Sue and Johnathon were lovely hosts...a beautiful home in a gorgeous part of Victoria. Jonathon drove us into Hurstbridge and we had a very nice meal at Henry Hurst Pizza and Pasta Everything we needed for brekky tea and coffee and bathroom accessories etc was supplied by Sue. Highly reccommend staying with Sue and Johnathon. Sharon and Ross

Daphne Homestay was the perfect place for us to catch up with our friends. Great accommodation, comfortable, clean and well appointed. We really appreciated the private sitting room and tha ability to make our own tea and coffee. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast and our host were warm, welcoming and very flexible.

Their house is amazing! We did not get to meet Sue, but Jon made us feel right at home when we arrived, and he was friendly and interesting to chat with. Our accommodation was spacious and cozy, with the choice of two bedrooms, a lounge/dining area, and private bathroom. And it was amazing to find out from Jon that the photos hung up were his families (black and white photos from the 1900s)! Breakfast was great, with Jon's home-made bread and coffee! We wished we could have stayed longer and would highly recommend Sue and Jon's place.

Amazing house, lovely hosts and picturesque neighbourhood. You couldn't ask for more. We felt at home from the first second and not only because of the warm welcome but also because of the own private and cosy area where we had everything we needed. We were able to enjoy privacy as well as to join the hosts for wonderful dinners and great conversations. The food was absolutely flawless and even special wishes (we are vegetarians) were easily fulfilled. We would come back at any time and can definitely recommend it. 5/5 stars (a pity that we can't give 6 stars here).

Seriously beautiful hosts so very helpful, kind and generous... we wanted to move in and stay!! The space we stayed in was clean and cozy and a yummy breakfast every morning. We stayed with our two young children, they were made so very welcome. My 4 year old said his favourite thing was sitting in front of the fire playing lego. The location was great as we could just stroll into the main strip with shops and park and station. Highly recommended!!

Very sweet hosts and a lovely set of rooms. Beautiful house among lots of greenery. Breakfast was fab. Thanks for hosting our weekend getaway!

We stayed at Daphne Homestay while visiting for a family wedding. Sue was exceptionally welcoming and could not have done more to make us welcome. The guest space is well equipped and very comfortable. Breakfast was generous and delicious and included her home baked bread. Daphne homestay is located in a quiet and leafy area and close to a number of cafes and wineries. It would make a fabulous base for exploring the area when we next return: hopefully for a little longer! Thanks Sue!

Our two night stay at Sue and Jon's was a wonderful experience. They made us so welcome and were so easy and interesting to chat with. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable. We had the choice of two bedrooms, a lounge/dining area, lovely bathroom and our own outside decking area. Breakfast was fantastic, with Jon's home made bread and preserves and yogurt. We wish we could have stayed longer and would highly recommend Sue and Jon's place if staying in Hurstbridge.

Ocean was a lovely host and very welcoming. We all enjoyed a hit of tennis, table tennis and even tried some badminton. Her daughter joined us as we let our dog have a run around the fields. Ocean also drove us to the local viewpoint so we could catch the sunset which was a lovely gesture. The price was just right for a quick lay over and relaxing stay. I would recommend anyone looking in this area to consider this as an option.

Nice quiet location clean and comfortable thanks

Great place and we enjoyed the nature!

Ocean was a fantastic host. Very welcoming and easygoing. The property is beautiful and we really enjoyed our getaway from the city. The cottage was clean and spacious. We would highly recommend!

Handy accomodation for a nearby wedding. Clean, simple, quiet with everything necessary for an overnight stay

The small cottage was just right for our overnight stay. A short drive to the local pub for dinner, and to the St Andrews market and other beautiful areas locally. We enjoyed our stay, especially the peace and quiet and the lovely country views

Ocean was really friendly. We where in and out due to wedding commitments... nice clean place to stay in the area

Awesome host. Lovely property

Great place to stay. The view from the bedroom is beautiful, as is the birdsong. Joan looked after us well, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended!

What a special place to stay! Absolutely gorgeous home, with meticulous detail to ensuring guests comfort. The setting is very serene and peaceful. Joan was a fantastic host, so kind and helpful. Could not have hoped for such a wonderful stay. Thank you so much Joan!

