EXCELLENT Based on 13 reviews Matt1 October 2023Verified Our stay at Gumnut Cottage was wonderful. The cottage itself is beautiful, filled with amenities and games. The surrounding bush land is beautiful, you can sit outside on the deck and enjoy breakfast whilst looking at the view. The cabin was stocked with tea, coffee, biscuits and even food items for breakfast eg oats and pancake mix. We loved our relaxing stay and Mel was extremely helpful and friendly. We hope to be back soon! Vee27 September 2023Verified Beautiful place surrounded by nature. Incredibly helpful host, with amazing day trip suggestions. The place is filled with games, amenities, and the essentials for your stay. It was my first holiday in a while and was well worth it. Linda16 September 2023Verified Having not previously experienced tiny home living, we wondered what compromises (apart from space) might need to be made during our stay at Gumnut Cottage. It provided us all the comfort, style and cleanliness that we wish for in any size accommodation. The cottage includes a king size bed as well as a kitchen with a four gas burner cook top and an electric oven. While the space inside the cottage may be described as limited rather than tiny, there is plenty of space outside on a covered deck from which we admired the limitless views of the Great Dividing Range while surrounded by nature. In addition, Mel was the perfect host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Tayla10 September 2023Verified Mel’s place was incredible. The cottage itself is positioned perfectly so you have full privacy & breathtaking views of the property and mountains. The cottage was spotless, decorated so nicely and the bed is very comfy! Mel is a super host, she is so accomodating and had perfect communication through our entire stay. I couldn’t recommend this place more, I’ve never felt more relaxed and content staying at an air bnb before. Will absolutely be back! This is definitely the perfect spot for couples💜 Jamilah3 September 2023Verified Lovely and vibrant cottage. A lot of thought went into designing the space giving it a cozy and homey feeling. Loved playing with the animals and waking up to the fresh morning breeze with amazing views into the country side.Highly recommended 10/10.Mel and Tony were super accommodating and nice and they truly care about their guests and making sure everything is provided.It was surely a one-of-a-kind experience!

Sarah4 August 2023Verified The cottage was beautiful, clean and homely. The location was peaceful and the view was incredible. Mel made us feel welcome and right at home from the minute we arrived. She was delightful to deal with leading up to, during and after our stay. Mel left us with some suggested itineraries and had lots of local recommendations for food, which were indeed great places. Mikayla29 July 2023Verified The most beautiful accommodation in Gippsland. Had the most relaxing time at the cottage with the beautiful mountain views. The accommodation was extremely clean and everything was perfectly thought out, with all the little extra touches around the cottage to make our stay a 10/10. We enjoyed the warm and cosy cabin with the surrounding friendly farm animals.Above all Mel was a wonderful host who was kind and friendly and accommodated to all of our needs. Will definitely be returning in the near future and recommend to anyone who wants to relax with their loved one. Louise21 July 2023Verified It was an absolute delight staying at Gumnut Cottage. I have watched Mel and her team for the last three years, building this dream cottage, a hideaway nestled the foothills of the beautiful Gippsland region of regional Victoria. During that time, I was wishing that someday, I would have an opportunity to visit. My experience was memorable in all aspects & well exceeded my expectations. Mel's warmth stood out & the conversations we had before arrival, during & after staying at Gumnut, have made me feel incredibly special. Upon arrival, I was overwhelmed seeing the culmination of three year's planning & building Gumnut Cottage - such a beautiful place, & it was as if I was stepping into a home that had been recently featured in an upmarket House and Garden magazine! The cottage is exactly as Mel described it, & her attention to detail shines throughout. It was so homely & when I left, I had already started planning my next visit there.Truly a wonderful experience! Georgina17 July 2023Verified Highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back.A peaceful and tranquil retreat with jaw dropping scenery.It was a wonderful winter getaway (the host provided pancakes for breakfast!) and I can certainly envision returning in the warmer months too.
EXCELLENT Based on 4 reviews Emily9 August 202310Verified Beautiful accommodation, great views and a lovely host! ☺ The accommodation was beautiful and very clean, with everything you need for your stay! We really enjoyed having an indoor fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The accommodation has great views and is only a short drive to nearby attractions. Mel made the whole experience seamless from the moment we booked and provided lots of information on things to see and do in the local area. We also loved meeting the all the animals on the property! ☹ Everything was great! No complaints at all.

We stayed there just after the Gippsland floods and Mel kept us up to date on any issues or road closures. We will be back again.

Jack Leithhead6 July 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My girlfriend and I had the most amazing stay at this beautiful property! The cabin was stunning- not only was it immaculately clean and organised, it had a lovely cozy and relaxed feel to it- ideal for a country escape. The cabin also provided picturesque views, the mountains were so mesmerising- we did not want to leave!! The location is also perfect too- just a short drive to some awesome towns like Maffra and Heyfield, we loved exploring them. Would especially recommend making the trip to Walhalla, a beautiful old country town with heaps to do (we rode on the railway- an awesome ride that takes you through the mountains, the views were incredible). Not to mention Mel was the most amazing and loveliest host you could ask for, she truly went above and beyond to make our stay so memorable. In summary, this cabin is the PERFECT country escape!!! We were so sad to leave, and will most definitely be back soon. Thank you Mel for having us, we appreciate everything you did to make our stay so enjoyable! Jay Patel2 July 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My recent stay at Gumnut Cottage in Gippsland was an absolute delight! The cottage itself was very pretty with cozy furnishings. Mel has paid attention to every detail, ensuring that guests feel comfortable and at home during their stay. The well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, and a crackling fireplace added to the overall cozy ambiance of the place. As soon as we stepped out onto the cottage's veranda, there is breathtaking views of the lush greenery and hills. I would highly recommend Gumnut Cottage to anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway surrounded by nature's amazing views.
