A trip through history

Our cottage in Dunolly was very comfortable and suited our stay that involved a long weekend of events in the gold mining towns of the Loddon Shire.This is an area that is often left off the radar and am glad we had the opportunity to check it out.

My brother in law and I stayed at this little gem for two nights. Was exceptionally clean and comfortable and spacious. The two queen beds were a little firm but better than the alternative and would be good if there was WIFI. The owner was very accommodating when we had to change the nights due to personal reasons. I highly recommend this place for a stay or stop over - we will be back :-)

Cosy place with lovely town centre

We really enjoyed our week long holiday in Dunolly. Alicia was very responsive to any questions I had before and during our stay. The property has been tastefully renovated with lots of beautiful additions old and new to complement it's character. Our dog loved being with us chasing the butterflies and the backyard is huge. Our only grudge was all the burrs that clung to her fur and seemed to get in everywhere! The property is next to a silo and train track but we barely noticed. It had everything we needed and the town centre is only a few minutes away. The bakery is a must visit as is surrounding towns, forests and reservoirs.

Personal Review

The house is cozy with huge backyard. Love the atmosphere in the house. Things to improve to have, though, are: - additional fan in the second bedroom, especially on hot days. It was muggy in the second bedroom because of it. - there were condiments and kitchen necessities missing, i think. Things like salt and pepper, condiments (ketchup, etc). - there was no wifi available (I need to check if this was stated on the advertisement. The house is easy to spot, beautifully maintained, and has a nice bath tub.

Audrey’s in walking distance to the bakery

Millie (my dog) and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in beautiful Dunolly… although we may have gained weight visiting the fantastic Dunolly bakery. The cottage was much more spacious than I expected with a beautiful dining area and spacious lounge. The bath was amazing but did take some time to reach an adequate level but having a wine in the front veranda helped pass the time. Whilst the property backs on to the silos, they dont work weekends so was no issue. I loved the choice of having my morning coffee in the sun on the back patio or in the shade on the front veranda. It is on a main road with many trucks but I found that interesting to watch. Oh and before I forget… Dunolly has the most amazing hand spun wool shop with the owner so friendly and helpful. Overall a very enjoyable getaway
