Holiday Heights Cottage - Halls Gap, Grampians

Overall good place to stay in a great location. Curtain in the bathroom was broken and couldn't be shut properly outside was a fair land mine due to the huge number of bull ant nests (but that's nature for you!)

Lovely spot, lots of birds and kangaroos, no wifi a minor downside. Kitchen a little grubby in microwave and cupboards, otherwise cleanliness fine. Janet very helpful and lovely to deal with.

So much more than we expected, the pictures on the website do not do it justice. Would have rated 6 stars if that was possible. Location, Facilities and especially Overall Value surpassed our expectations. We and our overseas guests were delighted. Highly recommended.

House if beautiful and view from sitting room of pinnacle is unbeatable. However the mattress's in bedrooms do need replacing. They are average at best. The spa bath needs a clean as I tried to use it and dirt spilt out. This was one of the main reasons we booked this place so I was very disappointed. Other than that we would definitely consider staying here again.

have stayed 4 times at this house in last 10 years , the house is great has everything you need , location is good , but was disappointed this time as new houses have been built right next to , becoming like a suburban street.....

While it was lovely to have a vacant block alongside for so many years, as we do not own the block next door, we just have to accept what happens there. The two new units look very attractive in their own right, and since your departure Frank, the builders have placed a sight board alongside our boundary fence which blocks out the window on the closest new unit leaving the grand Grampians view available on all sides to enjoy from our property. So much to enjoy with the natural bushland, Mountain views all around, and the birds who visit on our verandah singing with their joyful melodies - a great retreat for those wishing to enjoy the Grampians National Park.

Bert Stasse
Lovely home in great location with plenty of wildlife. Only suggestion is to change the double beds to queen beds for couples, but manageable as is. Most enjoyable time.

Hi Bert - thank you for your kind comments after staying at Grampians Holiday Heights - it is good to know you had a most enjoyable time. When the two double beds need replacing we will consider your suggestion they be replaced with Queen size beds as we already have in main bedroom. Kind regards from Rita Butt.

Had a wonderful 4 nights in the middle of winter. Rain on the roof, winter mist/fog hiding then revealing the impressive mountains behind. A wonderful retreat after days waling in the Grampians. Great HOT shower. We had a wonderful stay. Thanks. Our only suggestion would be a gas BBQ for some totally awesome outdoor cooking. Thanks again.

This Property and surrounds was the real home away from home. All you needed is to bring your own food and drink and absolutly everything else was there right down to DVD movies and music CD's. Great location off the main road so very pleasant surroundings and close enough to all other activity type locations and services. Highly recommend this stay to anyone. Ken & Carol

The house was located about 1 km from the centre of town As such it was easy to walk into Halls Gap. The place was a good size for two couples, although with only one bathroom I would not have liked to use the third bedroom. That would have been too cramped. We had a great time, and would certainly use the property if and when we returned to that area.

So pleased you enjoyed the location of Holiday Heights which is in a lovely quiet area celebrated by the orchestra from the native birds who are so tame they sit on our verandah railing and unfortunately at times, the cockatoos eat our wooden outdoor furniture and parts of our railings! On many occasions we have had 3 couples stay who leave us not only with excellent feedback, but also come to visit us many times again which is very heart warming as we do our best to present the property in a very clean and welcoming condition at all times. We look forward to having you return in the future. Kind regards from Rita.

Craig Bartlett
Loved everything about our stay at Holiday Heights in the Grampians. The house was awesome with its raked ceilings, open living area and great views. A highlight every day was sitting on the balcony and having all the wild life, especially birds, come right up to you. We will definitely be back. We left with a lot of great new memories. Thanks

Lovely place, great walk into the village via the new foot path.Halls gap is lovely and so is the cottage. Couldn't work out how to work the gas heating and couldn't find instructions so the house was rather cold but at least there where lovely electric blankets on beds. Maybe update brochure box too.Overall I would recommend holiday heights as it is very quiet, secure and has lovely facilities. Thank you for the stay.

Dear Moira, Wish you had given us a phone call and we could have informed you that the A4 size Information Booklet was on the magazine table with the phone book. The large fan-forced gas space heater only needed the red button pushed to turn it on, and the reverse cycle air conditioner also only needed turning on - so sorry you endured the cold when two forms of heating were right at hand. Hope you come back again and experience the warmth of Holiday Heights. Kind regards from Rita.

Bruce Parnell
I loved the way everything worked properly. The heater was so good I had to turn it down after an hour, in one of the coldest weeks of the year. Took my bike and found to my delight a bike path just down the front. The house is simple but well designed. Great verandah around two sides to watch the kangaroos from and see the local birds on the verandah rail looking you in the eye. Of course no-one feeds them, they just like looking at humans! Great local food if you hunt for it. Butcher at Stawell had some of the best squab pigeons I've ever had: not to everyone's taste I know but they went well with the cold weather.

Dear Bruce, Thankyou so much for taking the time to give Holiday Heights such a favourable review. We do very much value your comments. It is often the simplest things that please us the most, like everything working in a rental Cottage, the convenient bike path, and the native flora & fauna, plus a comfortable place to relax and read a book while in the company of kangaroos enjoying their natural habitat - a chance to recoup your energies. That you took the time to discover these values also gives us much pleasure as well. Hope to have you back again! Kindest regards from Rita & Alan.

Had a wonderful time, lovely facilities. The wild birds that would feed out of our hands was a wonderful experience. Recommend to anyone. Will definately be back.

Australia

Monday, 27 Jul 2009 place

Management Response

Thankyou for taking the time to place a happy review on our website. Yes, the birds love visitors to feed them and are very hard to resist. We are told however, that it is better not to feed them in case they become dependent on hand-feeding and loose the knack for finding their own tucker! Doubt that will happen though as they are so smart. We are always happy to welcome our guests back again and it spurs us on to make sure everything is clean and comfortable for them. Kind regards from Rita.

Roma Williams
Had a great stay! Fantastic cottage in a great location not far from the centre of Halls Gap but far enough away to be private. The cottage was warm and clean, and the wildlife friendly (even if they did eay the outside antennae!). Will definately stay there again in the future.

Thankyou so much for your kind comments. As we only have the one Holiday rental Cottage we take the time to present it as clean and as comfortable as we can, keeping our maintenance up to date with everything working, including replacing furniture etc showing signs of wear. We really do appreciate it when our guests take the time to tell us how much they appreciate our efforts and comment on the loving holiday they had at "Holiday Heights"! Kind regards from Rita & Alan.

We think the only great disadvantage in returning to the same accommodation was that there was only one bathroom/toilet.

Australia

Saturday, 25 Apr 2009 place

Management Response

We find that the large majority of our guests keep on returning so must manage quite well with the one bathroom and the separate toilet room. I know that to book accommodation having two bathrooms and two separate toilets (eg five star accommodation) comes at a much greater cost. Suppose it comes down to how much guests are willing to pay whether they select a four star or five star holiday homes. We cater for guests wanting quiet, clean, spacious, very comfortable accomm having wonderful views, lots of bird life with kangaroos etc visiting.