Wonderful place to stay. Gracious and welcoming host. Lots of extra touches that made the stay excellent. Can't wait to come back!

This beautifully appointed, immaculate yet homely retreat nestled amongst such gorgeous landscape is the perfect getaway! And thank you to Joan for being a very welcome and informative host; couldn't recommend this enough!

Really beautiful location with beautiful views, nice walks, super house and a wonderful host. Couldn't ask for more.

Our stay at Joan's home was wonderful! So peaceful, a great view and we enjoyed walking around the land. We had lots of privacy and Joan helped when necessary. The amenities available were very useful and the space was 100% clean. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Joan

Upon arrival, Joan advised we could check in early, it was the easter weekend and Joan had left little easter egg gifts and beautiful food for us. Joan hospitality was exceptional and will not hesitate to go back and visit again soon! Thank you so much for the stay Joan, you were fabulous!

Great place to stay, lovely view across the vineyard, comfy king size bed!

We were met by Katrina and peter, they showed us round and explained everything. They were available if we needed them, but otherwise we had the peace and quiet we had gone for. The amenities were fantastic, a very pretty and well thought out area, with a touch of luxury. We loved our stay and would definitely go back again. Thank you.

Exceptionally clean and well maintained place - barbeque included! Linen, and fittings of a high standard. Katrina and her partner were very welcoming and helpful. Its a scenic spot out in the bush and very peaceful. The area has a kitchenette which was fine for our purposes along with the barbecue. Katrina also offered to share their full kitchen if we needed. The spa bath was fully functional and very clean. And they left robes and slippers in the closets! It really is a first class place. We saw animal life in the area like cockatoos, kangaroos, eagles and rabbits.

Thankyou Katrina and Peter for being amazing host. We loved staying at your Air B and B.We loved your friendly greeting, freshly baked bread, cooked muffins, and cold refreshments. Your place was peaceful, tranquil and inviting. I loved relaxing on the spa deck looking out over the gum trees. I would highly recommend this getaway for couples , families or lovely indulgence for one.

Me and my partner visited Katrina's beautiful Yarra Vally home with my parents who were over visiting from Scotland at the time. We were looking for a quiet and relaxing retreat from which to access all the great food and wine in the surrounding countryside - and we certainly found this here! The pictures really don't do this comfortable, generously proportioned and really quite unique home full justice. The cosy rooms and spacious garden were a pleasure to inhabit, and in it's secluded woodland setting we really did feel like we were 'away from it all'. The spa pool at the end of a day exploring the vally was simply bliss! More important than the property itself however was the warmest of welcomes that we received from our hosts for the weekend. Katrina and Peter could not have been more helpful, courteous and relaxed during our stay - and we were made to feel completely at ease in their home. Expect a few visits from the local wildlife, including cockatoos and roo's! This is a special place, hosted by great people.

Beautiful homey feel! It was lovely and everything was easy to find. The area was so nice and peaceful especially when we would wake up in the morning and sit on the verandah having our tea and coffee with the amazing view of the paddock and greenery! Loved relaxing in the spa. Definately recommend Katrina & Peter's place for a little getaway!

We had an incredible stay in this beautiful house - we were very well looked after. The hot tub was our favourite bit and the hospitality was wonderful (we were given breakfast ingredients and baked goods). Lovely weekend away.

We had a lovely stay in Hurstbridge! It's a beautiful accommodation, so peaceful and elegant! Katrina was a great host and made us feel so welcome!! A perfect place to unwind! Not far from shops if you need something, but far enough in the country to escape the noise! Thanks so much again for everything!! Would def stay here again!!!

This house was lovely and even better than the photos made out. The rooms are big and the sunroom, garden and views make this house very relaxing. Katrina was an excellent host, making us feel welcome and kindly providing biscuits and coffee/tea facilities. The house is easily accessible to the Yarra Valley where we went to a wedding. Thanks for having us, hope to come back soon.

Great property & host, will be back again for sure. Beautiful place to stay with fantastic fireplace, modern facilities, comfortable rooms and homely feel. Jacqui was fantastic, easy to communicate with and even got the fireplace roaring for our arrival on Friday, and return from wineries on Saturday! Location is excellent, right near St Andrews and a number of top-notch wineries. Don't have a bad word to say about it, and will return again as soon as we can!

