we could go back!

    The big pillar which supports the TV also blocks views out the window from the couch which was a shame - we'd prioritise views over TV! Wi-fi a bit spotty which is to be expected out in the bush. Perhaps a little more generous with the crockery - just two of most things for two of us - letting a little dishwashing build up for extra convenience is fine! The music mix coming from the villa next door ranged from pleasant to annoying!

    Views and location were stunning. Kangaroos were a bonus! Bird songs and sunset over the valley delightful. Spa bath was big and had wonderful views. Wood fire was great and plentifully supplied. Bed was comfortable. Short drive to town and all the wonderful amenities of Hepburn & Daylesford.

    Some extra blankets to snuggle under on the couch would have been nice, it was quite chilly. The wood provided didn't burn very hot, we ended up buying our own from the servo. Some extra towels would have also been good, I think we had 1 bath towel each for a 4-day stay. There's quite a dip in the driveway at the entrance, my little hatchback got stuck on the first try. The jets on the spa didn't work and we weren't able to use the bath at all our last night as there was a water leakage incident (a gesture acknowledging this would have been much appreciated eg small refund or gift voucher or something)

    Very clean and cozy, the garden is so pretty, loved all of the wild life at our front door step. It's a wonderful property and location- feels lovely and secluded but conveniently close to town. Bed was very comfy, I loved all of the windows for sunset views and natural light. We had a great time and I would happily stay again.

    The dirt road getting to the villa was a little tricky at night. Had to drive everywhere as it's a little way out, but we did not mind. Everything else was wonderful.

    Absolutely everything. The villa was so cute! It was so cosy and clean. The views were spectacular.

    The wifi was not that strong (but was not a deal breaker). We also spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to operate the cooktop (ours is gas), but after a quick search on google we managed to get it working (maybe a quick instruction label somewhere would be helpful).

    Location was a little out of the way than expected or preferred, but the view and wildlife (kangaroos and koalas) made it worth while. The accommodation was cosy and just enough for 2. We loved having the fireplace on at night and bubble bath in the morning. As each day went past the more we appreciated the location and accommodation, even though it took a little getting use to at first.

    Some of the photos of the property aren’t updated, as the swinging chair in the bedroom is missing.

    Tucked away in a beautiful spot, not even 10 minutes outside of Hepburn Springs. It’s the perfect setting for a little romantic weekend getaway, as you’re close to town, but also would also never need to leave to enjoy your stay!

    We did have a couple of issues. Our stay coincided with a very hot spell which lasted for our whole five-night stay and the air conditioning in the bedroom just could not cope. It took two days of having it on full blast before the temperature dropped even slightly. It was noisy and ineffective and consequently sleeping was extremely difficult. The bathroom was constantly like a sauna - not inviting us to make use of the spa bath with views. Not a problem if the weather is cooler but it definitely impacted our stay. The other major disappointment was the TV - free-to-air channels were dodgy and either unavailable or suffered interference, while the Netflix just wouldn’t load at all. For a couple of nights this probably wouldn’t matter, but it was frustrating for us over a longer stay. Overall this is a beautiful property, but perhaps in need of a little TLC and maintenance.

    When we arrived and took in the scenery and explored the villa, our first impression was just Wow! It is a stunning spot and we really felt like we could be staying in an authentic Italian villa. There was loads of room upstairs and down, all very comfy, and even a Christmas tree with lights!

    We were really cold upstairs in bed. The split system was very weak in heating the room. And also a bit too noisy, we ended up turning it off in the end. We wish there was a coffee machine available. Instant (Although coffee & tea was provided)

    Beautiful property. We really enjoyed the cozy modern feel of the place. Loved the fireplace and spa bath.

    There was no Service and the WiFi didn't work so was good to switch off but also couldn't use the facilities as listed like the Netflix or just to google what's around and things to do had to do that while we were in town. We also had the cleaners turn up at 9:55am as we were leaving which made us feel rushed.

    Location was amazing! Private and still close to town.

    We received an sms just after our money had been taken out telling us of all the restricted areas around the house. The main theme being don’t go within in eyeshot of the other properties. We couldn’t even walk around the grounds. We were there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. What a complete let down. Somebody walked around the property shining a torch in the windows at 11pm Friday evening. We don’t know who it was but my wife never slept that night worrying. This morning somebody banged on the door at 6-30am waking us up. We can only assume it was the next doors visitors. The track into the property is horrendous. The tv couldn’t receive any channels. There was a dirty table with 1 dirty chair with a dirty garden glove in our proposed verandah. For some reason all the solar lights were laid on the ground. The split system in the living area had a controller that had obviously been dropped at some stage so you could not read the screen. We will never go back to Hepburn and wish we had a better outcome on a very special occasion.

    Bedroom and bathroom were nice with big spa bath.

    Almost all the lighting in the bathroom and kitchen weren't working, one of the wine glasses has a huge smash in it which we realised after a drink was taken (we actually replaced the glasses ourselves so we could use them) downstairs toilet seat is broken.

    The views were amazing, fireplace and bath were perfect. Was really nice to have firewood provided also! Bed was beautiful and everything was nice and clean
