Our group of friends, along with their kids all had a great time on the property. We loved seeing the local wildlife and hearing the kookaburras laugh. We used the firepit nightly and it was fantastic to sit around the fire, drinking wines from the local wineries after a day exploring the area. The kitchen was well equipped, beds were very comfortable, plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 6 kids.

fabulous property- close to Halls gap centre. Has a pen outback for doggies and a huge camp fire area. great for families. we had a bunch of kangaroos on the first morning nibbling the grass out front- it was beautiful. my only caution would be that if you have people upstairs and you are sleeping downstairs, you hear the creaking floorboards. so bring earplugs if youre sensitive to that stuff. But its a gem of a property-i'd come back.

A well equipped house for a large family, extended family or a few families. Extensive property was enjoyed by inquisitive grandkids. Only suggestion would be to add some plastic ware in the kitchen for younger children.

Multi-family getaway
Comfortable place, great for a couple of families. Large enough so we did not feel on top of each other. Enjoyed the bush surroundings. Loved the emus and kangaroos that came by each day.

Although a little dated, this place was perfect for our needs. Lots of bedrooms and a full kitchen meant we could self cater. It’s in a quiet location and fantastic to just sit and chill after our function.

Dirty and unkept. Ruined our family get together in the Grampians
Rubbish all around the outside of the property from the bin, rotting green waste left in the kitchen, dishwasher left with food scraps and dirty water in the bottom, glasses cups and utensils all needed to be washed, stained carpets that don't look to have been vacuumed and stained bedsheets that don't look to have been changed. Several cockroaches had to be removed from the kitchen plus the smoke detector continually beeps. We changed the battery and it still beeped. Messaged the owner but still have not received a reply. Overall very disappointed. The place is large and has potential but is poorly kept with little evidence of it being recently used or cleaned.
