Felt very homely and comfortable, loved the privacy and the views. A honeyeater actually did visit the bush at the front of the property! Lovely personal touches including fresh baked bread which we greatly enjoyed throughout the stay. Loved being able to watch the farm animals on the property. Often ate and relaxed on the balcony. Close to many good bushwalks.

Sitting on a hillside in a delightful garden surrounded by rescue animals, within easy driving of everything you need, parks, beautiful countryside, comfortable, relaxing and sweet. wish we could have stayed longer.

Great cottage with all the amenities. We really appreciated the extras like the fresh baked bread and muffins. Would return here next time we are in the area.

No complaints. Everything was lovely.

Honey Eater cottage was absolutely delightful. The room was so cosy and beautifully appointed right down to special treats of home made bread and muffins. The fully fenced yard was perfect for our Border Collie who really loved exploring and seeing the animals especially the pony’s who came up to the fence each morning. The views from the balcony were wonderful. We do look forward to returning.

Nothing with the accommodation itself. Just that as it is located in rural area, should avoid arriving at the cottage at night.

Sandra is an excellent hostess. She knew that we would arrive late so gave us all sort of advices beforehand (eg beware of small animals on the road). We felt so warm when we found home made muffins waiting for us in the room after a long drive in the dark. The cottage is very comfortable with lovely decoration. We also enjoyed hanging around in Sandra's farm, feeding the ponies, goats and alpacas.

We could not think of any to be honest.

A nice and neat cottage with a lovely host, Sandra. Plenty of farm animals. The ponies would also respond to your greeting. The location is centre to everywhere, Seville, Healsville and everything. 10 minutes drive to the closest town. Sandra provided us breakfast with sourdough bread, croissants, milk, juice and condiments. She is also very welcoming and provides assistance when needed. We would love to go back again.

The cottage was beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable and sparkly clean. The hostess was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The balcony looked out over the farm property where there were very friendly ponies and goats. Beautiful birds visited regularly.

Nothing to write as we loved everything.

We loved everything about our stay. The owner has a very high standard. You can tell they put alot of effort into everything thing at the property. We loved that our dog had a very safe and secure stay. We also loved the effort that was given to the breakfast not just the normal boring breakfast items. Lots of attention to Homemade items. Made with love. And Really loved the garden..

The kitchen space was difficult. Small sink and no rack to dry. More bench space would make longer visits like ours easier.

Fireplace, main reason we chose Honeyeater and for dog friendliness. we did buy our own wood based on the limited firewood statement in the booking information. Spa bath was excellent and the bed was super comfy. Sandra’s home made muffins made Honeyeater exceptional.

Honeyeater was a lovely getaway. Though only a short distance out of Melbourne it felt like a world away. With beautifil views of the farm and its beautiful animals (loved meeting and feeding the ponies and cows). Freshly baked muffins and bread on arrival and a full continental breakfast was amazing. Sandra is just the loveliest lady/ host, it is obvious that she takes great pride and care in honeyeater and it shows in how beautiful the cottage is and how great you feel when sitting on the verandah with a cup of tea just admiring the views. Having the cottage fully fenced off gives a sense of security to letting our dog roam, it's super pet friendly. Loved it!

The kitchen is very compact and not really suited to cooking but we were aware this is a B&B and there are plenty of good places to eat close by. There is very little not to like.

It was extremely comfortable and well furnished. The bathroom is a high standard and the deep tub a welcome indulgence. There is a wood fire for the colder weather which we did not need while we were there. We were provided with muffins and an abundance of bread. We preferred the fresh farm eggs provided on request. Fresh juices were very nice as well. There is a generous supply of plates, glasses and cooking utensils. The cottage shares the farm property with a variety of animals. Were got to meet the friendly miniature ponies who came to the fence. We very much appreciated that Sandra welcomes pets and our elderly Siamese also enjoyed his stay. The location was ideal, between the Yarra Valley and the Danenongs and close to places to eat. `
