The property as a whole and the cottage are magnificent, peaceful and welcoming. Such an amazing spot, quiet and relaxing. We spotted some little ducklings cruising around the lake today, its so hard to leave this oasis and head back in the real world! Thanks again Kaye!

Amazing!!!!! Just a wonderful place to stay. We stayed here for our wedding night and also had wedding photos taken there during the day. It's just spectacular, and Kaye and her family do such a wonderful job keeping it looking beautiful! Thank you Kaye for an excellent stay. The cottage was perfect for our first night as husband and wife, especially relaxing in the spa with a glass of bubbles after a long day!!! The breakfast was delicious too, that bread, yummy!

Great experience, perfect place for lovers. It was wonderful! The Lakeside Cottage is very luxurious, quiet with a very big and beautiful garden. To eat on the lake in the gazebo was so romantic. The homemade bread made by Kaye for the breakfast is absolutely delicious. From this place I recommend to go to Sky High Mount Dandenong, it's a fabulous view of Melbourne. It was also a pleasure for us to see a lot of animals like ibis, hare and ducks. Thank you for everything !!!
