Guest Reviews

James (10/5): - Wow! This place is amazing, especially if you love animals. The hosts are very friendly and let us feed the baby kangaroo. My daughter had so much fun
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great to see some normally very hard to c native animals like frogmouths.
Verified traveler (8/5): - We stayed in the King Room - the bedroom was lovely and the bed really comfy, the bathroom was great, the kitchenette offers basics - no cooking facility/bbq except microwave (we brought sausages for dinner, oops!) but does have kettle and toaster. However the adjoining room means there is no privacy, our neighbours arrived at 10.40pm on a Monday night which woke us up and then kept us awake as we could hear their conversations, walking around their rooms, showers, I swear I even heard the creak of their bed as they sat down! The animals and night tour are fantastic (perhaps best suited for school aged kids as there’s a lot of things around that they can’t touch), we will return but will book the family unit so we have a bbq and no next door neighbours. The hosts were friendly from a distance. My daughter would have loved an area she could play freely in.
Verified traveler (10/5): - If you love animals, you must stay at this B&B (there’s 450 to see and are very well looked after). Loo and Steve were excellent hosts and the nocturnal tour was the highlight. To be able to pat dingoes and sugar gliders is a unique experience. Also to be able to watch some of the animals on camera from your in-room live view screen was so cool. The Kings room was perfect for a couple; the bed was comfy, the bathroom large with a heater and it had a separate lounge & kitchenette. Don’t expect a cooked breakfast but we were happy with what was provided (even though we didn’t eat brekky coz we weren’t hungry). We can’t wait to come back as I’m sure the hard working Loo & Steve will have added to their menagerie by then.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely place accommodation was great clean and tidy. The only thing we could fault was parking
Verified traveler (10/5): - Nochternal zoo tour at 8pm was interesting. The property itself is very unique and well worth a visit.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very homely, rustic and an extremely relaxed atmosphere without the need of fake perfection and toffiness found at "high class" motels. This place is a true get away to unwind without unnecessary airs and flairs. 10 out of 10.
Trevor (8/5): Very nice stay - I booked in at Twist of Willow as we were attending a wedding just up the road. It is a very interesting establishment as the rooms are in the middle of a farm-like environment. Unfortunately, our time was limited so we were not able to walk the area and check out the animals, except for those adjacent to the path from the parking space to the room. We booked the King Room which had heaps of space and was very comfortable. A very interesting aspect was that there was a Nocturnal Animal Channel where you could view those animals on a screen in the bedroom. The only negative comment I can make is that one of the guests in the Queen Room next door was talking quite loud and kept my wife awake until they went to bed about 2.00 am. Otherwise, it was a very good stay.
Verified traveler (8/5): - Such a great experience and relaxing stay! Thanks Lou x
Verified traveler (8/5): - Would recommend. Great atmosphere. Animals are well looked after. Accommodation is comfortable and the spa is great. Would recommend. The only feedback is that you can hear the people next door so it doesn't feel completely private.
Verified traveler (10/5): - A true experience. 5 stars. Great facilities, fantastic hosts and a great surprise of a private zoo!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Property doubles as a nocturnal zoo. Really special. Lou and Steve are very gracious and informative hosts. Unique place !!!
Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff were the best, friendly, happy and the property is just beautiful. Well worth a stay if you like Australian Wildlife. Make sure you stay for more than a night!! You will be pleasantly surprised by the treasures within this property. Not just a B&B, it's much more. Kids will love it too...
Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a really unique spot since there is a private zoo on the premises. Room was super. Just loved everything about this place. Regret that we could not have stayed longer
Verified traveler (10/5): - Clean and comfortable cabin / room. Steve and Louise are welcoming, helpful and friendly. The opportunity to be able to walk around the grounds and enjoy the animals is fun and the night time tours of the nocturnal animal enclosures with the invitation to get up close, are a spectacular bonus.
Liz (8/5): - A very interesting place would like to spend more than one night there.
Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic Experience - This is the greatest place. What an awesome experience to the night time tour to the facilities of the room. Steve and Loo are fantastic hosts. The live tv feed of the nocturnal animals is amazing. Didn’t want to leave.
Jason (10/5): - Simply amazing, private, sociable and restful. Only regret is not booking a longer stay. Self taught, and hard working. Privilege was all ours.
Elias (10/5): - Steve, Loo, and family where the nicest people. The King room was clean, and had everything required. The night tour was so much fun. A very peaceful and relaxing environment. I highly recommend everyone to stay at this wonderful place. Hope you liked the photos.
Lisa (10/5): Peaceful place near Dandenong Ranges - Lovely and quiet stay with lots of animals and a nocturnal tv to watch their evening antics! We stayed in the king room which was clean and comfortable. Right on the doorstep of the Dandenong Ranges, this is definitely somewhere I would stay again. Thanks Loo and Steve for your hospitality!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very comfortable, clean accommodation. Lovely welcome from Loo. Excellent location. Very relaxing and just what we needed!!
steve (10/5): Zookeeper in training - What a great way to unwind, stroll around the zoo to take in the animals, would be great in summer with the pool , the night time tour feeding the animals with Steve was great & very informative: both Steve & loo were fantastic hosts , was expecting the animals too be noisy but didn’t hear a sound during the night & had a great sleep, the accomadation was very spacious,comfortable,clean , the complimentary breakfast was appreciated, was a nice drive to puffing Billy & wasn’t far away , Could of stayed longer but will definitely return Thanks Steve & loo for your great hospitality
Peter (8/5): - Wonderful host who made us very welcome at short notice. We enjoyed watching the nocturnal animal channel. The room was spacious and comfortable with good ventilation and excellent bathroom.
