We had a lovely two-night stay at Leesa's property, which has beautiful views over rolling hills – ideal for daydreaming and avoiding news headlines. It's close to Geelong (where we recommend visiting Boom Gallery, Born & Bread Bakehouse, A Spot for Joe and The Book Bird) and yet feels like it's miles away. The house is a true home with beautiful art, vintage finds and design in the detail. We enjoyed spotting superb fairy-wrens darting about the garden. Leesa is a warm, generous host and her garden tour was the highlight of our weekend escape.
