Grampians Under the Stars ~ Heated Jacuzzi ~ Views

NadiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

lovely home located in a beautiful location and close to halls gap township. house was very well presented and very clean on arrival with high quality furnishings and fixtures. However we were also presented with several "house rules...and potential fines" during the booking process / on arrival that did make us feel a little more self conscious during our stay. The outside bbq is on the smaller side as well as the oven, so if you are planning on cooking for a large number (ie upto 10 guests) please bare this in mind. we also had an issue with the bedding configuration on arrival, which was unable to be rectified during our stay, but after requesting the extra bedding fee to be refunded, this was accommodated immediately. it is a beautiful home with stunning views, local wildlife visits and close to everything you need for a memorable holiday.

A freestanding white bathtub is positioned against a wooden accent wall, creating a calming focal point. Soft lighting highlights the contours of the tub, while a small lamp on a side table adds a gentle glow to the space.
