Guest Reviews

• Rochelle (10/5): Fabulous beautiful stay . Thank you - The sauna and location
• Jodi (9/5): We had a lovely stay and are happy to come back again. - It was cozy and warm in the container house with everything you needed for a weekend was there. The sauna and wildlife topped it off. It needs a good clean. There is grime in the kitchen blind rail for example.
• Daniel (8/5): -
• Yong (10/5): -
• Sayanti (9/5): -
• Sally (9/5): Overall great location and space - It was nice and quiet, host was very good with communication and the fore was already lit. TV was a bit hard to work out and channels very limited. Channels might have been limited due to remote area.
• Susan (8/5): - Neat and clean. No issues
• Briony (10/5): - We loved the set up and serenity of this property. It has everything you need to enjoy a lovely, peaceful time away. Nothing. We loved everything.
• Elizabeth (9/5): -
• Darrin (1/5): Cancelled with 4 hours notice. - We booked the Container House for a family Christmas break more than 2 months in advance. Once the booking was confirmed, we booked and prepaid activities in the area (including Christmas Eve dinner at a local restaurant). On Christmas Eve (4 hours before check-in) the property owner (Ben) called (with a very jolly tone in his voice) to cancel the booking! At first, we thought that this must be an ill-timed Christmas-themed joke - no room at the inn etc….. But no, Ben really was canceling the booking with 4 hours notice. When I tried express our disappointment and to explain that we would be losing 100s of dollars for prepaid activities, Ben inexplicably diverted the conversation to his apparently sprained ankle as he tried to elicit sympathy for himself! Ben persisted in trivializing the cancellation as a “mix-up” and blamed booking.com, who he said had made a double booking (which was not the case). Finally, Ben represented himself as a great guy as he said he might be able to arrange (off the booking.com site) alternative accommodation with unspecified amenities at an undisclosed location. In-keeping with the Christmas theme, we wondered if this alternative accommodation might be in a stables with three wise men stopping by…… Needless to say, we did not accept Ben’s “generous” offer. So, our long-planned family Christmas was ruined with significant cost. The only bright spot was that booking.com were great, immediately refunding the money paid to rent the Container House.
• Jackson (10/5): Very unique, but a very comfortable stay - Very unique, but a very comfortable stay N/A
• adam (10/5): Awesome escape location that delivers wonderful surprises - Fantastic natural bush escape location, bountiful wildlife, very comfortable, well set out container house, fitted out with 2 bathrooms, hosts provide so much of what cooks would need and the local pub, cafe and coffee roastery all do wonderful food within easy walking distance Nothing, it exceeded expectations for what it is by far
• Arthur (9/5): I was very pleased, great price for a great place. - Location was superb. Despite being close to neighbours, felt like a serene oasis. And close enough to towns to explore and get food. Great for a romantic weekend away or a family getaway. Cannot fault it
• Tara (9/5): - Lovely place for a weekend get away. NA
• Aaron (10/5): very nice place to stay.close to many attractions.enjoyed the wildlife roaming the property - clean and comfortable
• Clements (10/5): Incredible place, beautiful location, stunning hiking/trail walking. Serene, calm, replenishing stay - Amazing location, walkable to the main street, some hikes and gorgeous scenery and to the camp I was needing to get to everyday to support my son. A quiet spot, full of beautiful trees, gardens and serenity. The house had everything I needed, including a great set up to listen to music and the fire had been prepared to be lit easily, with wood easily accessible. A lovely note and some chocolate didn't go unnoticed! It was the perfect get away, to relax and restore, even though I was supporting my son to be on camp through the night at the house, he was able to be at camp all day and evening long, with me close by for any emergencies. Ben was an absolute legend at communicating! Would 100% recommend this to anyone needing a little solo time in the bush, or a girls weekend away from the chaos of the world! It was all so perfect. Plenty of room to spare as well for a family with a second room with bunks, and a second full bathroom. There was nothing I didn't like.
• Alana (9/5): Cosy Container Home - Stayed here over the weekend and we really liked: - The loop driveway so that you can easily drive in and out - Garden with flowers and green surroundings where plenty of native birds and ducks could be seen from the house - Comfy bed and clean bathrooms - Loved using the sauna and fireplace - Plenty of amenities in the house to use especially liked the record player and Xbox -The host Ben is very accommodating, easy to contact and friendly Some areas in the garden could do with some maintenance Pillows were a little bit low but not bad because there were a few available to use A few dusty spots in the house
• Ian (5/5): -

• Clifford (10/5): Excellent - We loved how there were like little hidden gems around the place. It was so spacious and loaded with extra towels. Linen. Blankets. A beautiful little gem getaway . My grandson is very picky and would usually want to leave 10 minutes after arrival but he loved this place. And didn't want to leave which was a relief to us. Will definitely be back. Thank you

• Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (9/5): Superb -
• Keely (8/5): Very good - My partner and I had a lovely stay at the Container House. The place itself is very comfortable, with all you need, and is a short walk to the two local cafes. We got up close to beautiful king parrots, which was pretty cool. We also really enjoyed listening to the collection of records provided. The place could have used a more thorough clean/topping up of soap dispensers etc.
• Simon (10/5): Great place to stay - Sensational place
• Kini (10/5): Thank you Ben - Has everything you need. NA
• Yong (10/5): Amazing experience - Everything was prefect! So happy with this cozy container house - equipped with everything we need, and host was lovely, always quick to respond to our message. I didn't think we will use the sauna house but we did! Really amazing experience at a cool night. We met a lot of animal friends - kangaroos in the courtyard, king parrot, and kookaburra etc. Our dog also had a lot of fun. Close to Lederberg & Wombat State Park, and easy to Daylesford too. We will definitely come back again! N/A
• Rachael (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claudette (9/5): Cosy, practical, peaceful and close to Garden of St. Earth for visitors. - Cosy, great to have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well as fireplace and a sauna. Lovely peaceful setting. Would definitely recommend and go back again! mattress in bunk beds not too comfortable.
• Lee (10/5): Exceptional - The area of Blackwood is very beautiful, quiet and peaceful. The wildlife coming to visit was most exciting. The house is of a very unique design and done beautifully. The Owner was most responsive to our enquiries and made our stay most enjoyable. Nothing that I can think of.
• Penny (10/5): Had an amazing stay, really enjoyed the amenities and the beautiful location -
• Karlena (10/5): A Serene & Magical Mini-Getaway @ The Container House in Blackwood - We absolutely loved our stay @ The Container House. Our favourite part was the serene location of the house nestled amongst beautiful trees. Right on the property we were visited by a kookaburra, wallabies with their joeys, king parrots and cockatoos. It was a delight for us and our daughter. It was wonderful having the sauna on hand to warm up at night after a day exploring; a perfect parents retreat too! The open fire kept the home cosy and warm and the home had a variety of other heating options as needed. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds comfortable; the fun bunks were a hit with our kid! Our daughter also loved the DVD options and she loved the record player; Beatles were on repeat with lots of dancing around the kitchen table. The container home itself offered a great sense of space with the central kitchen and we felt the home was cleverly designed and crafted. We were surprised and grateful to be left some coffee vouchers by Ben which we used up in the village. Blackwood has two coffee shops which was a lovely surprise; we were able to walk into the village twice! We found Blackwood to be a perfect location to visit other nearby towns and sights; we highly recommend a trip to the Blackwood mineral springs, Trentham Falls and Lerderderg National Park. Ben was friendly and so easy to communicate with. There was nothing we didn't like about our stay. It was a perfect weekend getaway. We will definitely be back and be telling our friends! Thank you Ben
• Melinda (10/5): We had a wonderful stay - I felt like I knew what I was walking into with the container house, as all of Ben’s reviews were great, so I just knew we’d have a great time. Honestly, the place was so much better than expected! Ben’s done a magnificent job creating the space and he’s used great quality materials and appliances to make the space comfortable, homely and warm. The abundance of firewood was a welcomed addition, as most air bnbs these days cheap out and give you just enough to last a few hours. Our son loved the Kangas and birdlife. We look forward to returning and seeing what Ben continues to do with the place. Thanks Ben! N/A
• Helen (9/5): Superb -
• Nerida (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kristy (8/5): Great getaway stay away from everything. - Great music record collection, fire place and comfy bed. Also great to take our Labrador along. Sauna wasn’t working unfortunately.
• Nerida (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chris (9/5): Beautiful, serene weekend getaway - Serene weekend getaway at the Container House. It is cosy and has everything we needed. Checking in was easy, with clear instructions from the host. We love the location, quiet and surrounded by greenery. At the same time, a short drive to Trentham. There is also a short trail close to the house (near the caravan park). Can't think of anything that we did not like. Probably too short of a stay. We will definitely be back the next time for a longer stay. Everything was great during our stay.
• Nerida (10/5): This is an exquisite, low key, relaxing spot to unwind. Host Ben is wonderful! He’s literally thought of everything you - Stunning location, cleverly and thoughtfully renovated shipping container house, wonderful bathrooms (plentiful hot water and amazing water pressure), cosy coonara, coffee machine, fabulous selection of ‘old school’ vinyl, tapes, dvd’s and capacity for Bluetooth. Short (stunning) walk to the main drag - and hours of entertainment watching the abundant bird life.
• Elisabeth (8/5): A lovely place for an Easter getaway - We like small and recycled! Good shower and good beds Not enough female artists in the record pile and no free to air tv.
• Patrick (9/5): Perfect spot for a weekend getaway! -
• Ann (8/5): Quiet and close to places we planned to go. - It was very comfortable and facilities were great. Plenty of condiments and bathroom needs. Ben kept us well informed and prompt with contact. We didn’t have any problems.
• Cressida (8/5): Very affordable and enjoyable 2 night stay with our dog. Ben was great with communication. - We loved the privacy and peaceful location. Also loved that we could bring our dog, Joey. He had a ball!
• Charlie (10/5): Great city escape - Great little property in Blackwood, great base to visit the local regional parks and towns. Well equip kitchen, hot showers, and a comfortable bed. Great bonus that you can bring your dog along too. Garden area could use a little TLC, no big deal though.
• Linda (8/5): Peaceful escape - Very quiet and peaceful area.
• Corinne (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! Our stay was perfect from the thoughtful snacks on the table to the space to hang out!
• Ketro (9/5): Great stay in container house - The location in Blackwood is wonderful. Lots of room in the container house. Ben had the wood fire going prior to our arrival. Beds comfy and hot water plentiful. Some instruction on TV access via the Xbox. But we worked it out after playing with it for a while.
• Wade (10/5): Exceptional -
