We have a cosy and modern lounge where the main entertainment and social area is located. The centre of the lounge is the original fireplace. Surrounding the fireplace, there are digital TV, coffee table and a large sofa.

The central section of the house is a very spacious kitchen and dining area. You will find another original fireplace in this area. It has an old-school cooktop one can still boil hot water on top of it. This area can easily fit 6 people for dinner. It is very communal and perfect to enjoy a family meal or a romantic dinner after a full-day activities in the mountains.

The entire house is decorated with notable artworks from Melbourne based artist Cate Maddie. She is well known for natural still objects with a modern perspective.

Last but not the least, we haven’t forget your furry friends. Our pets absolutely love our house and gardens. I am sure yours will too. Our backyard is a very pet friendly area with lush vegetation and fenced boundaries. Please make sure you will bring beddings and bowls for your pets. We would ask you not to encourage your pets to climb up to our expensive furnitures and beds. Like our human friends, our pets deserve their own space and privacy. Hence there will be a $50 pet fee per stay for each pet. We only welcome maximal 2 pets per stay.

During autumn, the garden is lit up with beautiful maple leaves in golden colour. I am sure this is a great photo opportunity for instagrammers. We would appreciate your full respect to this historical property and the peaceful surroundings. Hence please remove your shoes and allow your feet to feel the natural timber floor. And please do not bring a noisy party to the neighborhood.
