The cabin was built of lovely local woods, with huge windows framing the beautiful views of gardens and farmlands. Comfortable beds and bath, nicely furnished, light and cheerful. Lots of back roads to explore and several good meals at the Perch. Couldn’t have been nicer! ##### Patricia S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maura A.

The cabin is not only clean and cosy, it has stunning view Such a stunning setting and perfect digs. The cabin is not only clean and cosy, it has stunning views and a spacious living area. Everything you need for a relaxing get-away and it’s pet friendly. Our two mini-schnauzers loved it and we’re super excited when resident pooch, Blue, dropped by for a visit. We also had a super relaxed yoga session with Roz which was money well spent. She came to our cabin with all the gear. All we had to do was stretch and breathe.

Jun 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful quiet location and truly dog friendly The location is wonderfully quiet, with a great view and is truly dog friendly. They even have a resident customer service representative the friendly collie called Blue to show you round and have pats and cuddles. The dog friendly Johanna beach is close by and perfect for wind swept walks. The accommodation is well presented, with all the key things you need for a comfortable stay including a wood fire and air conditioning (both of which kept us cosy despite the cold, wet weather). This coupled with the views across the nearby farms make it a great place to relax for a few days and curl up on the couch with a glass of wine and a good book! ##### Sharon P.

The cottage is so comfortable and beautiful, with stunning views out the huge windows. The owners are on site, and are happy to help with anything you need (including spare keys when we locked ours inside ). And Blue the dog is so friendly and cute! ##### Dianne a.

Mar 4, 2022 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Quiet getaway - enjoy the serenity A lovely place to get away from it all, lovely views and exceptionally quiet, wifi available but no internet connection. Cottage was clean and tidy but very old, (photos on website very deceptive) comfy couch, small bedrooms and no wardrobes in one bedroom. No dryer and we had cold weather and therefore couldn't dry towels etc. Website information needs to be updated as the Café does not stock groceries as detailed. The local restaurant was exceptional and highly recommended. Expectation for what we paid was disappointing. ##### Chris v. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola G.

Beautiful gardens all around the cabins, second best dog in the world (ours is the best) who visited frequently but was very well behaved. The location is fantastic for visiting places in the Otways we’d never seen before, from the coast to rainforest areas and bush. Special mention for incredibly comfortable, large leather couches for relaxing on after a day hiking. ##### Margot F. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brayden D.
