The entry code to the room was incorrect, it was a 37 degree day, I had 2 children with me, could not contact the host, waited for hrs frustrated in the heat, eventually we realised the bathroom window was open and boosted my 7 year old son through the window. The room was absolutely filthy, I stay in budget hotels often for work, have been for 20 years, this is by far the most disgusting place I’ve ever stayed in, all other guest from the other 3 rooms where complaining, dust everywhere, spider webs, dirty grimy bathrooms, dirty dishes, beds hadn’t been cleaned, just an absolute nightmare . We will be requesting a full refund. Do yourself a favour, do not stay here.

Fridge was left untidy with a half drink bottle of milk. No basic amenities in bathroom. Spider wed around corners. Child’s bed was a couch made into a makeshift bed not an actual trundle. Also had to pay for this which is fine, but provide a proper single bed. 1/4 full hand soap.

I've previously stayed at these apartments. (Obviously a good sign) With kitchenette, and proximity to the Hunt Club (Bar & Restaurant) its ideal for short stays. A great alternative for accommodation , if you're not wanting to be on the mountain, but prefer to do other activities

Double bed was two singles pushed together which was hard and uncomfortable. Kitchen had limited crockery. Pots supplied and no cook top! Room had musky smell. Great view though.

Great off mountain accommodation
Gets the job done. Small but cosy. Kitchen is a bit bare bones and does not have a stove, so bring a portable gas or electric stovetop if you want to do any cooking. If you're looking for a place to stay off mountain for the skiing season, this is a great place to consider.

Perfectly cozy for a short stay
Such a perfectly handy place to stay - we were heading up to Mt Buller and all the accommodation on the mountain was sold out so this is a great alternative. Listening and looking at the river pass by under our cabin (no 4 at the back) was lovely. And the shower pressure was something I really wish I had in my own house ! It's also close to the mountain and right next door to The Hunt Club (which has good food and a great mulled wine) . We stayed during winter so didn't use the extra facilities -pool and tennis court but appreciate that they have them :)

Amazing place to stay
We had a great time at Dani’s place. The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. We stayed at timbertop, the view outside is amazing. 40 minutes driving to Mt Buller alpine resort which is convenient. Would absolutely recommend this place to stay.

Excellent base for day trips to Mt. Buller
We stayed at the Treetop studio and absolutely loved the place. The view from the room is amazing. The place is conveniently located in between Mansfield and Buller. Deni was a great host. Communication was super easy and prompt. We will definitely come back.
