We had a wonderful 2 nights staying at Lisa and Pat's stunning property which is set in beautifully landscaped country gardens. The old dairy, where you'll be staying, is stylishly decorated and spotlessly clean. There is a generous amount of space with a bedroom and communal area, which would be perfect for a group of friends or family get away.

Lisa is a delightful and entertaining host and she provided us with a variety of delicious breakfast options. Fresh eggs, Greek yoghurt, locally baked bread, with heavenly homemade jams, cereals, fresh coffee and homegrown fruit. The kitchen hailed fresh herbs and veg from the gardens, which are certainly worth a tour, and the rooms were filled with the most fragrant roses from the gardens. Simply exquisite.

We would recommend stocking up on provisions, especially a bottle of wine to enjoy on the terrace, and arriving at the house before dark as all access roads involve a gravel or dirt track. We arrived late on our first night and as city dwellers were a little off put by the bumpy country tracks. However, the very same road the next morning was a scenic drive through the Eucalyptus forests and not as intimidating as our imaginations had lead us to believe the night before!

We stayed whilst touring the Great Ocean Road, which was ideal. We felt the property would make a fantastic weekend getaway as it provides an oasis of calm and a peaceful haven from the furore of everyday life. We loved waking up to the fresh air and Kookaburra laugh. A true holiday retreat.
