Great place to stay

This is Comfortable, warm, spacious accommodation, and Beverly is a welcoming and friendly host.

Our hosts Beverley and Frank and Maddie the puppy were warm and welcoming. We had full use of the top floor of their house - fresh and new and clean. The view of the Strathbogie Range was breathtaking. Being so close to the Rail Trail Walking Track was a real bonus - walk or ride the whole 121kms if you have the energy. Bonnie Doon is off the beaten track and we really appreciated the quiet. Anna and Ken.

My friends and I had a great stay with Bev and Frank. The place was lovely and exactly what we needed :) We would definitely stay again

Bev made extra effort to get in touch and ensure our visit was terrific. A really lovely, quiet spot for a break. Great views.

We loved our stay at Beverley and Frank's place. It was very comfortable after our scenic walk in the area. We had a fun day up in the snow at Mt Buller with the grandsons, then relaxed in peace and quiet in our cosy upstairs "home away from home". Beverley and Frank were very friendly and helpful and we would recommend their place to anyone looking for a great stay.

It is certainly a pleasure to say how wonderful our stay at Bev's place. The living room, dining room and bedrooms were comfortable, the building well-maintained and quiet. All was spotlessly clean and the linens and towels generously supplied.

Bev and Frank are such amazing hosts and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a day trip to the snow to stay with Bev and Frank. They are both such lovely and accommodating people that go above and beyond to make your stay easy and effortless. Their space is amazing and has everything you need! Thanks again Bev and Frank we will definitely recommend to friends!

This is a very comfortable house with brilliant views. It is very secluded at the end of a long driveway. We were using it as a base to ski Mt Buller, which was about 1 hour 15 minutes away. We were there during a particularly cold period so it took a little while for the wood heater to warm the house each evening. Remembering to put the fan on improved the heat output significantly.

Beautiful spot and house with fantastic facilities. Views are amazing and lots of wildlife in the area. Highly recommend paradox views for a romantic retreat or a whole family get away.

Wonderful ! Amazing place , easy to find , fantastic view , everything available you could possible think you need !

Beautiful place. Lovely getaway.

A lovely remote property with stunning views of the hills, lake and local wildlife. The house was clean, well equipped and impressively well organised (power, heat and water) given its remote location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend for families and groups. Communication was friendly and timely, especially considering our last minute booking...thanks Daniele. Note: drivers of low ground clearance cars considering visiting this location might want to enquire about the condition of the road to the property prior to booking. Mansfield is great and the road through the hills to Eildon is well worth it!

Beautiful view and an extremely tranquil place. Perfect city detox.

We had a fantastic Easter weekend at Paradox Views. Lovely house in a beautiful location, stocked with everything you need for a couple of days away. We were lucky with the weather, I think the driveway could be a bit challenging for some vehicles after heavy rain! Also watch out for roo's crossing the track at dusk. Awesome views of the lake, great spot to watch the sun go down and have a few beers around the fire. would love to go again

Fantastic view, very secluded up a long driveway. Great place to stay with kids ours (6, 4 and 1.5) loved riding bikes around the house though some supervision is required with open water hole not far from the house.

It was nice experience of staying in Historical house. When we arrived, House was kept ready warm for our comfort and was very clean and tidy. We are impressed by the excellent service. And special thanks to Melanie.

Beautiful house and a great host! The house was clean, comfy and fun. Mel was so quick to get back to us with answers to any questions we had and was really helpful with tips and things to do and see! Will definitely be recommending this listing! :)

Excellent place for a weekend getaway!

What a great piece of Australian movie history. The house is kitschy with a few nice modern upgrades. Mel kept us well informed and the little treats were much appreciated. The fire kept us all toasty warm overnight and we enjoyed the games. In case you're not sure, the table game in the lounge is called Carrom. Took us ages to work out what it was but once we did we had great fun with it! Great spot to stay whether you're a fan of The Castle or not.

Amazing experience. Nice place to stay near the lake.

Amazing to be able to stay in the actual Castle house. Overlooking the lake and those magnificent power lines the smell of two stroke all combine to provide maximum serenity. Melanie had great communication and made our stay an absolute pleasure. Thanks!

What a fun weekend we had at the Castle! It was chilly when we went down in June, but was so toasty and cosy inside with the fire. We loved checking out the retro items and the memorabilia all throughout the house. The host has done an amazing job making references to even the most tiny details from the movie. The hillside scenery in this part of Victoria is beautiful. We also went to Mansfield Zoo about 25 mins away which was great too. We really appreciated Melanie's flexibility and the little touches on arrival (choccies!) Thanks, Melanie, for a wonderful trip!

