2 nights in Acacia Cottage were as good as we'd hoped. Have had this place on our list for years! Perfect location for time out-great deck area, sunset view amazing, alpacas & sheep at the front & cows to our right. Eggs from the hens were a nice bonus from our welcoming host. Well maintained gardens & great outdoor bbq area. Very clean, comfy & well appointed.Great spot to travel the Grand Ridge Road from.
We had such a lovely time staying here. Kate and Adrian are most hospitable and welcoming. We loved the location, with its incredible views and quiet countryside, yet close to places with hills, forests and beaches. The cottages are clean and well equipped, and the pool and animals are a bonus. A real treat, thank you!

My family and I love this place. We've been back 3 years running. Beautiful clean, modern self contained cottages and beautiful surrounds. Our girls love the pool. Great for a quiet getaway, away from the tourist hoards. Kate and Adrian are the most gracious, welcoming hosts. Very easy to deal with when booking and go out of their way to make sure you have all you need. Located not far from all the touristy places in the region. Can't recommend Maple Ridge cottages enough. A real not-so-hidden gem!!
We had a relaxing & peaceful holiday in the exceptionally well appointed Waratah cottage! We looked out over soothing, green rolling hills. The perfect getaway! Thank you Kate & Adrian for the break we yearned. Amanda & Max
Absolutely prefect for us in every way. Even in the rain we loved our stay, such was the level of detail and comfort! Stunning scenery, lovely animals on site and Hakea was so well equipped and designed inside with everything so tasteful. The grounds and pool were also a delight. We knew we were in for a treat when we drove through the gates of the property.We shall be coming again!Suzanne and Richard

Oh my goodness, Maple Ridge Cottages was sublime. Already checking my calendar for our next visit. Well appointed cottages with all kitchen amenties, beautiful linen and comfortable beds. We stayed for 3 nights in Calistemon Cottage and enjoyed the extra space. Fireplace, spa, electric blankets all provided but not needed as the weather was stunning so we enjoyed the pool instead. It was just what I needed to recharge my batteries in a beautiful part of the Gippsland Peninsula. Don't book just one cottage, take the family and book them all 🙂
We loved our time at Maple Ridge Cottages. Kate and Adrian were friendly and fantastic hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. They went the extra mile for us when we wanted to do a local activity which we appreciated. And they gave us good recommendations for local places to eat and drink. We loved the views, friendly sheep, fireplace and just sitting on the deck. Highly recommended 😊

We have really enjoyed our short stay here, wish it could be longer. It has been so relaxing and peaceful and everything is top quality. This really is an exceptional property you've put together here. We even loved the wind, there's nothing quite like being warm and cosy inside while the wind rages outside. We definitely plan to be return visitors. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us. Cheers, Tony & Kerry.
Our stay at Maple Ridge Cottages was amazing. The views were breathtaking and the accommodation was excellent. The hosts were excellent with communication.We will definitely be returning.

What can I say really you are better to experience it for yourself, located in picturesque countryside Kate and Adrian’s place is so warm and welcoming. If you want to take a walk around, sit and relax in front of the fire with a wine or sit on the balcony and take in the serenity of the rolling hills this was a great stay to just relax and unwind. Will be back definitely!

My wife and I stayed for three nights. The cottage (Acacia) was perfect for a couple. The room was clean and well furnished with every appliance you need to cook. Kate and Adrian were amazing hosts - friendly and welcoming. The views were amazing. There was a great atmosphere. The place is very central to various other places of interest- the beach, breweries, restaurants and cafes. Can’t recommend the place enough.

My wife and I could not fault our 3 night getaway at Maple Ridge Cottages.We stayed in the Calistemon Cottage and we were extremely pleased with the styling and cleanliness of the accomodations.Outside the view from the deck was amazing where were able to sit in the evening and watch the sunset.The serenity of the neat gardens with plenty of seating around the fire pit or under a tree near the pond to relax were also a feature.We swam each day in the pool with the water temperature just right.Location wise we found it to be the perfect place to venture to Leongatha, Mirboo North , Foster, Meeniyan and of course Wilson's PromThe bakery at Meeniyan is a must visit!Our hosts and Kate and Adrian were very friendly and helpful and we cannot speak highly enough of the amazing work that they have put into making the property a great place to stay.Looking forward to staying again in the future.
Absolutely beautiful, exceptionally clean with everything we needed, weather wasn't the best but didn't matter, we met Kate and Adrian and they are very nice people, pleasant to talk to and very helpful, we would definitely stay there again and we highly recommend anyone to stay there.
An absolutely wonderful place to stay.Waratah cottage is totally wheelchair accessible. Bathroom wheel in shower with fold down seat. Rails next to the toilet.Each cottage has two bedrooms ,two bathrooms,air conditioning,self catering with every concievable item you need.Dishwasher.A verandah overlooking the Gippland hills.A peaceful haven.

