Wal Wal Ridds Bushland Reserve Hotels

"Staying in an old passenger bus, beautifully renovated for accomodation. An absolute joy to wake up looking out the back window to see a flock of corellas, ducks, etc on a natural river. "

"Conveniently situated to National park walks. An outside table and chairs would have been nice to have"

"Was a nice place friendly staff and had want was needed "

"We had a great stay at the units. It was very clean, comfortable and cosy. The owner was very helpful and nice. The pool was our favourite and a perfect way to cool down in extreme heat. I loved that the property was so close to walking/riding tracks and there were plenty of bikes to choose from to go for a ride. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again. Thank you Jurek!😀"

"Great room (.#17) Stayed here several times - Rooms at rear are not noisy but front rooms are right next to the Highway and trucks pass all night. Light breakfast is an included bonus. Really comfortable premises and will stay here again "

"I enjoyed my stay here, I had driven for over 5 hours and was tired after a sightseeing tour of Bendigo. I booked last minute, but it was no hassle, check in was easy and the room itself was comfortable and roomy, powerful shower which was nice, and although next to the main highway through Stawell (where freight road trains rumble past) I couldn't hear them in my room and had an undisturbed sleep. I chatted to the owner who was polite, friendly and welcoming, and the room exceeded my expectations for the price - great value for money. I'd definitely stay here again. "

"Our group of friends had an unforgettable time at this forest house! The place is immaculate equipped with abundant facilities, all sorts of kitchen tools along with safety equipment. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Though the first night was a bit chilly, (even though our stay was during summer), Jim kindly came and taught us how to use the fireplace and prepared us with a lot of firewood. That truly was a very special experience for city residents like us. While chatting, Jim realised that we were planning to make pizza from scratch during our stay. He then generously brought a stone pizza plate and pizza peel, making our self-made pizza the highlight of our Christmas dinner. And the electric kitchen scale was definitely a key necessity, as we rarely find one in other holiday houses. We have to say, the owner of the house has prepared everything possible to make the place the feel like home to anyone who stays. Another favourite part of our stay was the variety of animal visitors we saw around the house. During the mealtimes, we had kangaroos, emus, deer, cockatoos and kookaburras wandering outside the house! We also had a mother bird sitting in her nest (a hanging straw basket prepared by the owner, how sweet!) hatching two eggs under her belly! We would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the owners of the house and would highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to enjoy a serene and relaxed place in the forest.
