What a wonderful, wonderful weekend we had at the Timboon House stables! Vik is BRILLIANT host. We appreciated her warm emails when we were organising the place and loved the special touches on arrival, including fresh roses from the garden in every room and fresh fruit from the orchard on the counter.
The stables itself was perfect for our weekend away. Two beautifully appointed bedrooms, enormous bathroom with rain head shower and claw-foot bath and a lovely dining table with a view of the gardens. We ran out of time to enjoy the table on the sunny private deck - that will have to wait for next time!
This place is about as private and serene as it gets and if you can't get a good nights sleep in these comfy beds I will be shocked! We used the place as a base to visit family, but if you were headed to the Great Ocean Road or Twelve Apostles it would be an ideal starting point. We also spent each morning exploring the walking tracks around Mount Leura - as a former local I had never done that and HIGHLY recommend it!
This is actually my fourth trip to the stables, but my first since Vik and her family took over. If, like me, you are a returning guest, you will find it just as superb as always. I'm just thrilled a place I have loved over the years is in such good hands (this is not always the case! LOL).
My final comment is on the bathroom towels - so good my friend and I had to find out where they were purchased and the first thing we did when we got home was order some for ourselves!!! :-)
Thanks Vik - can't wait to be back there soon.
