- "Even though this property is quite close to Melbourne, it really feels like you're in a separate world once you drive up the hill away from Riddells Creek and get into the bush. The house is on a VERY quiet stretch of dirt road, and you're surrounded by beautiful bushland complete with kangaroos, echidnas and koalas (plus three lovely chooks that our girls fell in love with). The house itself was ideal for our family - the layout, facilities and views all came together to so completely relax us that we really didn't want to go anywhere else. Going for walks/runs/bike rides along the road (way from Riddells Creek) is also a highly recommended activity. Thanks Deb and Lyn for making us feel so welcome and for allowing us to stay in your wonderful house."
