Had the most relaxing winter getaway at the Rainbow Cottage. The accommodation was warm and inviting, and the hosts were friendly and helpful.
My dog Leo LOVED playing chasey with Penny, and I enjoyed... meeting the resident camels and exploring the expansive property.
I look forward to visiting again, and hopefully catching a glimpse of the wombats.
A true little Gippsland gem!

Outstanding! Diana and Bernie were the best and kindest hosts I have ever had in my life, such care and quality. Everything from the cottage, fire, spa, and their beautiful land and what they are crea...ting there is heartwarming. I adored the fact that Diana is planting indiginous flora as it will over time attract native animals to a safe haven, and in turn making it their very own consevation refuge. Power is in sustainability, and they are doing it. I am so glad that people like this exist, it gives me hope.

Lovely little retreat. After a long walk on the rail trail from Tinamba to Stratford, this cottage had all that we needed. Warm heating, deep spa and a beautiful view of the river at sunset. Bernie..., our host was very attentive and provided excellent communication. Would love to stay here again when it's warmer and try out the offer of kayaks!
