Additional Information

Craving an escape from those familiar four walls? Experience the tranquility and beauty of the bush, just 10 minutes from Ballarat. Embrace the freedom of nature, breathe deeper, and reset surrounded by towering gums, wildlife, and bird song. Step into the boat at sunset to enjoy a glass of wine on the water, taking a picture to capture the moment. When the day is done, enjoy a hot shower and comfortable king-size bed as the frogs sing you to sleep.

As a new day breaks, wake to dappled golden sunlight filtering through the trees. Take your time. Perhaps a coffee on the deck looking out over the water. A simple breakfast cooked on the BBQ, as kookaburras watch curiously from above, hoping to snare any leftovers.

Fabulous retreat in the bush. Attention to detail is superb, from the super comfy king bed to the extra hot water to the luxuriously chocolately brownies and marshmallows for roasting on the fire. Ba...llarat is close by with its wonderful gallery and restaurant options. There’s even an exquisite perfumery. Top notch mini break and highly recommended!
