Pease do read the great reviews Heavenly Escape consistently receives from guests. For me to say I love staying at and working on Heavenly Escape myself is (clearly) highly subjective. This said, I do take both pleasure and pride in making it creative, a little quirky, and overall something that I think is quite special (and a bit different) in the context of Grampians accommodation. Magical some guests have said. I certainly recognise that we all value our time off immensely – it can be a rare commodity – and in recognition of this I am genuinely happy when guests enjoy their time at Heavenly Escape. To all guests – it has been a pleasure having you stay and thank you for your kind words about Escape, Cheers. Timothy (owner manager, Heavenly Escape, Halls Gap)

"Amazing place. You can see the soul of the host in it. The terrace among the trees allows for continuous bird watching. A sophisticated interior, original photos, and glass walls make this place unique." 10/10

"We had a truly magical stay at 15 High Road, where the beauty of the Grampians felt like it was right in our living room. We spent so much time on the deck, mesmerized by the incredible birdlife that visited us daily, including vibrant rosellas and cockatoos that were a delight to watch. It was a nature lover’s dream to wake up to such a pristine, tranquil environment while still being so close to the local walking trails. Everything about the property invited us to slow down and connect with the natural surroundings; we honestly couldn't have asked for a more serene and picturesque escape." 5 stars

"Absolutely loved our stay here. Perfect cabin in the woods, serene and calm. Could spot kangaroos and rabbits just right out of the balcony. Warm beds, fireplace & hot tub made the stay so cosy and comfy. Perfect to relax after long hikes in the Grampians :)" 5 stars.

"Wonderful stay!! So relaxing and isolated enough to feel like we’re off the grid a little while still of course being close to town. Really comfy. Thanks Tim!" 5 stars.
Dan, April 2026, Airbnb
Such a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Surrounded by trees, we could sit on the deck and watch the abundant wildlife. It was a nice walking distance to town yet far enough out for quiet and privacy. The kitchen is a good size with everything you need and the spa was a treat after a long day of hiking. Tim is an excellent host. Highly recommend. 5 stars.

"Extremely well presented, clean and quiet. Tim was a great host, he even supplied a bottle of shiraz! He was attentive and responded quickly with any queries we had. The accomodation was very well suited for any couples looking for a quiet, peaceful retreat from their busy lives. We will definitely visit again." 5 stars

Jurgen, November 2025, Booking.Com
"We had a wonderful stay at Tim's place. The setting was spectacular, nestled among the gum trees with beautiful bird life. The home was spacious, with a very relaxed vibe. The location was great, a 10 minute walk into town, and good access to the bike path. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and others. Thanks Tim" 5 stars

"Hi Timothy, We’ve just arrived ... Wow! It’s the most magical home. Thank you."
Jennifer
"Stylish and tranquil, this might be the perfect getaway. We saw cockatoos, lorikeets, kangaroos, and emus, all from the balcony! I've never seen so many stars in my life. Tim was a great host, super accommodating and full of helpful tips for making the most of your time."

A Heavenly Escape is so secluded and beautiful. The private little cabin makes for a lovely peaceful getaway close to the centre of Halls Gap. The spa and fireplace made it so cosy (especially when it rained for part of the time we were there!), and the kitchen is well stocked with pans and utensils. Comfy bed too! We were lucky enough to wake up to kangaroos grazing outside the cabin one morning, as well as a cockatoo drinking on the deck, and a beautiful deer on the driveway. It was so special. Tim is an excellent host. He was very welcoming and generous in helping us re-book when covid messed up our holiday plans. I could not recommend this place more highly. We can’t wait for our next stay at a Heavenly Escape!

A Heavenly Escape was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The cabin is absolutely beautiful, clean, cosy and very stylishly decorated. Tim was an absolutely amazing host and kept in contact very well, providing a lot of tips and advice on things to do and see. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family and look forward to a time when we can rebook and visit again!

Gabriel
"Thanks Tim for a great weekend. A Heavenly Escape is as the same suggests. Fantastic home in a fantastic location. Loved the spa, views and wildlife. Stylishly decorated with little personal touches throughout such as the panda poo guestbook (which is full by the way) and awesome photography on the walls. 'Til next time..."
