The cottage was so cosy with the fire and quaint with its timber lined decor, it had everything we needed for our short stay. Our host Helen showed us around the farm, we had fresh eggs collected from the chicken coop and we met the farm dogs, goats and pet sheep. We even spotted a koala up in a gum tree on the farm. That was a definite highlight. So much to do in the region too, we took a walk on Johanna beach not far away and visited the 12 Apostles and also drove into Apollo Bay to see the marathon runners. We also brought our dog who was a little too fascinated with the farm goats. Highly recommend for a long weekend getaway! ##### Michelle H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jude S. Mar 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home away from home The accommodation is very cosy and well appointed. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and the view was spectacular. Helen and Julian were good hosts, the yard was secure for our dogs and they had a great time. Only drawback was the lack of handrail for the steps which were the only way to access the cottage, but the owners were very responsive and we devised a workaround. I would happily recommend this property to any of my friends/family ##### Jude S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bettina T.
