Matthias is a very friendly and helpful host. The construction of the cottage is great and the setting is very peaceful, overlooking paddocks with cattle and the forest in the distance. Each day brought different kinds of birds and their songs. Be mindful if the weather is hot as there is only a desk fan in the upstairs sleeping loft, and no window to leave open. The balcony was a bit rickety, hence we didn't use. It's a good idea to bring some provisions as Colac is a 20 minute drive. Matthias was available for any questions and offered suggestions of day trips for the area. His farm is in a beautiful peaceful location. We enjoyed sitting on the verandah with a book taking in the setting.
