Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica S. 23 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing break The location was just what we were after, low key break to relax, go for walks and read books. The house was big enough for a large group of people to have their own space, and was well supplied with kitchen utensils which was great as we cooked a lot. We hadn’t been to Dinner Plain or Hotham previously so we were not aware that it is difficult to buy provisions, even basic items are difficult to get, eg butter and fresh milk. There is a supermarket but not operating at present, this was at Easter. Hopefully it will have an operator soon. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Monica S.
