Rustic charm! This place is off the beaten track with a true Aussie outback sheep farm cottage. The kitchen is well equipped: bring your food as there is no supermarket or restaurant nearby. We used the cottage and our kids stayed in the shearers quarters which was an adventure for them. The hosts had the fire set up ready for us to light and there is plenty of fire wood stored outside to keep you cosy on cold nights.
We also spent some time talking to an extremely knowledgeable station manager who educated us in sheep management and farm life - very charming guy. We met the hosts briefly also who were very welcoming. This place is an absolute winner if you want to stay in the country in the Western District. It was about 45 minutes to Halls Gap for bushwalks and about 20 minutes to Dunkeld. The closest town is Cavendish and we did the Settlers walk which was interesting and educated all of us in early country life. We were sad to not try dinner at the Bunyip Hotel which is only open on the weekends and apparently is fantastic food.
