Koendidda Country House

Hi Sammi, Lyn and I had a wonderful stay at Koendidda, thanks to your help and advice and looking after all our needs. The property has been well maintained thanks to your ongoing attention. Knowing Lyn loves the character of these old properties, I was very happy to find yours, and it makes for a great stay with someone like you. Regards Lyn and Harry

My wife and I have just ended a memorable five day stay at the elegant Grand Old Lady Country house called Koendidda, built in the 1860s. Today, it is still in great condition and offers very comfortable accommodation.
Set back from a gravel road and well away from a sealed road, with no other dwellings nearby and surrounded by farm land, you get to experience only the sounds of country life.
The mansion is full of paintings and beautiful antique furniture from another era. The dining room tables are some 200 years old and in beautiful condition. As soon as you enter through the front door, you are stunned by the incredibly wide hallway, very high ceilings and very wide skirting boards and architraves. The rooms are all very large and comfortably furnished and we enjoyed a cosy fire in the evenings.
The house is set amongst a variety of mature trees, some of which were stunning with autumn colours. On the east side are many comfortable cane chairs to sit in to enjoy the morning sun.
Lastly, our experience would not have been the same without the wonderful host, Sammi. She is so friendly and helpful and a people's person. And a mention has to be made of her Cavoodle, Shelby and black cat, Luna who gave us so much pleasure when we were around them. We enjoyed breakfast in the elegant dining room where a cooked breakfast was served as well as continental.
Our experience at Koendidda would be rated right up there as one of the best. We thank you Sammi for being a great host and to get to know you.

Koendidda is a tranquil retreat...a great place to return to after visiting the nearby wineries. Host, Sammi and puppy Shelby were very welcoming and attentive. Enjoyed the well appointed rooms, great breakfast and loved having a wine on the balcony.Thanks, Ivano & Liz

Management and premises.
Koendidda was everything and more than we were hoping for. The manor was very warm and inviting. Guests had the option of several well appointed and cosy sitting rooms at their disposal with a lovely fire which encouraged you to sit and mingle with a glass of local wine with fellow guests which was very pleasant in the evenings. Tea, coffee etc is available throughout the day from the breakfast room should you want it.
Breakfast is around a shared dining table any time from 7.30am with cereal, fruit, toast, jam, juice etc plus a lovely fully cooked breakfast should you feel like more. The grounds are very pleasant and the surrounding countryside is fantastic. Dinner at the local pub (5min drive) was very good too. Koendidda is a short drive to Rutherglen, Albury / Wodonga & Howlong (great cafe here).
Sammi, the manager (along with Shelby her delightful little dog), are a delight and really are what make your stay so enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble and Sammi makes you feel like you have “come home”.
We cannot recommend this stay high enough, indulge and book a weekend here.
We certainly will be coming back😊.

We had a great stay at Koendidda Country House. It was an amazing historic building in a natural setting. The location was great for exploring the local area. The host was excellent and we had the tasty seafood platter for dinner. Breakfast was also great.

A beautiful tranquil, little gem, hidden in a peaceful setting.If you appreciate the grandeur of yesteryear, you will enjoy this experience.
Tastefully furnished, to suit this luxurious homestead. These hosts are extremely accommodating in retaining this high standard.
From providing delicious afternoon teas and high quality breakfast every morning.
Their attention to detail and quality linen are of a high standard.
These are the reasons we return every year. Thank you Alan and Karen, for being exceptional hosts.
Looking forward to celebrating our 10 th year visit next year.

What a beautiful place to stay Sammi and Shelby went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The bed was so comfortable and the food was amazing..Sammi even had a glass of wine on arrival.We will definitely stay there again😊

What a wonderful place! We held our wedding at Koendidda, staying there with family for the weekend. We loved that it is so private, and elegant, with beautiful grand furnishings but still felt like a loved home. The hosts, Alan & Karen, looked after us & everything very well, providing us all with delicious meals, making sure we were all very well fed! Nothing was a drama for them, and they helped to make our day stress-free. We truly felt spoilt in such beautiful surrounds & loved every minute of our stay there. Will definately be going back.

What a great place to spend 2 or 3 days in this wonderful 160 year old country home, ideally located between Rutherglen, Beechworth and Yackandandah.
Rooms are spotless and spacious.
Sammi is a super host who provided us with excellent daily breakfasts and a super evening meal.

Amazing place to base yourself in for visiting Rutherglen and district wineries. The host Sammi could not have been more helpful and made us feel right at home in this beautiful historic house.

Sammi and Shelby looked after us so well. What a beautiful establishment, brilliant location and we can't wait to return next year with the new friends that we met while we stayed here. Thanks once again.

Another beautiful stay at Koendidda house.
Thank you so much Julie for the lovely cheese platter and awesome breakfast.Year after year we return to this beautiful peaceful relaxing house for the great service we receive.

I stayed at Koendidda house with five of my friends and we couldn't speak more highly of it. The owners were so accommodating and inviting and made us feel at home. The property is stunning and I couldn't recommend it more!

Warm friendly atmosphere (Sam and Shelby are the best hosts) nothing's to much bother,
Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to base yourself while going to any of the local wineries

So far so good! Host Samantha is lovely and the gatekeeper/entertainment puppy Shelby is absolutely divine.
