Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Memorable and relaxing holiday My daughter and I had a truly wonderful holiday at the Historic SoHo Estate.The lake and gardens surrounding the estate were absolutely beautiful, and the cottage itself was charming and well-equipped. It had everything we could have wished for, including fresh eggs and flowers to welcome us upon arrival. The estate also featured a heated pool and a tennis court, which were lovely additions to our stay. While we did enjoy a refreshing swim, one of our favorite moments was simply relaxing poolside with a glass of wine.The location was perfect for exploring all the Bellarine beaches.Kate, our hostess, went above and beyond in providing helpful information about the best local spots to visit. One of her excellent recommendations was Scotchmans Hill winery, where we enjoyed delicious wines and food while taking in the stunning views.Kate’s thoughtfulness and attentive hospitality truly enhanced our experience. The combination of the estate and her warm welcome made for a memorable and relaxing getaway. ##### Patti P. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracey R.
