Corvah House

We thoughly loved our one week stay at Corvah house. Checkin was easy with the door lock system. The garden was beautiful and Pool was excellent and able to be cleaned during our stay (thankyou), House was beautiful as expected, the living areas and 2 of the bedrooms were a bit small but are things that cannot be changed. It was easy to contact the manager of the property regarding some small items which the house needed. Thankyou for a great week.

We were a party of 7 older friends and we had a great stay in this comfortable, historical house. The outside decking overlooking the pool with the flowering wisteria was wonderful after a day sightseeing around Castlenaine and environs

Excellent property

Brilliant property for us as we were 11 family adults for our annual get together. However, the ensuite toilet requires attention as it does not stop running and we had to continually turn the water cystern tap off after each flush. The ensuite basin takes forever to drain which desperately needs attention. The toilet seat in the bathroom is very l oise to almost falling off. We were unable to tighten it sufficiently to keep the seat stable. Apart from these minor repair requirements your property is great. Thankyou

Lovely house

This was a lovely house, which easily caters for groups. Unfortunately the weather didn't lend itself to bbq and pool use, but looks like it would be ideal in summer.

Wonderful historic house - perfect for a a group

This house provided the perfect place for a family reunion. The kids loved the back yard and the pool and the grandparents loved the old world charm. An easy walk into town, to the rail trail and the BMX bike park. Highly recommend!

Wonderful

We had a wonderful weekend, house is great, the pool very clean I would recommend this place.. We had a party of 12 and four were in their late 60's so getting down the stairs to the pool was very difficult as there were no hand rails on the stairs from the outside patio to the pool, as well no hand rail to help you into the pool as well the BBQ was left dirty. We had a problem trying to get the outside fridge working I rang Donna, I was very impressed with the quick service we received. We had to go shopping and Not only was the fridge on and working when we got back it was packed with our drinks.as well.

Beautiful, relaxing and worth it

This is by far way better than a motel. With all the comforts of home and more, the homestead has been decked out with everything you could possibly want. Plenty of room and the heating warmed up this beautiful homestead - and our hearts!

Beautiful Home

We stayed at Corvah House on the Austrailia Day Weekend. The home was really beautiful. It had modern appliances while keeping the old feel of the home. The pool was excellent - we spent a lot of time in or around it just relaxing. I would highly recommend this property and have full intentions of returning one day for another relaxing weekend.

Fantastic venue

Beautiful old house, immaculately maintained, perfect for 8 adults (with room for more if needed) to have a bit of a reunion. Lack of Wi-Fi only pontential negative and that may even have been there if we could have been bothered looking.

Provence in Castlemaine

Corvah House reminded us of the historic property we stayed in while holidaying in Provence. This unique Castlemaine property was the ideal setting for our family to prepare for, and relax after our daughter's wedding. The outdoor deck overlooking the pool and garden provided a picturesque environment for family to enjoy a relaxing provincial experience. Corvah House is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and usability. With a fine eye for detail it has been beautifully fitted out.

Accommodation is fresh, clean and with just about every thing a group could need. The kitchen is well furnished, and outdoor barbeque supplements any cooking needs . Access is easy between rooms, ample storage space including the lovely decking area.Even though on a busy road, the house is quiet , air clean, and opportunity to take in tourist activities is simple. The main bedroom with ensuite is just gorgeous. Bed is like sleeping on a cloud.