Great chance to be a part of Australian film history. "The Castle" is very well preserved with all movie memorabilia well preserved and for the guests to see. The place is perfectly located across the lake and near some good hikes and trails. Overall we had an enjoyable stay.

Marly's place was great, convenient location to Mansfield, lovely home and surrounding area.

Outstanding

We had a lovely stay. The apartment was warm, comfortable and exactly as described. The scenery was amazing, and we enjoyed ourselves hanging out on the huge outdoor area watching the sunset. Marly was a great host, good to communicate with, and we throughly recommend staying here. We hope to come back during the snow season.

The house was wonderful and Marly was very helpful showing us around the house and making us feel at home. Would definitely want to come back for another holiday here!

We loved staying at Marly's beautiful farm property and appreciated her hospitality

We had a fantastic stay at Marly's. Marly was lovely and really helpful. The house was immaculate and very cozy. The stay was a lot warmer than I expected thanks to the heater throughout the house. It was amazing to wake up to all the bird sounds and the beautiful view of the farm. Our puppy had a wonderful time running freely on the patio for the first time. There wasn't wifi in the house but it was really for the best as we had great two nights spending time together and being away from all the hustle from the city. The drive from house to Mansfield was only about 10-15 minutes and it was a 30 minutes drive to mt. Buller/ mt. Stirling, which is really convenient and great value for the location. Overall Marly's is highly recommended. We look forward to going back again when we have a chance.

Marly made us feel so at home. The place was just as described. It was so relaxing, so clean. Exactly what we wanted.

Fantastic location, kid friendly. Made our Easter one to remember :-)

House has amazing views. Photos don't capture the view and surroundings it has. Myself and friends were really happy with our stay. My daughter (2 years) loved the house and was settled. House was clean and well equiped. Not that far to get to lake for a swim and paddle. Well definitely be going back again

We had a fantastic family holiday, enjoying all that was on offer locally. The house was immaculately presented, well equipped and the hosts are delightful.

Perfect family escape. And what sensational panoramic views! It really was located in a breathtaking environment. The house was incredibly well equipped with the essentials. Beds were all comfy. House was so clean. Fire place was perfect. Hosts were incredibly informative and helpful. Only regret was staying at this gorgeous location for such a short stay! Would definetly recommend for both adult groups or families with young ones.

Amazing house, massive space, clean rooms. Got everything you need in the house. Super comfy sofa. 1 million dollars view. Most importantly super nice hosts who really cared and helped us on the way. We will definitely, definitely revisit again. Thanks!

Great spot with lake access and amazing views. A lovely spacious house and outdoor area with everything you could need. Hassle free enjoyable experience.

180 degree views of beautiful Lake Eildon, kangaroos with joeys wandering around the property, clean well equiped house with many finishing touches, direct boat trailer access to the lake and friendly host Rina easy to deal with and great communication. Yes, we loved it and will definitely be back (if you'll have us)!

A wonderful holiday spot on the lake with great views and lovely nature and wildlife in the area. The house has plenty of space and is very tidy and clean. Hosts Rina and John are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended !

Stayed over night to appreciate the serenity and to cut the trip to Buller in half. Found the place to be welcoming and well maintained. Unfortunately didn't see the lake until we left the next morning, but certainly would recommend this place to fellow travellers.

Lovely big home. Just as the description depicted. Enjoyed our short stay as a base to visit Mt. Buller. Highly recommend.

大一点的地方有一个可爱的户外生活区。

Perfect

We had a great time and created a lot of memories at this place. All the arrangements were 10/10. Everything was superb.

10/10. The place is in a lovely lovation. Alison and Ray were extremely helpful and quick to respond to our messages. They also kindly allowed us to check in early which was so handy! The house was immaculate and very modern and clean. I couldnt flaw the house, id definitely stay again! Its a great distance from mount buller, the lake and mansfield!

This house and location was just beautiful. From the living room windows, we can see the lake directly and it just looks like a painting! The outdoor area had a lot of wild birds that visited and a fire pit which would be perfect for summer. The house is clean and well kept and had all the essentials we needed. Robyn was a very lovely host, she waited for us to arrive to guide us up the driveway and very fast to response to my messages and calls. Overall it was an amazing experience and I would love to visit again.

Great place, really enjoyed my stay for 2 nights. The place is exactly like the pictures.

Lovely cosy place to relax and enjoy the view. Beautiful place for the family and the dog as premise is securely fenced. We had one of the best NYE celebration. Thanks Robyn.

