Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki L. 10 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We were almost going to cancel our trip due to severely cold wet weather forecast for the long weekend but we had come from NW WA to visit the Casterton Kelpie Muster and decided to continue. We walked into the house - and it was the "wow" factor!! The decor is tasteful, white and bright contrasting with a beautifully polished wooden floor. The windows are large (and double glazed) providing both light and wonderful rural landscapes.The 3 king beds were very comfortable and - the best thing, we walked in and the entire house was WARM! Not only does it have a fireplace, but also split system airconditioning/heating - and heat banks. It was a pleasure to use the bathroom and laundry even! No matter how cold we got outside on our adventures, we knew we had a beautiful, warm home to come back to. ##### Vicki L.

There was five adults staying at the property and it was so warm, clean and inviting. We stayed very warm (given the outside temperatures down to 2 degrees) around the wood fire and the multiple panel heaters kept the entire house warm. The interior of the property was styled very nicely and the amenities were all modern and easy to use. The beds were all very comfortable and we appreciated that good linen was provided! Would definitely recommend staying at the property. Communication with the hosts was easy and timely, they were a pleasure to engage with. ##### Alison P.
