The house is as pictured and has been made as comfortable as possible. There is nice linen and home touches such as bird seed that meant we saw lots of lovely native birds on the deck. If you are looking for a new property you will be disappointed. It is an old home with some maintenance issues. Will this stop you enjoying yourself? Only if you let it. We had a lovely weekend, it was walking distance to Healesville and we enjoyed being able to walk to the Innocent Bystander. We were also grateful to be able to bring our pup, who loved the tame birds and sniffing through the trees and shrubbery. The hosts were lovely and communicated well and quickly.
