We have stayed i Halls Gap twice a year for several years in various cabins eg caravan parks, log cabins etc. Having the house this time was the best option by a long way. Great to be in the bush and to be able to look out at the trees and bush. Very comfortable, spacious accommodation. We will be back!!

Very nice house in a natural setting. We went in winter and I was worried that it will get too cold in bedrooms, but it was pleasant and the blankets were enough to keep us warm. Great for a family get away.

Well maintained house on the edge of the National Park. but still close to the town centre. Quiet and private with everything needed for a great stay. Comfy bed and warm gas heater. Clear directions and instructions from host. Lovely to sit on the verandah in the afternoon and listen to the birds after a day walking in the Grampians.

When our original accomodation fell through due to the house being sold this was really the only 3 bedder available for the Easter weekend. Unfortunately the 3rd bedroom didn't have a wall (which we knew going in) which wasn't ideal. Other than that the property had everything that we needed, and was close enough to town.

Thank you for posting Yes that third bedroom is meant mainly for children, but at Easter in Halls Gap, people are generally glad to have a roof over their heads fro the four days. Pity about one of the beds being very wet by a grown up.

Sandy Barnes
Enjoyed the stay very much. Smoke alarm went off in the middle of the first night for no reason but easily dealt with. Couldn't get the oven to heat up properly, don't know why. But overall, we were very happy with the house.

Thank you Sandy Sorry to hear you had little problems, who knows why or when these little gremlins come to mess with our lives, there is no reason some times why these thing just happen. So glad you enjoyed your stay anyway.

We would love to stay here again. Two things which would have met own needs better: the third bedroom with the curtain, it would have been great with a wall and door. Also glad wrap and aluminium foil in the cupboard and pot mitts.

Australia

Tuesday, 08 Nov 2016 place

Management Response

Thank you for your comments Sonya Yes we would also love a door and wall, however this room will eventually become part of the kitchen, so it is on hold till funds can be finish to do the job. Pot mitts sounds very do able, but all other items are self catering, as they continually get stolen. We would love to have you stay again, as it was left so nice and clean.

The location is great. I have stayed in similar accommodation 4 times in the past 5 years in this location and will return to this location next year. The beds were very comfortable. The shower was not modern but clean and good after the days walks. The kitchen is warn and needs a renovation. Although I was warned, the designated second bedroom is very poor being a small living area converted to a bedroom with only a curtain as a wall separating it from the dining room, kitchen and lounge. I did not consider that privacy for my 20 y.o. daughter. The second bedroom is there but the door is locked and I suspect the owner is using it for storage. My daughter could see a bed in the locked bedroom. We were advised it was being renovated but how long does it take to renovate a bedroom, maybe 2 days to let the paint dry. Unfortunately we had poor weather and the BBQ is under an open carport and dirt driveway wind tunnel. It is not adequate for use if not good weather conditions. The shrubs need pruning to use the good U driveway to avoid scratching your car. The carport is good for a medium size car. OVer the previous years I have stayed in 2 & 3 bedroom houses presented better for $200 to $300 cheaper for a 5 day stay. I consider this home with some upgrading would be a good place to rent.

We are sorry we did not meet your expectations on this property. If only people would contact us to say what they needed, the small bedroom is only meant for children. If you had " asked us ", we could have unlocked the other bedroom for you, and your daughter would have had a nice queen size bedroom. We can do nothing about the horrible weather, we had had to endure for several months, so sorry about the exposed BBQ. The owner has done his best to update this property as quickly as possible, however it does take a bit of time. Sorry it was not to your taste.

We do keep a small selction at our office, if you had only asked while you were here, however we find most people bring their own DVD's and music to their liking. Thanks for commenting

Beautiful and tranquil spot just 20min walk away from the centre of Halls Gap. Masterbedroom had really comfy beds and curtains made the room very dark which is good for sleep ins. Plenty of Kitchen equipment, just no dishwasher. Very good aircon in the lounge area. Place has two proper bedrooms. The two single beds are located behind a curtain - just an info good to know. Would highly recommend staying there. We'll be back again for sure ☺

This house is beautifully located in a treed area in a quiet bu accessible part of Halls Gap. The 'third bedroom' was really a curtained off area from the living space so it would have been preferable for that to have been made clear in the promotional material. Overall though we really liked this house.

Really enjoyed our time at Cuesta. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I would definitely stay there again if we travel to the Grampians again

we loved the location & surrounds, you are literally surrounded by trees & wildlife and the large deck allows you to soak it all in. The house was very clean & the heating was very good. We found a few dishes that we not cleaned properly ie. Dirty fry pan & had to wash them ourselves before using them, I'm assuming from previous guests but a bit off putting. A couple of improvements would be a range hood, condensation was dripping back down off of the cupboards into our pots, the bathroom while clean is very outdated & a dishwasher would be nice but overall a very enjoyable relaxing stay in nature, we would definitely stay again :)

Had a beautiful time at Halls Gap. Fantastic location. Very, very clean house. Was impressed at how immaculate the kitchen & bathroom was considering its age! Everything was in perfect working order, kitchen, BBQ etc. Very comfortable beds, had an amazing sleep after long days hiking the glorious ranges. Great little getaway home. Loved the outdoor areas both back & front. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful house in the Gap. Would happily come back!

Other than cleanliness the most important needs for my husband and my self is a comfy bed (it was unbearably hard) my friend who spent one night there also commented how she was unable to sleep. regrettably we will still be searching for that illusive comfy bed for next easter at halls gap Regards Marilyn.

Monday, 05 May 2014 place

Management Response

We are sorry to hear that the bed was not up to your comfort standards, it is absolutely impossible to please every body with beds. Some people need firm beds for bad backs, others are used to very soft beds that one sinks into. In the hospitality industry we generally go for a commercial back support mattress. These beds are very new, perhaps they will soften with more use.

The best thing about the cottage was its location, If you are planning for drinks and bone fire then search is over. I am planning for another visit to Halls Gap very soon but with more friends this time, unfortunately won't be able to stay here as it can only accomodate 4 guests. Overall experience - Excellent.

You would also be most welcome to stay again, as you also left it with respect. Many thanks for your lovely comments

The accomodation was fantastically located. It did smell a little when we walked in so we had to air the place a bit. Also, it would be great if the place was sprayed for bugs beforehand and have a insect spray available in the cupboards. Other things that could be handy is a bottle of oil for cooking. But overall, we had an awesome weekend - Thank you!

Thank you for your comments. We try our best to have cottage smelling fresh before new arrivals, however it is very difficult to get cooking smells out of curtains and furnishings, when there has been heavy cooking going on by previous guests. Will take on board your comments about insect spray,although it does help if people keep screen doors closed. Thank you for taking time to post comment

We recently enjoyed a couple of nights at Cuesta Heights. It was very clean and had everthing you could want,even airconditioning which was great because we were there during the recent heatwave. It is located in a very peaceful bushland setting but is within easy walking distance to Halls Gap. The house was comfortably furnished and we thought was good value for money, even if the decor was a little outdated. We would suggest directions for operating the audio visual system would be handy as it took us a while to figure it out.
