This lovely property is a quiet cabin in a rural area fully fenced and with a lovely outdoor space. The owners live on the property but are respectful of privacy. While compact, our hosts provided everything that one could need, including many thoughtful touches. The breakfast items, including fresh farm eggs, were generous and very tasty. It is very safe for a pet dog, and our border collie spent hours gazing through the fence at the chooks that ranged around the yard. We would certainly consider staying at this property again, not only as a stop on a road trip, but as a base to explore the Bendigo region. Thanks to our wonderful hosts for their incredible hospitality.

The Cottage at Huntley

The cottage was easy to find as the host had sent clear concise instructions. When we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to find the little cottage was exactly as described. Everything was provided for us to enjoy our brief stay, the yard was fully fenced so our mini schnauzer Coco could come and go from inside as she pleased and she even got to chat with the household chickens. All round a very homey, secure place that I would recommend.