Robyns nest was a very lovely house. It was a perfect place to celebrate my birthday with friends. The views are spectacular and the jouse is cosy. Robyn is a very nice host and very welcoming.

Great place to stay! Nice & relaxing, Robyn was awesome to deal with

Robyn (and her dog Daisy :D) welcomed us warmly. The house was beautiful. Clean and well-maintained. But the view... absolutely stunning! Sipping tea at sunset whilst overlooking the lake and hills was a highlight. Morning breakfast while rosellas chirped over your head was another. And we loved the ever present kangaroos down the hill. :) Best bit was the stars... I've never seen so many in my life. Much better than staying in some motel by the road in town. PS: Amazing 4G reception (on optus). Was able to video chat flawlessly... and even stream netflix in HD

A very nice house. Well set up and very cosy. Robyn was very helpful and responsive.

Comfortable, cosy and clean house. The wood fired heater was great on the cold nights and there was heaps of room for a group of friends. Well resourced kitchen for cooking dinner and not too far from the ski fields. We all loved and had a fantastic time in the house.

Good place , but there is no lake behind the house as list at the photo

Amazing house & exceptionally clean! Amazing views, with everything you would ever need! Highly recommend!

My weekend on Serenity was amazing! Everything was perfect! When we got there the house was very clean and tidy exactly like in the pictures. Troy promptly replied all our questions and was very kind with us. I would highly recommend this house for any one that is looking for a good weekend in a nice and comfortable place. But now in July 2017, because we definitely will be there again! :D :D :D

The house is exactly as its described! Very warm and cozy once we got the fireplace going. The living area was very comfortable and spacious for a group of friends to unwind after a day at the snow. Had a fantastic time, Troy!

I'm very happy stay at serenity, it's very comfortable, the host is very quick to response our question. Thanks Troy

Great please set amongst the nature

Clean, nice and tidy

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is perfect, with beautiful open plan living and dining that is incredibly spacious and comfortable for large groups and families. The kitchen is really well stocked with great equipment and appliances all new and in great condition. The bedrooms are spacious and beds comfortable. The outdoor deck area and fire pit are absolute highlights and have spectacular views over the lake, the sunset from the property is absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and would happily stay again.

Photos do not do this house justice. The view from the property was beautiful and the house was extremely clean and catered to big groups. The location was secluded and exactly what we were looking for and we will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful home with awesome views

The perfect place for a relaxing weekend away!! The cabin has everything you need and we appreciated all the small touches. Take a walk around the property, the views from the hill are beautiful. Chris was a fantastic host and was around if we needed anything but also gave us our privacy. If you're looking for something to do Mount Samaria is about an hour drive, then its a short walk through the bush to Wild Dog Falls. Bonnie Doon Hotel is within walking distance form the cabin - you might want to ask about the courtesy bus on the way back. The only downfall is that I wish we could have stayed longer at Laura Lodge. We'll be back!

Brilliant spot for a weekend getaway to unplug, relax and unwind. Amazing views of the hills and the lake

We loved staying in the lake house. A cosy, warm and peaceful place to relax after a day on the mountain. We would definately stay here again. Thanks for having us!

Great location. We had a good time. The house is set up really well, comfortable and clean. Many hanks Dawn. Thanks for leaving the video The Castle out for us. We all enjoyed it.

Fantastic house and location exactly as described. Extremely helpfull host. Great fireplace for cold evenings, well appointed furnishings and good kitchen to just have some hearty family time whilst enjoying the views. Won't regret visiting.

Great location and beautiful house! There were so many musical instruments, we formed a band straight away! We didn't get to see Eileen but she had everything sorted before we got here. Had a great time and we will come back next winter!

Eileen was always concern about make us feel comfy and relax, the house is just beautiful. the place and view stunning. I'll call it The house of pianos. we could feel the spirit of the people in the house. art and knowledge everywhere (just like us) my son his friends just love it. playing around climbing the hill. Btw, the lamb leg was just delicious. I will recommend this house for families and someone looking for a place to relax and stay away of the city. Thanks Eileen

It was very good. Very warm and informative welcoming letter and even Easter eggs and bunnies. The house is well presented and has charming character. But the best feature is definitely the surrounding views. It is magnificent. All essentials were provided, even the leg of lamb. We had great time going fishing, walking around the hills and spending evenings next to the wood-fire heater in the lounge. Definitely recommend to visit.

