WINTER CAMP FIRES
Clear starry nights and the delight of stoking and warming, chatting and sharing around the crackle of your own camp fire. Truly a remarkable experience.

PEACE AND SILENCE
Astoria Park Cottage takes you back in time - a time when life was simple, the pace nice and slow and where an unusual peace pervades as the crowds of city life are left behind.

UNIQUELY AUSTRALIAN
Your accommodation is truly original Australian - early settler style in traditional corrugated iron, welcoming open kitchen/lounge with large wood fire. (Cooler months).

WINTER BEAUTY
A bubbling creek gurgles it's way past your cottage as it pours itself into two beautiful water features on it's way to Mt William Creek.

Beautiful location and Fantastic hosts

Deb and Jim are the perfect Hosts to their beautiful property with the Grampians as a backdrop. We arrived to freshly cooked bread, fresh eggs, fresh made chutney and tomatoes straight off the vine. The cottage is small but very clean and tidy and sufficient for all you need. If you are looking for a quiet getaway or even somewhere to stay close to Halls Gap, this property is the place to go. And I need to mention again how wonderful Deb and Jim are!

It is set on a large property with spectacular views. Deb and Jim were great hosts very friendly. The kids loved meeting the chickens :) We hope to be back again soon.

Pomonal Paradise

We loved our stay with Deb and Jim. The accommodation was simple, cosy and lacking nothing. Little touches like fresh bread and home made preserves and a roaring fire made us feel very welcome. Deb and Jim were so friendly and happy to show the boys around the farm. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely short stay! Ruth, Paul, Felix and Hugo

Beautiful hidden getaway

As we drove into the property we were greeted by the resident emu! It's a gorgeous part of the world and was just what our little family needed coming out of COVID lockdowns. It is an easy drive to Halls Gap and hiking trails through the Grampians. The cottage is well equipped and we were warm and comfortable. The hosts were lovely and welcoming. Stunning views and a great spot for star gazing too. We had a wonderful time.
