I booked the 'Cottage in the Village' at Candlelight Cottages for two nights in 2009, one night for me and my bridesmaid the night before my wedding and used it as the venue for us girls to get ready on my wedding day, and the second night for me and my husband to come back to. It was completely divine,... More

Our stay in Candlelight Cottages has been excellent. A beautiful house - well equipped with everything you could think of - and so clean! We were lucky enough to be staying here for the hottest March night on record in Melbourne - and we slept wonderfully! The welcoming provisions could last you for a week and if you wanted to... More

We had celebrated our wedding anniversary at Clare cottage and it was just perfect. The location was exactly what we needed, which was peace and quiet together away from our two young kids. We had a lovely romantic dinner at a local restaurant and enjoyed the gourmet provisions left for us at the house for breakfast. The balcony over looking... More

Thank you for this fabulous review. It was totally our pleasure to have your beautiful family here to stay with us. Perhaps the girls will allow you to go out exploring a bit more on your next visit - maybe the Yarra Valley wineries?

Currently staying in the Twighlight cottage with my partner. This place has surpassed our expectations. Beautiful setting, quiet, remarkably clean, the cottage is so well stocked with bacon, eggs, sausages and meats, condiments, beautiful bread, coffee etc, and it's all included in the tariff! The mini bar has some great local beer (very nice!) and its not expensively priced. Bed... More

The Clare Cottage was lovely and exceeded my expectations. The house was warm, music was playing and a fire was prepared on our arrival. The spa bath was lovely for my fiancee and I. The breakfast provided was amazing and there was a lot to choose from. We will definitely be back.
