About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect as a Falls Creek base camp. Pet friendly.

This is a older style original Mt Beauty house. It’s basic but well located near Snowfields of Falls Creek, Mountain bike and walking tracks are also nearby .

It has comfortable beds with electric blankets, a great location and decent kitchen for cooking after a day outdoors. Mt Beauty is a 42 min drive to falls Creek.

This house is great for people who like to be outdoors all day and come home for a good nights sleep. The house is basic so please don't come here expecting a day spa type holiday.
Mt Beauty has lots of bike trails, hiking and water activities to keep you busy. Close to Big Hill Mountain Bike Park.
The house has recently been re stumped and the garden is being re done. So the outside may look a little strange as the base boards are not on the bottom of the house yet. This is purely visual and is the last part of the process.
thank you for your understanding.

Unable to access the property or contact owner
We arrived at the property with instructions that the key would be in the letterbox. The property appeared to be derelict and abandoned. Waist high grass, paint peeling on the house, bent and broken fence. There was no key on the letterbox, just a bunch of final notice letters half eaten by snails. Phone number for owner was “unavailable”. Contacted Stayz, we are still awaiting a refund. Locals have since said that they would never recommend this property to anyone and after this experience, neither will we.

Complaint
Our stay was incredibly disappointing. Despite booking three nights, we only endured two due to the unpleasant conditions. The lack of cleanliness was evident, with no cleaning done since last guests, unmade beds, unchanged bedding, and a lack of hot water at night. Additionally, there were no general bins, and the toilet was blocked. I am writing to formally lodge a complaint and request a full refund for the dreadful experience we endured. I have taken photos as evidence of the unacceptable conditions. Please let me know if you require them.

The property is just as described. My husband said it was exactly like his Nan and Pop's home that he visited as a child. We even watched The Castle on VHS! Great location, walking distance to the shops. The home has everything you need for a base lodge to Falls Creek.

Nan & Pop’s Place - Mt Beauty
Great older style house but suited us fine. Warm enough for winter, good beds, satisfactory kitchen & bathroom. Great living area. More room & better facilities than staying on the Mountain. Mt Beauty such a nice place to get away to anytime if the year.

Ski week
It does not bother us being an older property, but being at the bottom of falls creek, there needed to be another clothes horse and heater to dry wet ski gear. Would have liked instructions for using video and dvd player, unfortunately fridge was not working, but we managed with esky and the freezer of fridge that was working, but these things can fail at any time. Felt it was a little overpriced for what else is around

Great location, close to town, basic facilities in house.
The house is all that is needed for a holiday. It's location is only a 5 minute walk to the centre of town. It is close to the Mountain Bike Park. House itself is as advertised; an old home but with all that is needed for a short stay.

Old style Mt Beauty experience
Wonderful stay at a traditional style Mt Beauty workers cottage. Excellent location less than 5 min walk from shops. Clean and comfy beds and well equipped older style holiday kitchen. Some may find it a bit hot during the day without air con. But Mt Beauty cools down at night. Good fenced yard for our Lab. We would stay here again.

only just an average stay
we were disappointed with the overall property, there were light sockets with either no lights or broken, the heating was only just able to warm one room (the lounge). The chairs in the lounge were uncomfortable and broken.
