I was in Victoria for work and Birch Haven was the ideal base for me. The property was as described, with all the necessaries available. Chopped wood was supplied for the log burner which really made the evenings and the beds were comfortable. I spent most of my days away, but did have one full day stocking the log burner and working from the kitchen table which was very pleasant. It was raining for most of my stay but the veranda out the back looked like a lovely place for morning coffee in the warmer months! Overall Birch Haven was a cosy, comfortable stop on my tour and was good value. My only warning for those staying in the winter months would be that most of Birregurra's cafes etc (within very easy walking distance) were closed and the restaurant only opened Wed-Sun. Colac is not far away however and has all the big shops etc just a short drive away.
