Copeland House

We came looking for a break away to recuperate and found the perfect place. Mel and Justin are the consummate hosts. Affable and helpful but not in your face. They have both worked hard on the property and gardens, which are delightful and I pray they get rain very soon. The rooms are well appointed and the outside breakout areas (with fire pits) are lovely spaces to explore. The shower pressure is not great but you are on tank water and in the country. And just a heads up, the walls are a little thin so if you prefer not to hear your neighbour (or to be heard) then try for the Manning Suite. No morning sun but more privacy. We had the Cobark suite and breakfast on the verandah was perfect. And my! What a breakfast! The porridge was perfect! Nights were chilly but we had convivial chats with our neighbours around the fire pits. BYO marshmallows and Mel can provide the toasting forks….. For us , the fact that you could eat in every night was fantastic. Mel is an excellent cook and the potions are large enough to keep leftovers for a picnic lunch the next day. Seriously, don’t bother with the 30 minute round trip to Gloucester. There is a microwave and they provide crockery and cutlery but the fridge is small. Mel’s food is delicious and VERY reasonably priced. And a great choice of DVDs - Stillwater was an unexpected joy. There is much to offer in the region - bush walks, scenic drives and the normal country getaway offerings. But, just hanging at Copeland House was grand….. We can’t wait to go again…

This was our second visit to beautiful Copeland House. Just like our first visit,earlier in the year,there are no words to describe it except Perfection. Mel,Justin and beautiful Fur Baby Tess are exceptional hosts. Our suite was just gorgeous with log fire and all the extras like a Spa bath,fluffy robes and pillow menu and a gorgeous view of their garden. The bird life is amazing and the whole place,just makes you want to stop, breathe and relax.The setting,the Suites,the views and the atmosphere if we could give a rating of 10 we would. Mel prepares the most amazing breakfast and when you do get to visit ,don't bother going anywhere for dinner as, Mel's home cooked meals are as good,if not better than any Chef cooked meals. Mel also prepared a beautiful High Tea in the garden for my partner's Birthday. It was just gorgeous. Thankyou Mel,Justin and Tess for making our stay so special. Copeland House is one of the most lovliest places we have stayed Tammy and Anthony. Also if you love a Spa Bath,make sure you ask Mel,for one of her Spa Packs definitely worth the little extra to pay.

We had the most wonderful stay at Copeland House. The rooms were tastefully furnished and a lot of thought had been put into every little thing to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Mel is a great cook and hostand we were spoiled with her breakfasts. Loved sitting around the fire and enjoyed our welcome afternoon tea. We had Mel's delicious beef stew for dinner on our first night and cooked a barbeque in the well prepared barbeque area on our second night. Thank you Mel and Justin for making us welcome. I would totally recommend Copeland House if you are up that way. Would definitely stay there again.