My family and I were looking for a place to stay while we were skiing on Mt. Buller. Eileen was an incredible host, and from our first communication we could tell that our comfort/experience was a priority. Upon arriving at the property we were blown away by the grounds - just beautiful! My daughter got a kick out of the trampoline in front of the house. The home is quite spacious, and more than enough space to spread out and relax. If you're staying here during winter, I'd recommend getting the fire going early. Once we got the fire going, it heated the home up nicely and it was an incredible experience to sit around the fire, chat, sip wine, and laugh. If you're looking for a quite place, beautiful scenery, rustic setting, this is a great home! You'll definitely enjoy it!

The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. Very peaceful place. Mountain view was amazing. Eileen and Stan made us feel very welcomed. They kept the house warm before arrival. Nice big and beautiful house. Lot of space in backyard. If you are planning to get your pet, then this is a place to be. Thanks for everything Eileen and Stan

Stayed here for my birthday with 5 friends, plenty of space to relax and enjoy the household. It has a very homey feel to it which is what we enjoyed the most, fireplace is great after a full day at the snow. Didn't get to enjoy the outside areas unfortunately as we left early and came home late from Mt Buller so it was dark. It would have been great to have been able to utilise the space. Takes about 50mins from doorstep to the top of Mt Buller which is much better than paying double/triple on the mountain. Would definitely stay here again thanks alot Eileen.

Great location and a relaxing place

Great place, easy to get to. In a beautiful spot.

Wonderful home, just over an hour's drives from the slopes of Mount Buller. Wonderful to have such a cosy and clean place to stay, with a full kitchen and great open fire. Lovely to listen to the sounds of nature and watch the roo's in the field behind the house.

Amazing house!! Set back in the mountains its only a short drive to Mansfield. House was very clean and offered all the essentials for the stay. Loads of firewood and three little extras like butter, tea and chips/biscuits. Great place to stay with kids or with a group of friends. We hope we can come back again.

Nice and spacious house. Easily accommodated 6 adults and 2 infants. Loved the pool room. House was slightly cold initially but once the wood heating kicked on it was okay. Carry firelighters and match box. Plenty of wood was available when we checked in. But there is a shop in Bonnie Doon (just 7-8 min drive from the property) where you can get all this in case you need it. Lots of farm animals around nearby properties. Kids love it. Had a memorable stay and will come again in future. Cheers !!

Amazing place!

Fire place was amazing. Plenty of wood for entire weekend. All beds had electric blankets, and stay was really warm. Perfect place if want to relax away from city like life.

This was a glorious country escape with sweeping views of the lake and countryside. The outdoor fire pit, indoor log fire and emaculately clean property makes the stay so enjoyable. We basically stayed inside for two days it was so good. The furnishings and amenities provided were also well thought out. An easy drive to local attractions too.

My husband and I were looking for a beautiful, comfortable and scenic house in the country to take our 1 year old boy and both sets of grandparents as a thank you for all the babysitting they do. Lara's house was absolutely perfect! Being mid-winter we had the fire going all day, we ate lots, lounged on the couches, went for short walks and trips to nearby towns. I indulged in taking long baths in the evening and we all had such a relaxing time. Lara had set up the outdoor fireplace for us so we toasted marshmallows and roasted potatoes, the adults climbed up to the cubby house and we pointed out kangaroos for our little boy. There was everything we needed and the place was spotlessly clean. It was ridiculously comfortable and I can't wait until we can go back again!

What a beautiful stay!! The property is spectacular in every sense. Location, style and fitout. Lara was responsive and so easy to deal with. It was a weekend away for my birthday and there was a personal note welcoming us along with some breakfast necessities and a chocolate treat - not to mention the fire which was started making the place so welcoming and warm. The place is certainly loved and all the little details were considered. The linen was beautiful and we had little individual coloured soaps which was great with 4 different people sharing a bathroom. Plenty of firewood chopped for our use and we made good use of the board games. Boonie Doon pub was great for dinner and the Mansfield area is ace for exploring. We enjoyed lots of walks from the home. Perfect getaway for being active and relaxing!

We spent a long weekend at the Dry Creek Resort and the house felt like home to us. Surrounded by beautiful nature and tranquility, close to the bike trail and Mansfield/Bonnie Doon. House was very welcoming, clean and well equipped. Our kids enjoyed the cubby house, campfire and amazing outdoor space. You can watch kangaroos in the morning or evening and herds of white cocatooks in the sunrise. We loved the place and would certainly recommend it for family holiday or relaxing weekend. Host was very acommodating and responsive, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Thank you!

