Helen communicated well with us before we arrived. She then met us and showed us through the property, giving us some helpful advice on local attractions, shops etc, then left us in private. She had the ac on and ice already made in the freezer as it was a warm day. Little things like that are really appreciated. It’s a beautiful flat, attached to the main house but on the other side of their huge garage so not on top of each other. We could park our car right next to the back of the unit. Helen and John have put a lot of thought into the design and amenities. It has every creature comfort, gorgeous warm decor, spacious lounge with comfy leather chairs, dining area, small but well equipped kitchen, medium fridge, jam, Vegemite, butter, tea coffee, milk, salt, pepper, olive oil etc, roomy bedroom with a queen size bed and a fairly firm mattress, super quality bed linen and towels, and a spacious bathroom with generous supplies.
There was a table and chairs just outside the flat to sit and watch the fairy wrens flutter about. A bit more shrubbery or a screen from the main house would create more privacy. We were welcome to walk around the property and also sit on the lovely large house verandah with a glass of wine and watch their sheep wandering in the paddocks adjacent. Helen had laminated a large map of Warrnambool and pointed out all the shops and waterfront areas where we could walk or go for a meal. That was so helpful and we enjoyed doing exactly that. Warrnambool is a lovely place and the waterfront precinct with its park and duck filled lakes and thundering seas makes for a very pleasant morning or afternoon. Highly recommended.