Kate & Adrian’s place is absolutely stunning. The cottage that we stayed in was perfect, including: a bath with jets, comfortable bed, cute kitchen, chilled lounge area (we did not use this much as the terrace was the place to be and watch their goats, sheep, llamas from). There’s a beautiful pond to read a book by, outdoor BBQ to make your best locally bought steak on and a pool to cool down on a hot day. The property has many nice thoughtful touches, is well taken care of and the cottage was superbly clean.Highly recommended stay and excellent overall experience.

I met Kate and Adrian at the start of this year when I stayed in a Calisteman Cottage, it hadn’t been long since they took over the property and I thought it was amazing back then.6 months later and wow what they have done with the place is a credit to themselves, professionally manicured lawns and gardens & beautifully maintained cottages.I have just spent the long weekend in Hakea Cottage and I honestly can’t pick a favourite, with the 360 views of the rolling hills and stunning sunsets it simply takes your breathe away.If you are looking for the ultimate relaxing weekend and private getaway l highly recommend, see you next year guys.

Great location with 1 and half hour drive from our house, surrounded with beautiful scenery, lots of greenry, the animals at the sight, beautiful cathedral designed anterior rooms and living area with fully equit kitchen and a beautiful big bathroom. Lots of scenic and picturesque places with in short distances. Very nice host. Highly recommended.

My partner and I had the most wonderful relaxing stay at Maple Ridge Cottages for 3 nights.The cottage was stunning and oh so homely with everything we needed (and so much more!). It was clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. And that’s just the inside! Outside, we had the luxury of walking through immaculately cared for gardens and being entertained by the sheep and alpacas. The pond was like an oasis, and my favourite part was the ducks nest/shelter in the middle of it! I was very envious of the trees, flowers and even the new veggie patch. Not to mention those breathtaking views!It was a slice of paradise and we can’t wait to come back and explore even more.Thank you for allowing us to share your slice of paradise with us!
One of the most beautiful places! So relaxing. Everything catered for. It was such an enjoyable peaceful stay was very sad to leave and cant wait to get back there!! Kate & Adrian are the perfect hosts!!

This was a wonderful and beautiful place to stay. Kate and Adrian were extremely welcoming and were very helpful with local knowledge of places to visit.The cottage was well equiped, very clean and bed was very comfortable and we had the most wonderful relaxing nights sleeps.The grounds and views were fantastic with beautiful sunsets & even the chickens were friendly. You can just stay and enjoy the cottage & the grounds without having to explore the local area, for a relaxing time away.We loved our stay and will definitely be back again.

Loved the setting - we arrived to late afternoon sunshine highlighting green rolling hills - just magic! The cottage is thoughtfully appointed with enough cooking equipment, luxury toiletries and a relaxing vibe throughout. Our plans to do more walking through the Wilsons Prom area evaporated as we relaxed into just sitting on the verandah taking in the peace and serenity of our home for a few days. We will have to come back again! Thanks to Adrian and Kate for making us feel so welcome.

We loved our stay. From the moment our bags hit the floor of Acacia Cottage we were in full relaxation mode. The provision of the hotplate was a great idea as we were able to make our own dinner and not have to worry about driving any further that evening.The wood fire was just the right size for the room and we slept blissfully: cosy, warm, and snug.Kate and Adrian are wonderful hosts and Kate was happy to talk Persian sheep with me and now I want one!Everything was just right and nothing marred our short stay. We will most definitely be back.

Thank you Adrian and Kate for making our stay a such memorable holiday. It is a beautiful setting and our cottage Acacia was ideal in terms of layout, comfort as well as the wood fire that we got going each day. Thanks to Adrian's wood delivery that was greatly appreciated. Great work in the short time that you have been there since October; the whole layout is ideal for anyone looking for a peaceful tranquil setting that is central to so many towns. Keep up the good work and thanks again.Kind regards, Bruce and Lisa Campbell
A wonderful experience in terms of the cleanliness of the place, the good reception, the availability of all the basic things and the cooperation of the owners of the cottage. The stay was very wonderful and will be repeated again.

