    Patchy mobile and GPS coverage. To be expected though.

    Wallhalla is a genuine old town experience with mostly heritage buildings buried in bushland. Complete remote bush getaway. The Cottage was 1871 built with enough mod cons to be comfortable but not totally at the expense of the "old charm". Really loved it! Unfortunately the power went out on the first night(regional outage) and wasn't forecast to be on for a while. Fiona was very reasonable and gave us a full refund on the 2nd night without any fuss.😊

    It was pitch black outside. A few more sensor solar lights would be good.

    We loved that it was pet friendly and we could bring our kitten along. On arrival we were surprised that there were so many antiques in the cottage and yet they are still pet friendly. Thankfully Cookie was the perfect respectful guest.

    It took awhile to heat up the whole cottage. We had to close off a few places (such as the small bedroom and bathroom) just so we could feel the warmth from the heater in the lounge room. It would’ve been fantastic to have a fully functional electric fire place. I’m surprised this is not to be used by guests?

    Walhalla is a lovely place to visit. The reason for our visit was so my partner and I could spend a day up in Mount Baw Baw. The cottage was very clean. The heater was turned on before our arrival so the place was just starting to get warm when we arrived. The wifi worked perfectly. A TV + most of the channels were available. Electric blankets were on all the beds, which was great. The bathroom has been renovated, which we appreciate. There is still a cottage feel to the place though! Tim tams and a small long life milk were placed in the fridge (love that for us!) Coffee sachets and sugar were available. We brought our own as we weren’t sure but if you’re reading this review before you stay here, don’t worry about bringing your own! My partner and I are both with Vodafone and we had reception in Walhalla. It’s 3G but full bars. In the property description, I noticed it only says Telstra (+ a few other small telecoms) are available in the area. You can add Vodafone to this list! :)

    A small investment in higher quality towels (a bit damp and worn) and bedding would significantly uplift an already great experience

    The blind on the outside bedroom door was broken & we had to jury rig a bath towel to not let any light in so we could sleep.

    The place was very historic including g the furniture. Loved that they kept it in period except for the bathroom which I appreciated being updated.

    The single bed could have been a bit more comfortable. I felt the springs whilst sitting up in bed.

    The location and the garden. There was everything one needed in the kitchen.It was very cosy in the lounge.comfortable big chairs and leather couch.The lighting was really lovely.cute lampshades.

    Unfortunately we lost power which was a pain but a suggestion would be to install a tap directly off the water tank so buckets of water can be obtained easily to use for flushing the toilets.

    The location was great

    We especially enjoyed the beautiful garden and the cottage-y feel of the property. A lovely trip down memory lane for two old ladies, but it may not appeal so much to younger folk.

    Our stay was not long enough to fit in a ride on the Walhalla railway.

    An idyllic location in a remote and historic area. It was very interesting to wander the streets, the tramline walk and learn about the history of this goldfield township and to take the gold mine tour.

    We just have to say that your property was wonderful to stay in but it had a very bad smell mainly in the lounge room but throughout. we thought it might have just been the smell of a cottage that is very old.

    mainly everything
