The Blacksmith's Cottage was as delightful as the pictures! The location may be considered a bit remote by some, but that was part of it's charm. There is access to a private beach which was beautiful and fun to explore. Bring your own water as suggested and stock up on food before going if you plan on preparing meals as the nearest store is about 20 minutes away. We used the cottage as our base to explore Freycinet, Maria Island (a wonderful tour with East Coast Cruises), and the local wineries. We also stopped in at Kate's Berry Farm for a delicious crepe with fresh berries and ice cream. If you're looking for shells, Kelvedon beach is covered with them! For us it was a wonderful time away and gave us some much needed time away from everything. Enjoy!
