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.

Great place for families

Great place for grandparents and family. There was a master bedroom and bathroom downstairs. Lovely sofas downstairs with multiple living areas and a huge dining table. Great barbecue. The property was great for walks with our dog, outside seating. Lots of wildlife wondering through. Would definitely book again.

Holidaying In The Grampians

Tranquil, relaxing environment . We especially enjoyed the outdoor seating around the fire pit. The layout of the family home was very accommodating to a large group of friends with several different seating areas. Over our 5 day stay we explored the Grampians in depth

Great spot for family

We had a great time here. Plenty of room, outdoor fire, indoor fire and a great outdoor bbq area. Great location only 3k's from Halls Gap but in a beautiful bush setting away from the tourist mayhem. The only downside was the coffee drinkers in our group couldn't use the coffee machine as there were no coffee beans, even though the webpage said there would be beans available. Not a big deal for the non coffee drinkers though.

Grampians Summer stay

We used Wisteria as a base for day trips and hikes throughout the Grampians. It’s close to Halls Gap and walking distance to the Halls Gap Pub. The house had adequate space for two families and it was an overall comfortable place to stay. The kitchen could do with a few baking trays and the pool table wasn’t the best I’ve played on. I would recommend the property.

a little disappointed with the upkeep of the house. Rubbish over the drive when we arrived and bins over full. The towels had been folded and put on the beds but some still damp. We put them all through the dryer. Lots of the plates and cups had chips. Lots of spider webs. These are all minor things and such a pity to spoil your holiday home, in a great location.

Hi Georgie, thanks for letting us stay there. We were pleased that there was plenty of firewood and it was very comfortable place in lovely surroundings. However feedback from group wanted to let you know there was no soap for the showers, no paper towelling or coffee beans as advertised. Some instructions on how to use some of the kitchen items would have been helpful. Also your toaster is a bit wonky- people were putting the bread in the toaster that had no spring and it would get stuck! Apart from that we had a great time. So thanks again!

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.

Great location for big group

We were 2 families staying for 4 nights. 5 adults, 3 kids (12, 13 & 15 years) & 2 dogs. The house can accommodate 15 people so there was lots of space for everyone. If you needed to work or down time, you could find somewhere. If you wanted the group together there is indoor & outdoor space. We saw plenty of kangaroos jumping by during our stay which was wonderful. The location is down a remote private road off the highway but very close to Halls Gap central. You can walk to a great coffee shop just down the road & there is a bottle shop & restaurant walkable at Halls Gap Hotel. A few things which could be done to improve the stay: the pool table isn’t straight so difficult to use. The dishwasher wasn’t able to run on full wash, only 1/2 wash. It had a great coffee machine but no coffee whc wld have been nice. Overall a great stay & we had a great time!

Beautiful location, amenities list could do with tweaking

Lovely location and setting, an interesting house, well suited for family holidays with heaps of space in garden and separate living / recreation areas in the house. A group of 4 seniors, we visited in coldest week of the year, and after 1st day, the house was pretty comfortable, even downstairs. The amenities list could be improved by stating that there are 3 double rooms and two bunk rooms with single beds only, and could also mention there is only one bedroom downstairs. Providing a welcome pack might have saved time and angst, and could include how to operate the various amenities. Mobile network coverage in the area is very patchy, mostly only consistent out in the garden, but it is a country setting. Wifi was good. The garden area was a delight with kangaroos, birds galore and even a couple of wayward deer to be seen. Children would love it, plenty of space. Overall, a nice property.

Great weather

The house was very spacious and well suited to our extended family, from grandmother to teens. Plenty of spaces to relax in The location was great as it was quiet and surrounded by a nice garden with good out door spaces. Loved the fire pit and garden settings A few things could do to be fixed. The pool table wasn’t even, the balls rolled to one corner which disappointed the teenagers. The filter on the dish washer hadn’t be cleaned in a long time so dish washer didn’t was properly until we cleaned the filter. The sliding door from dining area to outside needs fixing We struck really hot weather and we would have appreciated top sheets and blankets for better temperature control The property manager responded to the faulty fire alarm which needed a new battery. It would be good if there was an easier way to contact Stayz as we had difficulties probably partly due to poor reception but also because the messaging through the website kept bouncing back.

Nice house but

The wifi didn't work, so all phones on Optus had no phone service. Neither of the TV 'S worked as they needed wifi. I had to hotspot one TV with my phone to watch any movies. The other TV had a Telstra TV box that had expired 2 months before! There was no information on the bins and the bins were full and out on the road our whole visit. The BBQ didn't work and was unclean, we had to go buy a lighter to get it working. There were little ants all over front and back door light switches and one switch was making sparking noise. We couldn't work out the property boundary so felt uncomfortable exploring the area on foot. Provided a nice coffee machine, but again no instructions so we had to work it out ourselves. Stains on my pillow case and sheets weren't on bed properly. Lots of cobwebs and dead flies. The pool table was fun, but only 1 cue in working order and the table wasn't level. Wonderful wild life at the door: kangaroo, wallabys, emus, birds
