The property is about 8 km out of Trentham in a very quiet setting. Big picture windows bring the outside in, even in bad weather as we experienced. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Photos are accurate. We would recommend to anyone looking for a break from the city for a few days. Thanks for everything

Very comfortable, with everything considered - and beautiful garden views
A perfect base for our trips to Trentham, Wood End, Kyneton and various wineries. The house was immaculately clean and very well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable and the living area even nicer than it looked in the photos. So good to look out at the beautiful garden and catch the sunset.

Beautiful, countryside stay close to Trentham
We recently stayed for the weekend with our 6 year old son and were very impressed with the accommodation, location and our hosts! The house had all the facilities we needed, was very comfortable and clean and was only a short drive to Trentham for dinner. The property itself was beautiful with lots of wonderful birdlife. Thank you for a very relaxing stay and would highly recommend this to others!
