Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra R. 28 Nov 2017 #### Just gorgeous! Myself and my brother/sister had a long awaited sibling getaway at Ambleside just recently. The place is just stunning! It gives you a sense of a very comfortable life in the old days as it was built around 100 yrs ago, but now has very stylish furnishings and artwork along with beautiful fabrics in the bedrooms. The gardens are amazing - very tranquil and the kookaburras just loved coming down to be fed each morning and evening. I would definitely recommend this as a 'to do' getaway - Vincents contact was prompt, his house/care instructions very clear and finding the property was seamless and he made us feel very welcome (we actually arrived a tad early and met him watering the garden!) Very memorable stay! Will be back for sure! ##### Sandra R. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### JODI S. 27 Nov 2017 #### Simply Beautiful My husband & I recently stayed at Ambleside for my birthday. The property is absolutely beautiful. The house was a gorgious step back in time and we loved walking around the garden. Sitting outside on the deck in the evening was peaceful and having the King Parrots come down to visit was a joy. We thoroughly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away from their busy life and just want to unwind. ##### JODI S. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### CINDY D. 26 Nov 2017 #### Beautiful We loved our stay at Ambleside cottage. It had everything we needed.

We hope to come back one day. ##### CINDY D. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### FIONA A. 31 Oct 2017 #### peaceful and relaxing With young children and a dog Ambleside was the perfect home for our weekend getaway. The house was clean and tidy with a everything we could have possibly needed. Super comfy beds were also fantastic. The kids loved exploring the garden and playing on the cubby house and swings. We loved the local walks through the bushland and even made a couple of trips to the local tennis court for a hit of tennis and some basketball. Thank-you Vincent for ensuring we had a perfect weekend away. ##### FIONA A. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### TOM A. 9 Oct 2017 #### Amazing peaceful space My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our few nights at Vincents private, lush property. Everything needed was there + a bit extra and the area was very green and beautiful. Many hikes and things to do around. There was no face to face interaction and was a very very easy check in process. Highly recommend visiting this place! ##### TOM A. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen R. 6 Sept 2017 #### Amazing break away I cannot rate this place high enough. One of the best winter getaways. The entire experience from booking to leaving was seamless. Vincent was great in providing all the information we needed, not only on how to access the property but also he provided helpful information on what to do. As soon as you walk into the house you already feel as though it is a home away from home! The décor, the fire place, the homely feel it was just perfect. We also to our dog to the property which just made it feel as a real family holiday. The house is well equipped and everything down to the smallest details from hand towels, wood supplied for the fire and the hotel quality linen. We will be back ever winter to enjoy our home away from home. ##### Karen R. ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Razorback Dream Farmhouse: 10BR, Space & Serenity](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Razorback-Hotels-Razorback-Holiday-House-With-Incredible-Views.h54511416.Hotel-Information) > - [Seafarers Getaway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apollo-Bay-Hotels-Seafarers-Getaway.h7270880.Hotel-Information) > - [Victoria Lodge Motor Inn And Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Victoria-Lodge-Motor-Inn-And-Apartments.h1522127.Hotel-Information) > - [Criterion Hotel Sale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sale-Hotels-Criterion-Hotel-Sale.h19111424.Hotel-Information) > - [Mirage Whitsundays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mirage-Whitsundays.h11066236.Hotel-Information) > - [All Seasons Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mildura-Hotels-All-Seasons-Holiday-Park.h17962526.Hotel-Information) > - [Apollo Bay Waterfront Motor Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apollo-Bay-Hotels-Apollo-Bay-Waterfront-Motor-Inn.h6953189.Hotel-Information) > - [Beachfront Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Beachfront-Resort-Torquay.h6424587.Hotel-Information) > - [Lake House Daylesford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daylesford-Hotels-Lake-House-Daylesford.h34517.Hotel-Information) > - [Ingenia Holidays Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Holiday-Park.h8723119.Hotel-Information) > - [Desert Gardens Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-Desert-Gardens.h67183126.Hotel-Information) > - [Lady Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrnambool-Hotels-Lady-Bay-Resort.h4561931.Hotel-Information) > - [Alpine Heights 21](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotham-Heights-Hotels-Alpine-Heights-21.h48658955.Hotel-Information) > - [Mansfield Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mansfield-Hotels-Mansfield-Apartments.h14702651.Hotel-Information) > - [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > - [Kudos Villas and Retreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daylesford-Hotels-Kudos-Villas-And-Retreats.h9626538.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaloha Holiday Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cowes-Hotels-Kaloha-Holiday-Resort-Phillip-Island.h3348173.Hotel-Information) > - [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > - [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > - [Kryal Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leigh-Creek-Hotels-Kryal-Castle.h7226539.Hotel-Information) > - [Central Motel Port Fairy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Fairy-Hotels-Central-Motel-Port-Fairy.h4489585.Hotel-Information) > - [The Caledonian Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wonthaggi-Hotels-The-Caledonian-Hotel.h111033198.Hotel-Information) > - [Abby's Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bright-Hotels-Abbys-Cottages.h3956857.Hotel-Information) > - [Elm Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bright-Hotels-Elm-Lodge.h9629673.Hotel-Information) > - [Konjo Bet - family friendly home near beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Woolamai-Hotels-Konjo-Bet-Family-Friendly-Home-Near-Beach.h112462736.Hotel-Information) > - [Waters Edge - affordable beachfront apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Fairy-Hotels-Waters-Edge-Affordable-Beachfront-Apartment.h34098494.Hotel-Information) > - [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > - [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > - [MAGPIE NEST - All you need for a comfortable getaway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marysville-Hotels-MAGPIE-NEST-All-You-Need-For-A-Comfortable-Getaway.h59194666.Hotel-Information) ---