Lara was fantastic to deal with and we had a great stay at the house. Photos are accurate and the place was immaculate. Will definitely recommend to friends and may stay again :)

The house was beautifully fitted out, matching the serenity of the area perfectly. Our host provided us with a lovely breakfast hamper upon arrival, along with many little touches such as beautiful local soaps and shampoos in the bathrooms. The space provided many seating areas, for a very comfortable stay. The house had an amazing view with the most beautiful sunsets in the evenings. If I were to describe my ideal holiday location for summer or winter, this would be it! The tree house was a great addition also! We were close to Lake Eildon so plenty of areas to explore within walking distance. All in all, it was a fantastic stay and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday in a beautiful setting.

This is a stunning property and beautiful property, just perfect for a very relaxing weekend away. The beds are amazingly comfortable and the house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. Lara is a marvelous host and supplied us with gorgeous soaps and other bits for a fabulous weekend away. Thank you

If your scrolling through accomadation homes in the Bonnie Doon area, STOP right now. It has everything you could want and more. From the welcoming blue tongue we saw casually strolling across the driveway as we drove up to the home for the first time to the kangaroos in the evening just meters away. You will be left feeling very special and relaxing while you are there. We stayed for a week. Lake level was at 80%. Its a 5min drive to the Boonie Doon ramps and you can sit out on the back deck looking at the lake, its that close. The breeze you also get through the house is very refreshing. However they do have AC to cool you further. Bed linen was supplied, kitchen is well stocked and equiped to cook anything you like. Dishwasher easy to use and if your a coffee freak like us, this also supplied. Plenty of sitting space on the couches for families and enough different areas to go off and read a good book. There are far too many extras to list that were a suprise bonus. But the pictures do not lie, they are current and house is exactly like what is described. Proberly even better than you imagine. If you want a relaxing experience and a well thought out setting, then do yourself a favour. Book it. We will be back for sure.

Great location and a perfect view!!!! We all had an absolutely fantastic time. The house is just perfect!!! The kids were so busy exploring and fishing that they only came back when they were hungry or it got dark. We actually only left the house once!!! We will definately be coming back again soon.

This is a beautiful house in a great location. It looks out to the lake, and if you like water, you have easy access to it. The outdoor seating is ideal to gather around, light up the BBQ and play some games (provided by the host too!). If you are looking for some relaxing vacation, this is highly recommended.

A tastefully restored bungalow in a scenic high country setting. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for our family weekend away. The toys and games for the kids were a thoughtful touch. The cubby and neighboring cows were also big hits. Highly recommended!

A great place for a large group of people, the place was clean and tidy and has a wonderful view out the back. It made for a great long weekend of rest and relaxation!

A great place to stay with your loved ones. Surprised that such remote location having good cable TV & good WIFI at home. Home is clean & very well kept garden and surroundings. Everything else are great & value for money except buy your own drinking water; VERY slightly brownish tap water. Would recommend this home to others for a great chilling time.

Have stayed here for two nights with a group of five adults. The house is spacious and comfortable and has all you need to have a great time. In-and outdoor fireplace is great, especially during the colder seasons and the views are truly amazing. Mansfield is not too far away for your grocery shopping and communication with Lisa was great, providing plenty of information and always happy to answer any questions. We absolutely had an amazing time!!

The house is very warm and organised. The kids loved the swings and kangaroos in the yard. This is the best airbnb I've stayed in, in great part because Lisa is an excellent host

Just returned from the most wonderful property. Slept 6 adults really well, and the view is to die for. The stars at night were amazing, the tranquil setting by day world class, the outdoor fireplace amazing ambience . The home is loved and extremely well cared for and deserves the respect of guests to abide by the rules as it is one of a kind. Views from the living area and main bedroom breath-taking and many hours spent eating outside and just gazing at the view. For peace and quite and true Aussie country beauty, this home is wonderful. Great bird and wildlife around. 15 mins out from nearest shops driving on part dirt road so take all you need so you can stay without moving and enjoy the serenity. Thank you Lisa and Oliver regards Rosie

Lisa's place is a fabulous getaway, perfect for families needing some R and R

Lisa's place was absolutely fantastic. The view across Lake Eildon is stunning, and the outdoor patio and fireplace are an amazing place to take it all in over dinner or drinks. There was even a little kids playground that kept our little ones entertained for a long time. Indoors it is a lovely designed house, with excellent kitchen and living room and lots of places to sleep. All was very clean and functional. Lisa's guide and instructions are very clear and everything is very well organised. Providing firewood and BBQ gas is very kind too. And we were even greeted with a small basket of Easter eggs. It's a great launch pad for the wider area and the private lake access was very useful for us to launch our kayaks. Thanks for everything!
