Austral 88 is a fantastic large home and is equipped exactly as advertised. Multiple bedrooms, bathrooms and TVs in every room so great for many friends or family members coming together. There were only 4 of us but we loved having such a large space to spread out in. The linen and beds were greatly appreciated - really top quality towels, doonas, and blanket are everywhere and the owners have been very generous in outfitting the place with loads of supplies and extras to make it a top quality holiday rental. The central heating is very effective for cold winter days and it's a great base from which to explore the region. Just 7 minutes out of central Warrnambool and about 17 minutes on to Port Fairy, we loved being able to enjoy so many different sights. We also went to Portland for lunch and the afternoon - just 1 hr 10 mins further on - and on another day, having brought our bikes with us, made use of the lovely rail trail, cycling from nearby Koroit down towards Port Fairy. We enjoyed lots of great cafes and restaurants in Warrnambool - its a really pretty town with lovely people, and well serviced with everything you could need. We even went horseriding through the dunes and along the beach one afternoon with a nearby horseback riding business, which was so much fun! Debbie and Ron made everything so welcoming for us, even hiring additional equipment we requested to help my elderly mother with her stay. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts - thank you Ron, we really appreciated your kindness. and great service!
