    1 dining room chair, wobbly coffee table, 1 spoon, 1 dirty ashtray on the outside table and a pile of rubbish behind the cabin. Luckily we were only staying 1 night.

    Great location after getting off the Spirit of Tasmania. Bed was comfortable and shower had heaps of hot water.

    The sheets were clean but they were so crinkly I was worried that they weren't clean. The bed and couch were a bit tired and again didn't feel as clean as they should be. Everything else was very clean though.

    The location was perfect as we were wanting to be close to the You Yangs National Park. It was also quiet, and 3mins from Lara for supermarket/food etc. The bathroom was lovely, great big bath and large separate shower. We enjoyed a movie on Netflix, and the aircon worked well (it was a really hot day). It was a relaxing quiet place to stay.

    The mozzies in the room and it’s very pricey. No bus stops close by, so it was a long walk to the nearest bus stop, if going to the shops.

    The location of the property being off a main road, and seeing the horses next door in the paddock.

    Facilities were good and the staff although off site very helpful

    Very spartan and the bed mattress was way too soft. It was a wheel chair friendly room and had to be kept very empty for access

    If there could be some disposable soap bars that would be helpful. Also beds in our cabin were not very clean, we do appreciate the owner came and provided us the substitute bed sheets but unfortunately I still found insects bites on my back the next day.

    The owner is very quick response to all communications and requests. We arrived late and found everything well organized, warm room and soft couch also with smart TV. The cabin is private with plenty space outside for each tenant to enjoy the peaceful night watching the silver river. We actually didn't found any mountain view but excited for animal view, my kids were really enjoyed the stay. Thank you!

    Location was great for our parkrun the next morning at You Yangs parkrun. Facilities were what we needed for a quick 1 night stay.

    We found for ourselves that our cottage we stayed in needs a bit of a birthday. There was only 1 chair at the dining room table? Some attention needed to the curtains & rods in the lounge room, not user friendly?

    The location suited us well, it was lovely and a quiet place to stay, would stay again. Plenty of spacious parking.

    The only issue was the height of the bed, it was pretty low. Not normally a problem but with my bad knees it was difficult to get out of bed.

    The host was courteous and responded to our emails promptly. The accomodation was clean and well presented, and catered for 2 families in 2 cabins next to each other. Quiet location.
