Firstly the house is absolutely stunning. The house had everything you can think of to make your stay enjoyable. The beds / bed sheets were like sleeping on a cloud. Kerry was so helpful & accommodating, communication was excellent and the house was outstandingly clean. I will 100% be going back and will definitely be recommending to anyone that is heading to the area. Thank you again Kerry Pat on the back for such a beautiful home you have created for all to enjoy

Newstead Gem of a House

This property is a new house equipped with all conveniences. Even a fully operational laundry and 2 coffee machines. The list goes on…..We really enjoyed our stay here. The cold nights were enhanced by heating in lounge and bedrooms along with electric blankets on the beds. All brand new.A butlers kitchen adjoined the kitchen lounge area.Newstead is a quaint town in central Victoria. Recommendation:You need to stay at least a couple of nights - longer would be better - to soak up the warmth of the hospitality and the home.