Beautiful property and great for a short weekend out of town to the Yarra Valley. Impeccably furnished with modern facilities, spacious rooms and great fireplace, which was going upon arrival. Would definitely stay here again.

It was lovely to arrive to a fire that was already going on a Friday night. Every detail has been thought of. A generous stack of firewood was neatly stacked ready to go, and heat proof gloves to safely load the wood into the fireplace. The hosts are lovely, showed us through where everything is and how to operate the essentials. The hamper provided has enough for 2 breakfasts for 4 people, and coffee pods for the machine provided. Our children gave the table tennis table a real workout. I rate this property safe for children aged from about 8 yrs and up. The kangaroos visited in the morning, our kids loved watching them hop around for about and hour and no doubt international guests would enjoy this very much.

A great stay near the Yarra valley. It's a beautiful house, really well kept with comfy beds, a nice bathroom and kitchen and beautiful open fireplace. We had lots of visits from nearby animals too - kangaroos, birds... Jacqui was a fantastic host, and the breakfast hamper was a nice touch. Would come stay again!

From the moment we arrived at the retreat we were able relax and unwind. Amazing hospitality set in a fantastic location. Will definitely be back as soon as possible. Highly recommend to compliment your weekend in the Yarra Valley.

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!! Couldn't ask for a better weekend away. Probably the most relaxing place I've stayed at in Victoria. The place looks great on photos but even more amazing in person. The hosts were so welcoming and lovely. Will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much. :)

Jacqui and Blaze were wonderful hosts, warm and friendly and very accommodating. The apartment was divine, comfortable, spacious and wonderfully equipped to ensure we would have a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. The hamper provided was generous and delicious. We enjoyed walks in surrounding bushland and outings to local markets and wineries. We highly recommend this very close but secluded weekend retreat

Loved the cottage. Serene, rustic, romantic. Hoping to experience it in every season...

Awesome little cabin with stunning views within a tranquil setting. It was great to have our dog with us in such a care free setting and with the added bonus of understanding hosts.. just fantastic! Many thanks!

Had a great time away! Thankyou. Highly recommended

I have used airbnb frequently and this was hands down the best on yet- not only because the accomodation is beyond beautiful - but the hosts are incredibly generous, great communicators and allowed privacy and space. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs some calm RnR. I stayed with wife and 4yr old son and it was perfect. Thank you!

Ok not wanting to offend other hosts, but this is by far the best Airbnb we've stayed in so far. Quiet, stuning location in easy drive of Melbourne. Lovely 1890's stone cottage with friendly goat and horse to show you around the property! Great hosts, extremely helpful and knowlegable about the area - Will be back for a longer stay soon!

I booked this cottage as a gift for my sister and brother in law. Belinda was excellent to communicate with. She was very prompt in responding and very helpful! She made everything very easy! My sister and brother in law loved their stay! Thought the place was very relaxing and peaceful and perfect for an escape from the city!

We absolutely loved this charming and unique cottage in the sky. Perfect getaway from the city for an evening or two. The views are spectacular and best enjoyed from the jacuzzi. If you're lucky you'll get to meet Zeus ( the horse) and Scooby ( the goat). The lovely couple who own the property have added many extras ( breakfast, toiletries etc) which made this pleasant experience even more memorable.

This place is gorgeous, peaceful and really well set up. The hosts are really lovely, going above and beyond what you would normally expect. I highly recommend for a serene, relaxing weekend trip.

We had such an amazing time at Hilltop Glamping. It's such a wonderful location and a really unique spot not hugely far from Melbourne. The facilities themselves were top notch - we were warm and snug in our comfortable bed all night (while the wind swirled around outside). And the coffee the next morning by the fire watching the Kangaroos in the next paddock was an awesome experience. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough and am really keen to go back!

This was a fantastic spot! So welcoming and warm hosts.

Absolutely lost for words at this experience!! Took my partner away for our anniversary, and could not have asked for a better location or host! It's definitely underpriced for how good it is, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet weekend away. We will be coming back again soon for another getaway! Thank you so much Andrew and Ellen for a truly phenomenal weekend!

Andrew was so nice and friendly! The tent was very roomy and clean. I'd definitely come back here again for a relaxing weekend away.

Relaxing weekend away. We were able to totally switch off!
