About Us

Your host Melissa Donegan moved to the country with her husband and two young children in 2003 for a complete "tree change" with a view to build a bed and breakfast cottage or three.  So far, just one has been built and the thoughts of additional cottages have changed, as it would take away the unique privacy that the property offers to its guests.

The challenge of a change from suburban life to rural living is ever exciting and rewarding.   Having built "Strath Valley View B & B" in 2006 a dream has been realised with the arrival of its first guests in January 2007.

What Our Guests Thought Of Their Stay

September 2009

Thank you so much Melissa & family. I'm sitting on the deck looking out across the everchanging landscape and it's hard to leave this beauty behind. Geoff and I have enjoyed everything about your cottage, the warmth of the fire, the fresh country produce, local wines and the serenity. We've taken hundreds of photo's that still don't capture the vastness of the area. We are so lucky to live in Victoria. Our stay has revitalized us and we will be back for more, even the walk to the top of the hill!!!

Thank you fo allowing us to stay in your lovely cottage. the view is spectacular by day and the stars at night seem so close you could reach out and touch them. It was great to sit and relax, while the kids loved the cubby and toys. It was lovely to get away as a family which we very seldom do. Thanks again. the bread was a lovely treat as were all of the other special touches.

What a wonderful way to start the year! The cottage is perfect - with everything imaginable provided..... quality soaps, nice cheese and breakfast, abundance of toys and games. We were very relaxed in the surroundings and the kids enjoyed feeding the horses (sorry they might have put on some weight this weekend). Thank you for your hospitality and we'll definately be coming back.
