A special place, amazing house with beautiful bush views, surrounded by birds. Close to Emerald Park Lake and Puffing Billy. Perfect place for a few days away with family. ##### Liz S.

Beautiful natural surrounds, we loved the hanging out on the deck and listening to the frogs and birds. It's a short drive from Melbourne and the shops aren't too far, but it feels like you're further away - which is real nice. ##### Mike F.
