Karalilla is Beautiful

Our large family group of 9 found the property to be perfect for our needs. The cold weather wasn't a problem as the house had good heating with the fire lit for us on arrival and heaters in all bedrooms. The beds were very comfortable and the ensuites and bathroom more than adequate. We spent the days exploring the area, and the nights back at the house cooking our evening meal and enjoying our time together. It will be hard to find another house so wonderful and will judge them on how they compare to Karalilla. We will be back to visit again

Five friends stayed here. Stunning location. Renee was very helpful. Four bedrooms at the front of the house and a fifth in a curious location of the bathroom but perfectly fine. Kitchen has all you need for cooking. Recommend the Stanley Pub for foodies.

Spacious home great for large groups

We loved our stay at Karalilla homestead. The house was perfect for our large group (10 people), with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and a fantastically well appointed kitchen. The home has been beautifully restored and maintained and has a stunning outlook over the surrounding farmland and hills. The property owner Renee was always super-quick to respond to any of our questions and was very accomodating. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Karalilla Homestead Yacandandah

Our group of ten thoroughly enjoyed staying in this delightful property, weather was cold so the two fireplaces kept us warm & cosy. There was a problem with plumbing, but it was attended to promptly, also very happy with the fast response when we requested extra blankets. It was a pleasure to stay in this delightful home.

How's the Serenity!!!

This beautiful house and garden setting in an ideal valley location is just what you need for a relaxing break. We are a group of friends that get away regularly. We enjoyed the gorge walk in Yackadandah and the delights the town has to offer. Returned early afternoon to the house to relax by the fire and enjoy the beautiful vista and surrounds of this property. Kitchen is huge and well equipped. Well worth a visit.
