Apart from a couple of issues, being, not able to lock a couple of external doors, the rope around the wood heater door wouldn't staycin placecmaking it hard to close door securely & dangerous when hot. We did contact management & they assured this would be looked into... Minor things the girls picked up on was l, floors could have been cleaner & furniture dusted. Overall, a beautiful residence that we thoroughly enjoyed staying in. Thankyou!!!

Enjoyable 10acre property, easily accessed aswell as checking in and checking out procedure. Plenty to do and see. A home away from home. Relaxing, and very quiet. Great river frontage. Well away from the main road. Great for children. Adults also. Close to attractions and surrounding towns making this property the ideal base when day tripping. This was our second visit. We plan to visit again. Thanks for looking after us.

Beautiful calm house
The house is grand and beautiful, it keeps the cool and the heat. The view of the river is amazing. It accommodated 2 families well. Warnambool is close by with all its attractions. Allansford doesn't have mich in terms of eating out or walking tracks.

Hopkins River Homestead
My family had a great stay during Easter 2021. The Homestead is a great place for an Easter hunt. The property is very relaxing, and quiet. Plenty to do and see. We enjoyed fishing and swimming in the river. As well as plenty of walks both on the property itself and locally in the town (Allansford) where the homestead is located. We also enjoyed a night at Premier Speedway. The Speedway is literally 2 minutes drive from the property. We had a fabulous time and plan to return in the not too distant future.

Beautiful home
Very clean, quite location, warm beds and stand up fans provided for bedrooms when weather hot. Great Fire and plenty of wood for when weather turned cold. Able to dry clothes in front of fire very quickly. Plenty of reading material for range of interests. Boys found the treehouse and rope swing into river after advice from local plumber and spent 2 enjoyable afternoons playing with this. Suggest another nonstick egg flip for kitchen , and more pegs for laundry.

Christmas Visit
Perfect house for a rural retreat. Amazing setting with the river behind and nearby to the beach and towns for shops etc. House was clean and well equipped. Don't recommend the sofa bed though, it makes for an uncomfortable nights sleep! All the family loved it and had the best holiday, thanks to Rejuvenate for being helpful throughout.