Samantha (10/5): Awsome get away - Highly recommended for a weekend away. Beautiful rooms and property and opportunity to get up close and personal with the animals. Really friendly hosts. So close to many attractions in the Dandenongs

Wendy (10/5): Fabulous accommodation and animal zoo - Hosts very friendly, a great set up with lots of animals, lovely pool area and well designed rooms. Dinog pups very cute!
Tracey (10/5): Awesome experience! - The hosts were great. We arrived late and were shown around the zoo with the park to ourselves. We got to play with baby dingoes, sugar gliders, kangaroos amoung other things. The room was comfortable, clean and roomy. We loved the night cam footage. We had a walk through the park again during daylight the following morning. As animal lovers, we couldn't imagine a better place to stay. Thank you so much.
Malcolm (10/5): Relaxing getaway with a Zoo - Great place for couples with or without kids or even groups. There’s rooms with a spa and a lodge for up to 8 people. It’s set on several acres with lots of native animals and a tour at dusk lead by the hosts, Loo and Steve. I got to hold a snake and we all had sugar gliders jumping on us. Wombats, Roos, Geese, Emus, Dingos and Potaroos plus more. Lovely break from the city, we’ll be back and highly recommending it to our friends.
Lena (10/5): Nice place, have the soothing country feeling - The hostess was very helpful and personable, and facilities are great for the purpose of my stay. I will definitely be back there at some point soon
Matt & Britt (10/5): Very peaceful, relaxing stay. - So many interesting animals, if you love animals it's the perfect place to go. The staff were very warm and welcoming and I didn't want to leave. We definitely will be back. Thank you for having us. Matt & Britt
Verified traveler (10/5): - Very relaxing and owners made you feel at home. Feeding the animals was a great experience. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Keith (8/5): Quiet and comfortable - Only stayed one night but it was great to get away from the normal motel type room. Spacious with a good kitchen/dining area. The bed was very comfortable and the host very friendly. Thank you
brenda (8/5): Something a little different - Loo and Steve are wonderful hosts. Animals are fabulous and able to feed them and pat them was great. Would have liked an open fire in unit but everything else was beautiful. Loved the rustic feel.
luisa (8/5): Really pleasant place 2 stay - A rustic experience with all the mod cons. I really enjoyed my stay. I had a lovely spa bath and great setting overlooking the lemon orchards. The lovely host loo said to help myself to the lemons. I took a bag home with me. This couple is quite passionate about their place and their animals and take delight in sharing the feeding of their animals with you. They have even gone to the extent of fixing infrared tv screens in the rooms so u can watch the nocturnal animals in your bed at night!!! Not quite up and running yet but another extent of sharing their animals with u for a different experience.
Verified traveler (10/5): - I had a great stay in a quiet location, with a comfy room and an exceptional menagerie of animals on site that made the stay something special. Steve and Loo were very hospitable hosts
Tim (10/5): Unique setting - Great to have a mini-zoo just outside the door - quite unique Price very reasonable and close to best tourist areas
Vladimir (10/5): Animal Sanctuary! - If you want to be surrounded by native Australian animals, this is the place for you! Comfortable rooms, friendly owners, and very close to the wineries and everything else Yarra Valley related. Highly recommended!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Loved the atmosphere , the friendliness of the people and the interaction with their menagerie of animals. Also their vision of the future and how they like to bring disadvantage people from the community to experience their lifestyle
Verified traveler (8/5): An unexpected farm stay! - An unexpected farm stay when we booked very late and expecting a motel! What a delight to meet the owner and go with her at animals feeding time - emus, wallabies, kangaroos, ponies etc Pleasant accommodation in a nice, natural farm setting
Brian (10/5): Cosy & Comfortable Cottage - The owners were friendly and showed us around the property. They took their time to introduce us to their animals and we had a great time. Would definitely recommend. The cabin was private and had most things you need.
Mazzy (10/5): Peaceful and relaxing - Came in for a wedding and were very impressed with the whole experience. Staff were friendly, helpful and generous which we very much appreciated.
Angie (10/5): A hotel and attraction - The staff were very lovely, going out of their way to provide an interactive experience with the animals surrounding the hotel. The rooms were cute, comfy and fit the theme well. We spent a few hours admiring the animals and talking with the friendly staff and our overnight stay was comfortable. Overall, we were very pleased.
David (10/5): Unique and relaxing - Such an amazing place and welcoming hosts. Enjoyed an introduction to all the animals, even got to pet the Emu. Self-contained and private, the room was extremely comfortable.
Darren (10/5): Comfortable accomodation with character - The host, Lou and her family were very friendly and were happy to spend time showing us all the amazing animals they have on their little farm. The accommodation was very comfortable and full of character which we totally loved. Location was perfect for visiting all the little towns in the area but so much more affordable.
Lyn (10/5): Peaceful - What a terrific place to stay, peace and quiet. We'd driven along way, so it was great to be able to walk around the small farm and help feed and touch the animals. Children would have a great holiday here.
Gail and Phil (8/5): Something a bit out of the ordinary - We really enjoyed our stay at Twist Of Willow. Steven and Loo have great passion for the property and have done a great job to create a very flexible group of rooms to suit couples or the largest family groups. The facilities are terrific and the animals add another dimension to the stay. Would have liked to extend our stay.
Nathan (10/5): Simply Amazing! - Really great place to stay! Loo is so friendly and so are the animals!! Keep up the great work, My partner and I plan to be back soon!!!
