Tophouse Mountainview Cottages

The cottage was basic, clean, with a very well equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom. There was a planned power cut for 7 hours in St Arnauds for the day we were there. It would have been helpful if the Hosts had been proactive and phoned us to let us know prior to our arriving, so we could have been better prepared , especially with food, for the day. The local general store was operating on Cash only,. No EFTPOS availalbe. We were very limited what we could purchase, for our day of tramping, The cottage has beautiful views over the mountain which can be appreciated from the deck. Taking into consideration of the moderate price of the accomodation, an upgrade of the out door furniture is recommended . An event in the history of the Hotel is well recorded in a folder in the cottage, and was also told to us by the Host, as I registered on arrival. Sensitivity, by the hosts, to the possibilty that guests may have had personal experience with similar tragedy is recommended, and suggest it not being the focus of registration when only just arriving.
