We spent a long weekend at Kati and Oliver's property at Lake Eildon, and it was absolutely fantastic.

The house was immaculate, very well-appointed, and incredibly quiet. The furnishings and bedding were excellent, providing a very comfortable stay.

The wildlife was a delightful bonus, with Rosellas, Kookaburras, and Magpies visiting us. We also enjoyed a bit of fishing on their private jetty on Lake Eildon, which was a great experience.

Kati and Oliver were wonderful hosts, making sure everything was perfect for our stay. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend their property to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable retreat.

We had a lovely long weekend stay at Kati's and couldn't recommend it enough! The view and surroundings were absolutely beautiful and a great little private spot to enjoy the lake.

The house was in immaculate condition and so well equipped that we felt right at home! There was nice little touches such as water bowls for our pup and even toys and story books for our little ones.

We're definitely looking forward to coming back again soon!

I travel a lot and stay in Hotels and BB's nearly weekly for work, I can honestly stay this is by far one of the best places I have ever stayed, not only for the breathtaking views and absolutely stunning house, but Kati and her family went above and beyond to cater any needs we needed, to the extent of lending me tools to put new batteries in my boat, and helping in many ways. For a last minute trip for a rare R&R weekend literally booked 12 hours before, it has been the easiest most pleasant stay of my life.

We have had 2 amazing stays, so far, at O'Deer.

Kati & Oliver are wonderful hosts, and always go above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

"Up the Top" is beautiful, immaculate and very comfortable. It's a special home away from home for us. The house has everything we need - fully appointed kitchen, great laundry and plenty of space to spread out as a large family. The view is gorgeous and surroundings are quiet and peaceful. My favourite place is the deck - watching the activities of Lake Eildon. We love the private jetty on the property for our boat and fishing. The kids love the complimentary kayaks and playing with the little dogs.

All communications with Kati are always promptly answered.

We look forward to our next stay.

What an amazing place, what an amazing host! Couldn't have asked for more out of the stay. Best experience I've had on airbnb to date . Well done Kati, will be staying again in the future.

Patrick, 1- 4 Nov

Pictures do not do justice to the views from this home. We loved everything about our stay, from the location, being surrounded by nature to enjoying everything this beautiful home has to offer. Canoeing, fishing and swimming in in lake Eildon was a highlight. Kati was always available and provided clear instructions and tips on where to eat or places to visit. I can highly recommend 'Up on Top' as a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle. I look forward to returning.

What a slice of heaven! We had a really memorable stay here. The photos of this house were the reason we chose it but it’s even more stunning in person! This house is created around this magnificent view, most rooms had a view of the lake. We appreciated the large kitchen and took every opportunity to cook. This place is well appointed, decorated with comfortable furniture and has all the amenities you could need. There is a private jetty and kayaks for use which was a real highlight for us. Kati was accommodating and responsive. We would love to stay again!

Thank you so much for having us, we had the best time! Kati, thank you so much for making our stay amazing and all the homely touches like the eggs and all the branding made the house feel like home. We all loved the pontoon and had so much fun on the lake and the view is absolutely spectacular and waking up to it every morning made our day get off to a great start! Once again thank you so so so much for providing this amazing property and cannot wait for next time.

Our stay at this beautiful lakeside Airbnb was nothing short of magical. As two family’s from England staying with friends from Melbourne we had such a fantastic experience here! Location is breathtaking - nestled by the water with stunning views from most rooms. The house itself was immaculate, comfortable and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed to feel at home! Our trip has made some of the best memories and we thank you for making your place apart of this!

Thank you for replenishing our serenity and inner calm. Taking ‘KIFFY’ out on the lake with family and friends has been so uplifting. Up the Top was/is the perfect sanctuary to gather, share, break bread and play - a little piece of heaven. Until the next time ….

We cannot thank you enough for the amazing hospitality you shared with us during our stay. The presentation of our accommodation was 10/10. Your attention to detail will keep us coming back, everything I could want or need has been thought of, from the coffee machine to the e-bike usage, the accessibility to the lake and the view from the balcony absolutely flawless. Can’t wait to return.

Absolutely had an amazing and memorable trip. A big thanks to Kati and Oliver for their amazing hospitality. We’ve been to many Airbnb’s but this was truely the best. The amazing location, view, attention to detail and availability of everything you could think of. Another big plus was being pet friendly meaning Milo could come along with us and have a swim. We came for a birthday and everyone from the kids to the grandparents loved it. A big thanks again and we will definitely be back

What a beautiful corner of the world, with wonderful hosts. This is the first time in 3 years we have had a family holiday and are looking forward to return next year. The panorama is sublime even in the thunderstorm.

What a beautiful place, the view is great and the house is amazing, so well thought out with everything you need. We look forward to seeing the new house when we return. A big thank you to you both and to Oliver for towing. He was brilliant. P.S thanks for the eggs, they were delicious.

We can't thank you enough Kati and Oliver! It has been an incredible long weekend and one we will never forget. This place is such a peaceful haven; the view is stunning and you have thought of everything to ensure our stay was perfect. Super comfy beds, love the shower, love the outdoor chairs and this is all only super seated by your hospitality. John and I are determined to get electric bikes now! And you are a great artist, Kati. See you again. Adrianne.

What a lovely space you have created at Up the Top. Luxury amongst the treetops. We are humbled by the way you looked after us and really enjoyed learning more about the history of the area. BEST STAY EVER. John.

What a wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable day we had! The views from every window are magnificent! The house is very well appointed with very comfortable beds for all. Three generations of our family which includes five adults and four children under six years old, we're never on top of each other and massive deck serving as a safe outdoor play area. Thank you for providing such a wonderful stay, we enjoyed it… inside and out!

To our amazing hosts, Kati and Oliver, thank you for sharing your wonderful property with us. The view has been absolutely breathtaking and our family has created some very special memories here for our little boys first Easter family getaway. The house felt like our own home and was wonderfully equipped and we were never short of feeling comfortable here. All three generations enjoyed it thoroughly, as did our fur baby Pip. Thank you again and we can't wait to be back! Our favourite trip to date.

There was nothing that hadn't been thought of at Up The Top. The views are superb and we really felt that we were away from the World. The most comfortable beds - floating on clouds Up the Top. There was six girls and we had never felt on top of each other. Thank you Katie and Oliver for sharing your beautiful house with us we will be back.

Only two days are too short for a wonderful holiday! The beautiful view and the cozy house totally made us relax! We will definitely come back again in the future. Thank you Kati, your warm heart and consideration impressed me. Hopefully see you again soon. PS the free range eggs are tasty.
