Kalimna Woods Cottages

These are nice cabins set on a bushy property. It is generally peaceful, but depending on your cabin location you can hear the main road traffic occasionally. But generally the cabins although aged are clean and comfortable. The surrounding area pleasant and relaxing and is an easy 5 minute walk to the kalimna pub. P.S. the firewood is $15 for a tub and a bucket of kindling not $15/ night. Unless you burn a lot of timber. I would recommend this place and not hesitate staying again.

Absolutely loved our 3 night break here in early April. The setting was beautiful, in natural bushland, and although there are 10 cottages we had complete peace and privacy. We had a little trouble tuning the TV but management couldn't have been more helpful. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable beds. I would definitely stay again. Thank you for our VERY enjoyable stay.

So nice and relaxing. Really nice place with a spa, a separate bathroom with a shower and toilet, a lounge & kitchen all for the same cost as a motel room. The room also had a full-size fridge with a freezer at the top. It's like a 4 minute drive to Lakes Entrance, so whitener you need for your stay you can pick up there. We were up the back in cottage 5 with a nice little view. There are also 9 really cute chickens that roam around. 2 brown and white coloured girls literally ran up to me twice to say hi. They did the feeding in the morning, but we missed it. Also, it says possum & sugar glider viewing at night, we did see a super cute chilped possum, but sadly, no gliders. Maybe next time. The chooks are bloody adorable, though.

My experience with Kalimna Cottages, booked via Booking.com, was profoundly disappointing and deeply concerning. Despite receiving a confirmed reservation, Kalimna Cottages cancelled the booking on their end—without notice, explanation, or accountability. To make matters worse, they refused to refund the full booking fee, despite being the party that initiated the cancellation. Equally troubling is the lack of support from Booking.com, who facilitated the transaction and have failed to ensure that guests are treated fairly. There appears to be no protection in place for consumers when properties like Kalimna act in bad faith. This experience reflects a serious lapse in both ethical standards and professional responsibility. Charging a guest for accommodation that was never honoured, and then refusing to issue a refund, is completely unacceptable. I will never book with Kalimna Cottages again, and I strongly advise others to be extremely cautious. I also urge Booking.com to review their relationship with this property and reconsider their policies around cancellations and guest protection. This kind of conduct damages trust and undermines the integrity of the entire booking platform.

Book at own risk!! We were placed in cottage 10. Upon arrival, we noticed all the windows to the cottage were open, though it was raining… When we opened the door we were immediately hit with an overpowering waft of stale cigarette smoke. The cottage is dated and quite dirty. We noticed one of the beds had been laid in and not made up and all the comforters smelt. We sat for 5 minutes in the lounge trying to talk ourselves into staying, however, the stale smoke smell was quite overpowering to the point you could taste it. We decided to immediately leave and book another hotel in town. The cottage is not walking distance to town, hard to access and will need a four wheel drive to get out of there. Unfortunately we were not given a refund for our 5 minute stay. Very disappointing.

We had a 4person cottage that was comfortable enough for 2 but not enough room for 4. On arrival the reception was open but no one there, had to call someone so no customer service. Our cottage needed a good tidy up outside and some touch ups inside and looked old. TV reception was terrible. Ad said oven and stove top. The oven was the size of a milk crate and one knob was broken, the stove top was the size of a set of bathroom scales which was kept in a cupboard. No dinner plates just small ones, not enough cutlery for 4. Our bin outside was half full. The shampoo, conditioner and the body gel bottles were that old the labels were hard to read. No mat at the door to wipe your feet and the parking was confusing. A good idea to have a one way track but you need a 4 wheel drive to navigate along it as it was steep and rough going. They had a dog on site and it barked all night. Never again.

Cockroach on the door greeted us, more of its buddies inside.cobwebs,peeling paint,sticky bench tops,screen windows ripped dirty fridge , dirty dishes ,and shook out an extra blanket to go on the bed, it was stained badly. 10years ago this place was top notch now it's disappointing..the road out was suitable for 4wd ,motorcycles would struggle with it especially when wet. Would not recommend..sad really as it was such a beautiful place

Very peaceful and quiet like living in a jungle! A possum came to ask some fruit, only a step away from me! First time get so close to such lovely animals! Good memories in my life!
