Everything about Honeyeater Cottage is wonderful! The location is private and secluded enough to feel like a gorgeous country escape, but it's still only a 10 minute drive into town to get supplies or dinner. Sandra is such a great host and really makes you feel welcome. I felt like I was at home almost immediately. It is a great location to base yourself in if you want to go out and see the surrounding area, we had such an easy time getting to all the places we wanted to visit. The cottage itself is lovely and homely. It had everything we needed and the fire and homemade muffins were the sweetest touch! I couldn't recommend this place enough to visit. Sandra really has mastered the art of the BnB.

Only that we didn’t stay longer.

Beautifully presented, every small detail was perfect. Can’t recommend this property enough. Sandra has made it the most relaxing peaceful getaway location.

There was nothing not to like

Everything about the place from entry to exit. Quiet, peaceful and away from everyone so that you can rest and relax and just get away from everything

We absolutely adored our weekend at Sandra's cottage! It was the perfect getaway amongst the countryside. The cottage was so cute and felt very homely. We LOVED Sandra's homemade sourdough bread and muffins. The provided breakfast was perfect! We enjoyed meeting all of their gorgeous rescue animals- including two ponies who loved pats. Our doggies loved their stay too! The fence was super secure so we didn't need to stress. We'll be back for sure!

Felt very homely and comfortable, loved the privacy and the views. A honeyeater actually did visit the bush at the front of the property! Lovely personal touches including fresh baked bread which we greatly enjoyed throughout the stay. Loved being able to watch the farm animals on the property. Often ate and relaxed on the balcony. Close to many good bushwalks.

No complaints. Everything was lovely.

Honey Eater cottage was absolutely delightful. The room was so cosy and beautifully appointed right down to special treats of home made bread and muffins. The fully fenced yard was perfect for our Border Collie who really loved exploring and seeing the animals especially the pony’s who came up to the fence each morning. The views from the balcony were wonderful. We do look forward to returning.

Nothing with the accommodation itself. Just that as it is located in rural area, should avoid arriving at the cottage at night.

Sandra is an excellent hostess. She knew that we would arrive late so gave us all sort of advices beforehand (eg beware of small animals on the road). We felt so warm when we found home made muffins waiting for us in the room after a long drive in the dark. The cottage is very comfortable with lovely decoration. We also enjoyed hanging around in Sandra's farm, feeding the ponies, goats and alpacas.

We could not think of any to be honest.

A nice and neat cottage with a lovely host, Sandra. Plenty of farm animals. The ponies would also respond to your greeting. The location is centre to everywhere, Seville, Healsville and everything. 10 minutes drive to the closest town. Sandra provided us breakfast with sourdough bread, croissants, milk, juice and condiments. She is also very welcoming and provides assistance when needed. We would love to go back again.

The cottage was beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable and sparkly clean. The hostess was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The balcony looked out over the farm property where there were very friendly ponies and goats. Beautiful birds visited regularly.

Nothing to write as we loved everything.

We loved everything about our stay. The owner has a very high standard. You can tell they put alot of effort into everything thing at the property. We loved that our dog had a very safe and secure stay. We also loved the effort that was given to the breakfast not just the normal boring breakfast items. Lots of attention to Homemade items. Made with love. And Really loved the garden..
