Peaceful, Well-Equipped Retreat Close to Mt Buller

We had an absolutely amazing time at this sustainable retreat in Bonnie Doon. Nestled on a peaceful hillside overlooking the lake, the property offered the perfect escape from the busy everyday life.The owner was incredibly warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with — from booking to check-out, everything felt smooth and welcoming. You can really tell they’ve put love and care into creating a relaxing space for guests.The retreat had everything we needed to feel right at home — a fully equipped kitchen, a fantastic BBQ area, and plenty of thoughtful touches that made our stay both comfortable and fun. Whether we were relaxing indoors or soaking up the natural surroundings, we felt completely recharged.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quiet nature escape with all the right comforts — and perfect if you’re planning a visit to Mt Buller too!

Nice break in Bonnie Doon

Overall a great stay. House had all the requirements for a great week. Only issue was the driveway to the property, getting a larger trailer up the drive and down again wasn’t great. Perhaps that should be advised on the add.

How's the serenity?

The views were phenomenal! It was such a lovely stay, the property has everything that we needed and then some. It could do with a bit of a reno though as it's quite vintage and the bunk beds weren't comfortable however those are some minor issues that we easily overcame! Fantastic property and a short car ride from everything!
