Lovely property

Adele Tilley1st August 2023

Had a lovely weekend away staying at Viola. Exactly as described, quite but close to everything and very comfortable for a relaxing stay.

The most delightful cottage in Hepburn Springs

Matthew Haag27th February 2023

Viola is an idyllic property, perfectly located in the Hepburn Springs area with Daylesford a 5 minute drive away and the spa within metres. Perfectly set up for comfort and relaxation, with delightful touches and all amenities provided, from the spacious couches and open fireplace where you can snuggle up with your furry friend, to the beautiful deck and surrounding gardens and soothing sounds of nature, Viola guarantees the ultimate stress-breaker and we cannot recommend it highly enough!

Restful bush retreat

David Gilmour27th January 2023

Viola in Hepburn Springs was a delightful vintage house, beautifully and comfortably updated. My stay with my welcome puppy was very relaxing. The bush, the birds, the clear night sky, the whole ambience of the cottage and its setting provided a much appreciated rest.

So pleased to read that you had such a restful stay and your Puppy also had a great time. The cottage ambience is just lovely. And as you said the birdlife and the stunning night skies that the area provides is a bonus. We hope you can stay with us again in the future.

Beautiful!

We recently had a 3 night stay at Viola in Hepburn Springs. The cottage was absolutely lovely with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The heaters were on when we arrived as the weather was atrocious and we certainly appreciated the bottle of wine! The cottage is very close to the Hepburn Springs Bathhouse and gardens which we walked around with our dog. The cottage is extremely clean and well appointed for eating in. We loved our little mid week stay and would highly recommend.

Unfortunate Rodent infestation inside 😞 ruined our R&R

Jennifer Weinstein7th August 2022

Our first trip away since before C19. I didn’t expect to be disturbed by rodents and pay a premium of $321 per night for the privilege. Lounge & bedroom infested. We did not sleep all night; we were concerned about the mice and could not settle. Unable to use 2nd b/room charged full price. 1. A mice infestation deserves no stars 2. Owners response to mice infestation deserves minus stars <⭐️ We went up to Hepburn Springs for some much needed R&R and didn’t sleep because of the rodents.

4 relaxing nights

Graeme Barber25th July 2022

Lovely little cottage, quiet area, views of gardens and adjoining bushland. Easy walks into Hepburn Springs and into the bush. So, 5/5 so far. A small vacuum cleaner would be great, having a pet friendly cottage, it means a bit of dog hair around, we would like to have been able to clean it up.

Lovely little cottage

Hayley Williams4th July 2022

My family of 4 (plus fur baby) enjoyed a wonderful 2 nights at Viola. It was warm and cosy and the open fire was just gorgeous on a cold winters night. The cottage had everything we needed, beds comfy, shower amazing and our picnic hamper we’d ordered was there waiting on our arrival. We will be back! Thanks for having us :)

Casa Viola

Monica Romeo15th March 2022

Small but lovely cottage in a quiet secluded area. Feels like you are in the middle of nowhere yet Hepburn not too far away. The back deck is fabulous especially the friendly Magpies. If your dog has good recall the surrounding yard is good otherwise the smaller secure yard is fine for a short time. Nice hot shower too.

Thanks Monica for appreciating the closeness our little Viola has with Mother Nature. We love feeding the Maggies on the deck. And yes the shower is fabulous. We look forward to hosting you again.

Beautiful location

Beautiful location and so close to the local Hepburn day spas – Hepburn is a very relaxed and warm little town and the house suits its location perfectly! A fire all set up and ready to light made for a beautiful evening in when it was raining outside. Bed was amazingly comfortable and the house had everything we needed to love our stay!

I loved the attention to detail and quirky features

We spent four wonderful nights at Viola Cottage and had a wonderful time. We arrived with 2 dogs in tow ready for some R and R. I loved the attention to detail and all the quirky features of the cottage. I improved and extended myself by reading such a wide variety of literature on the bookshelves. It was like having a library! Not to mention all the DVDs. Every room was heated independently while the open fire in the lounge was provided with stacks of firewood, and more importantly, firestarters! No detail was overlooked, both inside and out. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect location with the house nestled amongst the trees

We absolutely loved our stay at Viola. The house was gorgeous and homely with all our tea coffee milk etc. Location was perfect and with the house nestled amongst the trees, we felt like we were in another world. So relaxing and peaceful. Thank you Troy and Brendan for creating such a beautiful experience.