From the time I booked with Kate to the day we left we felt very welcomed at these beautiful cottages. The cottages have EVERYTHING you will need for a very comfortable stay. Kate and her hubby have these cottages looking amazing. Lovely comfortable beds, pillows, luxury towels, selection of teas, hot chocolate, coffee pods etc. the views are so serene and peaceful overlooking valley with sheep and cows roaming. There is also a lovely pool and gardens. You are made to feel at home. I would put these cottages in a 5 star category of stays. Nice big fridge, cooker, dishwasher. We didn't use these facilities but they re there if you needed them. Air conditioners and fans to keep cottage cool and a lovely illusion gas log fire for a wintery night. Great for a quiet weekend or week away. We will be back. Thank you to both for a lovely 4 nights.

Thank you for a relaxing few days.

We just got back from an amazing 5 nights away at Maple Ridge Cottages. From the moment we arrived we were blown away by this property. The cottages are beautiful including the stunning bathroom with tub overlooking the hills, comfy beds and cleanliness at a high standard.The pool was perfect to play and relax and having the animals on the property is an added bonus. The kids had a great time.We highly recommend this property and Kate and Adrian made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We will be back for sure.

Maple Ridge is definitely one of the best places we’ve stayed in Australia! Keep reading for why!….If you are looking for somewhere picture perfect and beautiful to situate yourself in order to explore the surrounds or simply somewhere to relax, rejuvenate and laze around, this is definitely the place for you!The scenery, rolling hill views, pool, animals and cottages are just stunning. Our cottage was super clean and so well equipped (we even cooked a whole Christmas dinner in the kitchen during our stay!). The beds are SO comfortable - we slept so well during our stay. We enjoyed the use of the fire pit in the evening when it got cooler. The cottages allow for stunning sunset views, which we watched each night out on the deck with a drink in hand.Not only is the accommodation itself outstanding, the new owners, Kate and Adrian are such lovely, genuine people who are so accommodating, helpful, kind and generous. Kate gave us delicious fresh eggs from their chickens which was such a lovely touch. Unfortunately, we wallaby in Wilson’s Prom and they even offered to help us mend our bumper for the ride home!The animals and wildlife at Maple Ridge are wonderful. We were lucky enough to see koalas, eagles, and of course the farm animals and their super cute pets during our stay.We extended our stay which says enough in itself. We left feeling like we had truly relaxed and had some great R&R.We have already recommended this place to all of our friends, and we will definitely be returning to Maple Ridge Cottages!

When we arrived at Maple Ridge Cottages (previously Love Lanes Cottages), we were immediately greeted by friendly hosts, Kate and Adrian (new owners). Their exceptional attention to details, immediate rectification to any issues and continuous seeking for improvement have impressed us immensely. They made sure our 4-night stay was enjoyable and seamless, and at the same time maintained professional distance and respected our privacy.We stayed at Acacia cottage that had a beautiful feature of high ceiling, well-functional kitchen, spa-bath, fireplace, open-plan living space in an immaculate condition and cleanliness. Based on our experiences as frequent travelers domestically and internationally, this is a very rare find to be excellent in all aspects.The beautiful rolling hills, clear blue sky, fresh air and listening to the nature while sitting at the outdoor deck were so rejuvenating and refreshing. The location is accessible with short drive to surrounding major towns - Leongatha, Meeniyan, Foster etc. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already planned for our next trip at Maple Ridge Cottages again.A & A Foster

We stayed 2 nights there and absolutely beautiful valley view from our cottage which was premium with all modern facilities. Kate and her husband were lovely couple who welcomed us and were there for all our questions whether it’s about a free CD, PlayStation or nearby restaurants. Love to go there again.
My wife and I stayed here for the long weekend. It was a really pleasant and tranquil stay with wonderful views of rolling hills and grazing cattle. Really felt that we were in the country which I really enjoyed. Very clean. Friendly host. Would visit again.

An absolutely beautiful location and accomodation. Perfect place to stay with Family.Highly recommended.

Stayed for two nights at this amazing location. Stayed in the Orchard Cottage, which had uninterrupted views on two sides of the gorgeous countryside. Great place to sit on the balcony to watch the sun go down. The cottage was cosy but spacious and spotlessly clean. There is everything you need to self-cater, but we enjoyed exploring the surprising food options in Meeniyan, which was an easy 15 minute drive. Highly recommend this place for a quiet, peaceful, country escape.
A great place to relax for a few days away from large crowds. Great views, very friendly hosts, and cottages with all one needs. Would definitely go back again.
