Lovely little getaway

The cottage was beautiful and clean and had literally everything we could have imagined. Deb even left bread, milk, jam and chocolates for us on arrival. We stayed for three nights and thought it was just a gorgeous little getaway from the city. Communication with Deb was top notch and she even mailed back a couple of little baby onesies we accidentally left behind. Amazing stay and service, thank you so much!

Cosy cottage

The house was warm and cosy. It was extremely well equipped, including bread, milk, butter and jams. We were very comfortable and didn't want for anything. Very secure fencing out the back for my dog. The beds were beautiful and comfy.

Fabulous country cottage

We spent four nights here in freezing weather but the house was so warm and cosy. It was very comfortable and had absolutely everything you need for a great stay. As well as the central heating it was wonderful to enjoy the wood burner at night. We had our little Cavoodle with us and she felt completely at home. Each day we went out and about the local area and this house was an excellent base to visit wineries and to follow up some family history. We would definitely love to stay there again.

Deb was a premier host ++. Proactive, accomodating and, very friendly to deal with. Property was more than I hoped for. The location, quality toilet paper, towels, linen, cutlery, etc. The deck was amazing. Avoca town is walking distance. Secure yard. Plenty of parking. Clean, airy, bright and welcoming home.

Sweet little home

Sweet little home. Lovely screened in (flyscreen) deck at the back so you can enjoy view/weather without flies and mosquitos. Good sized and well equipped kitchen. Comfy furniture! The view from the front of the house is a bit to be desired but the backyard, deck and the rest of the home make up for it. Deb was very lovely and accommodating. I would stay here again.

Perfect weekend stay

Stayed for 2 nights but wished it could have been longer. Deb is perfect host, helpful and so easy to communicate with. Avoca lovely little town with top bakery and Avoca Hotel to name only 2 definitely worth visiting. The house is brilliant with everything you could possibly think of needing...and more. Quiet location, bushland to the back and beautiful Pyrenees mountains to gaze at all day to the front. So glad to find dog friendly too so we could enjoy weekend with our fur baby. Great time and would definitely love to return again, thank you.

Exceeded expectations, definitely recommend staying here.

We had a beautiful 2 nights in Avoca, a very cute little town, and a cute cottage. I have seen other reviews and I echo the sentiment, this house is better in person, the photo's so not do it true justice. This property, provided by a wonderful, friendly, helpful and accommodating host, Deb, is quaint, clean and ample. A beautiful wood fire, with plenty of wood at the ready was prepared for use, which we unfortunately we didn't get an opportunity to use, as we spent the nights out. While it was cold outside, we didn't need to stress as there is electric ducted heating to use in leui, we had the split systems and electric blankets, so plenty of warmth. oh and I cannot emphasise enough SUPER COSY beds. Our German Shepherd had heaps of room to run around both inside and out. The floors were both carpet and laminate "wood" flooring which she had no issues with. Highly recommend this place for your get away. Even the little town, albeit tiny didn't disappoint. Dinner and pool at the infamous Avoca pub was enjoyed, and the Award winning bakery that does an array of pies/pasties/sausage rolls etc, from vegetarian, beef, chicken, crocodile, emu, camel etc was super busy with very satisfied customers, oh and great coffee.. All this just minutes away from the property, that was surrounded by the great Australian bush, with trails to walk our puppy love. Honestly, even if you're visiting Ballarat and don't want to freeze, it's worth the 50 minute drive to go out to Avoca, the extra 2°C (ish) was very noticeable, going back into Ballarat during the day you could definitely notice it.... Don't overlook this well appointed property and a thank you to Deb for having us 😊
