The house was in a great location overlooking the local park and swimming hole. The accommodation was clean and tidy and had all of the facilities we needed.
The hot waters flow was a little slow but still allowed us to do everything needed like wash dishes and shower.
Great place to stay.

We loved the little cabin and its 60s decor - perfect! Very peaceful and nice walks around the lake. Ian was great to deal with and super quick to answer a questions - thanks! The dogs enjoyed their stay too and had plenty of room to explore and sniff. A very enjoyable stay - thank you!

We had a lovely stay in this little gem of a cottage. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great so we couldn’t explore around the lake but we will be back for another visit.

Cosy, clean, comfortable with everything you need. Quirky retro décor. Close enough to walk to town centre but also situated in a quiet, peaceful, private location.
Lots to explore around Creswick, heaps of walking tracks. Plenty of easy daytrips to enjoy or just chill on the wonderful balcony overlooking the lake.
Absolutely great value!! (cheaper than a cabin at the local caravan park with a lot more to offer).
Ian is just a phone call away if you need anything.
Thank you, Ian, for providing me with some well needed respite from the stresses of Melbourne. I am already planning my next visit.

Very enjoyable stay in a cozy house in Creswick. A great place for a weekend away with my husband and I and our small dog. House was very neat and tidy with everything we needed and the outside fully fenced area with a deck was great to sit on and relax and enjoy a coffee or a drink. Close to the Main Street and across the road from the lake. Would definitely stay again.

It was an excellent holiday place to stay we enjoyed walks around Sr George's Lake many times. what a sensory experience.When we find a holiday home with various walking tracks I believe we must not miss it as this holiday gave us lots of activities to do. Enjoyed walking along the river bank near Ballarat. Ballarat has Unique ancient buildings shows it's rich Australian culture.900 mts from this place there is a bakery has the best five star food.we will visit again.Clunes close to this place first gold is found.It's nice to get away from busy lifestyle.

The place is actually smaller than it looks in the listing. Comfy beds and couch. It worked for a quick getaway, but I wouldn't want an extended stay. It's close to all amenities, so that's a plus.

Short weekend stay was great, small cosy and just enough for what we needed. The only downfall was the quality of the mattresses, luckily we brought our own gear. Awsome little nook of a place

Our stay was fantastic, so much so that we wished we had extended our stay by another 3 nights instead of moving back into Ballarat. Ian the owner was a brilliant host and if the opportunity ever arises again, "We'll be back".
Cheers

We could not be happier with our stay at this property with our 4 1/2 year old son and 3 dogs. It exceeded our expectations and we would definitely want to stay here again if/ when we return to the area. Would highly recommend.

The weather was terrible but this little cottage had good heating and stayed warm even when the heating was turned off. It would be perfect for 2 people. Great outlook on to the lake

I would have rated 5/5 and everything was fine up until the moment we went to bed. The bed was like laying on a slab of concrete with squeaking every time you moved. The bed should be taken to the tip and dumped. I don't have any back issues but after being in the bed for less than 15 minutes I had back and hip pains. It was impossible to get comfortable AT ALL!. This is no exagerration. The owner should replace that bed. It us a safety issue because we needed to do a long day trip the next day. Because we basically had no sleep we needed to take more breaks on our trip which made the trip even longer. Police say 'Fatigue kills' so the owner of the accommodation should do the right thing and provide a comfortable bed. Will not stay there again unless there is a new bed!!

This cosy cabin was very clean, location wonderful (verandah overlooking lake), and well equipped. We enjoyed four very comfortable and pleasant days there and were glad of access to shops, surrounding bushland and lovely countryside.
