A nice warm stay up in the cold mountains. If the fireplace goes out and you’re as good at rekindling the flame as I am, there are always the electric blankets if it gets too cold.
You’ll get the very basics in this lodge. But it was the views of the surroundings and the hosts which were the highlights for me. Waking up at the edge of a misty valley and having a chat with two of the friendliest German farmer-musicians in Ricarda and Max are near the top of my list of best ways to start the day. Oh and also having the crow of a rooster as your morning alarm was a welcome first in many years.
Do consider staying here for a close-to-nature retreat if you’re traveling on the Great Ocean Road.
