The property was everything we hoped for & ideal access to the towns we needed to visit - Lancefield, Romsey, Sunbury & Woodend.Our 4 year old German shepherd was thrilled with the access to a very large park area directly across the road & the cafes within walking distance

Perfect for girls night away
Lovely cosy property, perfect for a night away with the girls. Loved that it had 4 single beds and a queen so we all had our own bed. Big couch in the living area to fit us all on was also a bonus.

The environment is peaceful and the house is in a good location.
The only downside of the property would probably be the lack of cooling system in the bedrooms. The doors of the rooms have to be kept open for the cool air from the main spilt system to travel in on a hot summer day.
Secondly, the oven is not in working condition and there is no dishwasher in the property. Lastly, the hot water is not consistent and makes bathing a little miserable as it could not be continuous throughout the bathing period.

Comfy home away from home
My medium-sized dog and I stayed for 2 nights, while the weather was sub-par, the house was great and very comfy. My dog enjoyed the fenced front and the back yards, and the nearby parks.

Romsey review
We arrived late because my daughter was in hospital. Unfortunately somehow I recorded the incorrect address. Because it was dark when we arrived and dark when we needed to leave for our trial it was hard to see any dog droppings. I’m sorry if I missed any.

The house was in immaculate condition and the heating was toasty. Everything we needed was provided.
This bungalow located in Romsey is clean an modern. We visited a couple of local hits up in mt Macedon and Daylesford. Though it was cold outside during winter (got down to 3oC at night), we had two modern heaters keeping us warm during the night.
The kitchen had everything we needed including pots, pans, cutlery.
Bedding was pretty good with extra duvet provided.
Johan and Yvonne were very accommodating, allowing us to use their space while letting us know that they were in arms reach in case we needed anything.
5 stars. Very happy family

Great place, great location, amazing host.
Cute place, the photos actually don't do it justice. Its a lot more spacious and nicer than it appears in the pictures.
The location is great too for exploring the Macedon wine region and i can't recommend this place enough.
We had 2 couples and a dog and it was great. There is wifi too.
Yvonne was amazing to deal with and very accommodating.
Thanks!

Perfect place to stay out of bustle of Melbourne
Arrived after day sail from Tassie, exhausted after long day. Warmly greating by Johan and Yvonne and house was very clean and warm. Excellent place for the dog with lock up from and back yards. Bed was very comfy and allowed recharge before setting off to Sydney. Particularly loved waking up to the magpies but I am a Tasmanian. I will be back on the return trip, thanks James

Clean comfortable, all amenities
Great place, a suggestion, there was dog faeces in the yard..possibly a dog poop collector plus an outdoor bin to deposit faceces, we always pick up our dogs faeces, but will not pick up other people dogs faceses. Lovely place and hosts, so great place want to stay again but facilities for faeces collection is needed

Property was quiet, perfectly clean and well equipped. Owners friendly and very accomodating
Loved our family weekend away at Yvonne and Johans house. Nice and quiet area and very private. House was lovely and clean with comfy beds and couches. Very well equipped. The owners were very friendly and accomodating. Only 15 min drive to Edgar's Mission which was the reason we stayed in Romsey and about the same distance to Hanging Rock. Beautiful area. Would definitely love to stay there again
