Lovely cottage

Lovely little cottage, nice location, short stroll down to the lake, and village. Heat pump did a good job in the middle of winter to heat the house, would just recommend curtains for all windows as unfortunately it lets the cold in a lot. Really quaint though, with everything you need. Will be back again in summer.

Tranquil and cute

Very quaint and cosy. The property sleeps 6; a double bed in each of the upstairs bedrooms and two single beds on the landing in between the rooms. This landing is open to steep stairs so I wouldn't put small children or sleepwalkers in those beds. Also, whomever sleeps there will be needing a torch and is likely to be disturbed by anyone coming and going from the bedrooms. With that in mind, the house is really lovely and comfortable. Beech trees full of birdsong all around and beautiful walks all around.

Great place for family

Good comfortable older style property with everything you need for a family holiday. Facilities basic not luxurious but fine for family with teens.

First visit to St. Arnaud

The Belmont cottage was a pleasant surprise. It has the location, a short stroll to the lake, and a cosy feel. You get the morning sun in the kitchen. You can actually sip your coffee while watching the sun rise over the St. Arnaud range. We enjoyed family time without WiFi too.

Great location, cute house

Such a sweet house in a great spot near town. Easy walk to the lodge and lake. Simple, but homely and comfortable, and the heat pump did a great job of warming downstairs. Would definitely stay again.

Boat show stay

Very nice bach. Just a note about the 2nd bed, mattress uncomfortable. One of the occupants with a bad back ended up sleeping in the single bed. Maybe time to upgrade?

Cute cottage

Cute cottage in a great location however is reliant on people cleaning the property when they leave, don’t think this gets checked as didn’t appear that this had been done. The property could use a good clean.
