Access
We are a true bush retreat at the end of the valley. Access is via a 4 km winding gravel road with some steep sections, and the surface can be corrugated at times. A 4WD is not required, but you do need to be comfortable driving on gravel.

You will need your own vehicle as there is no public transport in the area.
Quiet stay and noise policy
We follow EPA Victoria guidelines and care for the peace of our valley. Sound carries in the hills, especially at night, and there are other cottages on site.

Loud music is not permitted outdoors at any time.
Management reserves the right to control noise at all times to protect neighbours and fellow guests.
Strictly no parties. Unauthorised events will be shut down.

Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement only. They must be on a lead at all times, kept away from wildlife, and must not disturb other guests. If they do, they may be asked to leave.
