A town known for its share of contributions to the production and making of such movies as 'Mad Max', 'Ned Kelly' and as recently in October 2015 the set of a new series called 'Tomorrow when the war began'.

romantic getaway to the countryside, Crompton House will keep you romantically interested and feed your ideas.

Loved this place. Its a big house with a big backyard perfect for a getaway from the city life. 3 bedrooms which are quite big and well designed.
I have taken one point off because the beds were 2 single beds joined to make a kind bed topped up with a foam so you could actually feel the gap between the mattress. Also no wifi on the first day. When you pay $1000 for an accommodation you expect certain services.
Another minus point because the check out time was 12 pm. But the owner barged in with his crew at 10 am saying the check out was 10 am. It was clearly mentioned in our email 12 pm checkout. But he wasn't convinced and gave us unreasonable reasons. We felt rushed and got the feeling that we were being kicked out of the home.
