The garden at Modesc Timboon makes this a very private spot to just sit and watch the world go by, and listen to the birds. This spot is the best of both worlds: forests and coast. About a 20-30 min drive to explore the 12 apostles and Great Ocean Road.
Anya and Shaun have a book of local suggestions, and we explored a few different things from it. Timboom is a great little village, so many good spots to eat (and shop!). All within easy walking distance of the accomodation.
Communication was a breeze. Anya replied quickly to messages and made the check-i process really easy.
