Great stay
We stayed for 5 days. It is a small place but with great function and really lovely outdoor areas. The hosts are lovely and everything was really clean. I didn’t feel I had to clean anything before We used it. It’s wonderfully dog proof which is good cause the chickens are free range a lot of the time. Which were wonderful. By

What a fantastic place for an overnight stopover
After travelling for many hours including delays with car issues we arrived quite late and were greeted warmly by Megan. The cottage was beautifully furnished with a lovely outdoor area that was completely enclosed - perfect for our little dog. The inclusion of breakfast provisions was a nice touch. Will definitely be back next year.

Extremely stressful
I was in town for a wedding, we were unable to find the property, contact the hosts, and had no way of communicating other than being sent to a website to send an online message. We had to urgently find a hotel to stay at so we didn't miss the wedding. I would highly, highly recommend for these people if this was real to send contact information let alone an address to find the property in the first place. I would like to be refunded as we never even stayed there and could have potentially missed the wedding if we had brought our dog with us. I had my information when I booked so I believe I should have been contacted.

Secure fenced yard for my dog. A covered deck for me to sit and enjoy the wildlife. Kitchen and bathroom equiped with everything I needed and more. Hosts supplied milk, bread and farm fresh eggs as well as an other basics to get started. Conveniently located near an IGA, bakery and hotel. This was my perfect retreat from the city!

Perfect place to stay
Was extremely happy with our accommodation. Just perfect traveling with 2 dogs. Nice fenced area around the cottage for the dogs and access to a bigger area once the gates were closed. Everything we needed and extras was supplied, will certainly book again next year. Thanks for having us Meagan , Mitch and Murphy.

Great weekend away
I came with my wife and 2yo dog and we had the best time at this property. It was close enough to everything we wanted to do and see around Bendigo, and importantly had enough open and contained space for our anxious dog to have a great time. Only down side is we wish we got to play with their dog more! Thanks again for having us 😀

The cottage was above our expectations. It was clean, tidy and welcoming, along with little added extras such as bread, milk and spreads for toast. There was no skimping on things such as tissues and we had everything we needed.

Beautiful stay at Huntly Cottage
Such a sweet place to stay! The fresh eggs, condiments, and neat and tidy kitchen were a pleasure to use. Our 9-month-old particularly loved seeing the chickens, rabbits, and roos that were about the place. Very cosy place. Would recommend. 👍👍

Staying at this property is a dream. It’s like being home, quality everything, little nicknaks everywhere . More than enough food for brekkie. And fresh eggs to die for from the chickens in the backyard. Heating turned on for our arrival.Perfect enclosure for our mini daschound.Chatting with Mitch and Meagan the Hosts. Just like talking to your neighbour. Really loved our stay. And will recommend it to anyone I know who will be staying in Bendigo.
