Nestled in the hills very close to Apollo Bay, Valley View was enchanting from the start with its very own pond with ducks, deer grazing quietly and the luscious greenery – tranquil and beautiful.

The accommodation was very cosy, made even more inviting by a wood fire that was all ablaze, ready to greet us.

Rachael, Tim and their children were very warm and welcoming making us feel at home instantly! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed being shown around by Rachael’s kids. They whole heatedly shared their neck of the woods – tree climbs, nightly visits by a Kookaburra, a bonfire, feeding the deer and all - the lot of them racing about surrounded by peals of laughter – such a joy to hear.

With the action only a few minutes’ drive away when you need it – Valley View is perfect for a quiet, peaceful break. Our weekend getaway was just magical! Rachael and Tim – thanks for sharing!
