“Sea garden” is a wonderful space in terms of location and accommodation. We appreciated its apparent remoteness - you need to take your supplies when you go, but Apollo Bay and Laver’s Hill are not very far; you’ll find yourself in a clearing in the forest with a distant sea view of Johanna Beach and you’ll see wallabies in the morning and evening around the house - and its comfort - a charming, quirky house that speaks of someone who knows his way around tools and building and who has an eye for the unusual and the beautiful; well-furnished rooms and a kitchen that works and is indeed well-supplied (as opposed to those you too may have encountered with cupboards totally bare). Communication with Ian was excellent and his welcome was warm, relaxed and friendly. I had a tour of his kitchen garden which I had an invitation and occasion to use. This is a place in which to sit back, relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the place. Your host knows the area, is helpful and friendly. We really appreciated the calm and comfort and - let’s be practical - the good value of Ian’s Otway “Sea garden”. We’ll go back!
