Our fully self contained Cottage  accommodation has been purposely built on different levels of the property so guests can chose the holiday accommodation style they prefer...

4 well-appointed two bedroom cottages  nestled in a bush setting of majestic gums and native trees. The cottages are in close proximity to the recreation areas allowing families and children easy access to the various activities the property has to offer.

3 fully self contained 1 bedroom Chalets, custom designed as Romantic Retreats for 'couples only' are situated on a higher level of the property, far enough away from the Family Cottages and recreation areas to ensure that guests who wish to relax away from a family orientated atmosphere can experience the tranquility they require.

Outside, there is a tennis court with basketball hoops, outdoor pool, giant garden chess, campfire & springfree trampoline.

Located in the Howqua Valley, a leisurely 2.5 hours drive from Melbourne the Black Sparrow offers stunning views of Lake Eildon and it's close proximity to the townships of Mansfield and Jamieson make it a great accommodation destination for people who wish to visit or experience adventure in these areas throughout the year. In the warmer months guests interested in water sport activities  can enjoy staying at a unique property while fishing, water skiing or boating on Lake Eildon while during the winter season the Black Sparrow is perfectly situated 40 minutes from the ski resorts of Mt Buller and Mt Stirling offering ski enthusiasts the option of affordable quality off-mountain accommodation.
