Thank you for supplying us with your beautiful cabin that is beautifully decorated and all the special touches made the night even more magical. We will definitely be back for anniversaries and other special occasions. We hope to stay for longer next time.”
“Thank you for a fantastic weekend away from the city. What a wonderful place. You have set it up perfectly for a romantic getaway. Even had the Moet on ice for our arrival waiting for us. We will come back again!!”
“What a wonderful relaxed atmosphere in delightfully attired suite!Once will not be enough!! A great weekend getaway so close to Melbourne, a secret we won’t keep to ourselves.”
“We love Belle Le Vie!! From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome & then truly impressed with the look & attention to detail of our Fleur De Lis Cottage. Belle Le Vie is so stunning & relaxing that I’m sure our other holiday destinations will be a let down. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels around the world & Belle Le Vie is a highlight for me! We don’t want to go home and will see you soon.”
“Belle Le Vie/ La Fleur De Lis – the name says it all! A Magical place with a magical experience. For a moment of time we experienced that Beautiful Life, just what Belle Le Vie is meant to be! Congratulations Carol & Frank. Well Done!”
“From the second we walked in…. sounds like an old song. Through the door our relaxing break began. The first thing you see is the tall gum trees, the lovely bush through the large windows. It was a stopper – beautiful! Then we took in the room and you knew you picked a winner. Your music also suited our cottage (Parisienne) and when you listen to the birds whistle and sing to one another was so beautiful. Even the kookaburras in the morning didn’t disturb us. Thank you for a lovely two nights and your fresh fruit plate was very refreshing – let’s not forget all the other treats.”
“Thank You for a very delightful stay. Carol was very warm & welcoming and the cottage was just perfect. Great attention to detail. There is not much better than waking up, all warm and cosy with the forest night outside your window. Perfect Stay!.”
“We recently stayed at this amazing bed & breakfast. The rooms were very luxurious. No expense has been spared in the cottages with quality fixtures throughout like chandeliers, espresso machine, large screen TV, iPod dock, spa and a comfortable bed. Wine & chocolates were supplied on arrival along with a french style breakfast hamper (french pastries & condiments) fresh fruit platter with yoghurt, cereal & juice. The views out the windows were simply stunning. The hosts Frank & Carol were so welcoming & accommodating which added that extra touch to our stay. We will be coming back & can’t recommend them highly enough to anyone wanting a weekend away.”
“Loved staying at Belle Le Vie last weekend. Carol & Frank made us feel very welcome. Purchased a voucher for our daughters birthday.Thanks for a great weekend.”
“We stayed two nights at Belle Le Vie, (Provincial Suite). Wow! Beautiful location, Presentation & Service. Breakfast was amazing! The Gas log fire & cd were on, when we arrived, adding a beautiful ambiance with great views. The owners have gone the extra mile, as far as the decoration and extras they provide. Fantastic place to totally unwind among the ferns & bird life. Best night sleep I’ve ever had, waking up with the resident bell birds. Gorgeous robes and great selection of Dvd’s to choose from. Have stayed in many B & B’s – this one shines! Hope to return soon.”
