Just Beautiful

We loved our stay. Montanya is so well appointed with some beautiful treats generously provided. Thank you! The area is beautiful and the pool was great for an early summer swim. Wish we could stay even longer. We’ll definitely be booking again with wonderful host Vicky. So much more to explore in the area.

Home away from home

Staying at Montanya is the perfect family getaway. The kitchen has everything you need, the house is spacious for our family of 5 and the bedrooms are cosy and warm. Equipped with all the creature comforts of home, you won’t be disappointed. We have stayed multiple times for our annual ski trip and we will definitely be back!

A great, cozy mountain getaway

Probably the most comfortable, well stocked holiday house we have stayed in. Perfect for us and two young kids for our yearly ski trip. And the views are amazing. Perfect house to relax and cook in after a day at the slopes. The host is wonderful. We are looking to book again next year. Highly recommend

Fantastic stay at Montanya

We had such an enjoyable stay at this property. It suited our needs perfectly, being large enough for the family and nicely located not too far from Falls creek, so we could drive up each day. It was beautifully presented, particularly the kitchen/appliances and the bathrooms, everything was of high quality and worked well. The communication from Vicky the host was perfect, very helpful and she responded immediately whenever we had any questions. Can definitely recommend, particularly for families where older kids would love their own self-contained space in the pool house, separate from the main house. If we stay in this area again, we will definitely choose Montanya again.

Perfect Stay

Such a lovely place to base yourself for all the activities, walking/cycling etc in the area. Great contact and pre stay service and then it really was a home from home. All the kitchen equipment etc is of the highest order which is a huge bonus. Wonderful views all over and a beautiful meadow next door which contains probably every bird species known to man!!!!

The perfect home away from home.

From the moment we arrived, our whole group were making comments about how comfortable and homely this property felt. The house was absolutely stocked with everything you could ever need on a fun holiday, from cooking equipment, to games, to every great movie made, to ample linen, to beautiful location. And to top it all off, Vicky was excellent with communication. She was friendly and willing to help wherever she could. I will absolutely be staying here again. You won’t be disappointed.

Our stay with Montanya

Beautiful surroundings accompanied with wonderful accommodation. House was easy to access, little bit tricky with a larger vehicle pulling into the driveway, but very manageable. The house was just perfect for the four of us, a home away from home. Clean amenities, plenty of board games, amazing swimming pool, wonderful set up on the upper deck. The kitchen was set up so well we hardly needed to bring anything. Overall a perfect family getaway destination with plenty to do in the area for those who don’t want to blow their budget. Would highly recommend.

Home away from home! Cosy house with beautiful views!

From the time we made the booking to the end, the experience has been great! The house felt very homey as soon as we walked in! Bathroom and kitchen are newly renovated and have all you need to enjoy your stay (appliances are new, as well as other kitchen utensils, all your essentials such as spices, cooking oil, tea, etc. are available with a nice capsule coffee machine). There is a nice collection of books, DVDs as well as many toys for kids. For visitors with kids, the house also has a cot and a high chair - big bonus! The heating system worked really well and made the house warm in a very short period of time. Can't wait to come back during the summer to spend time by the pool :-) Thank you very much and looking forward to coming back next time!
