Julie’s place was sparkling clean and well located in small quiet town of Lara. We had to visit my father at Geelong Port so it was the most apt location for us. We drove down to Lara from Sydney, so found it easier to visit the local shops in our own transport. It is walkable to the local shops (2-3 km) but we had a 10 month old who made it impossible for us to hike. We found the deck to be the highlight of the house. Gives a chance to wind down and enjoy a glass of wine. Julie, generously, arranged milk and eggs for us. It was very thoughtful of her. We stayed two nights here. It was very good. We missed having our baby’s cot but we managed in the two bedrooms. The house was very comfortable. All in all a great place and totally recommend it to someone who is stopping over on their way or visiting relatives in the area.
