Wow, we were in for a terrific surprise as we made our way to the Bellarine Peninsula for our Mother/daughter weekend getaway. Clifton Springs was a refreshing little hamlet, tucked away and very picturesque. We were close to amenities but mostly needed to travel by car to access them. The house was very comfortable and spacious, decorated so beautifully, we wanted to stay longer! The property revealed a lovely garden with ripe apples ready to pick and enjoy and a steady supply of firewood for the fire. We didn't need it on this occasion but nice to know its there for Winter retreats. We were greeted by Rob and Lavita on arrival as they gave us a comprehensive tour of the house and left a beautiful welcome basket with goodies and some breakfast provisions. We made the most of the surrounding tourist spots with winery tastings, a winery lunch, a pub meal, sightseeing and a visit to Queenscliff, Port Arlington, Indented Head and St Leonards. We found access to the car a little tricky and would struggle with 2 cars. In addition Uber and taxi services to surrounding areas for those that want to have a drink or two was limited and unreliable. We would return to Clifton Springs again as it had the ingredients we needed to create a wonderful weekend. Thanks Rob and Lavita.
