The photos in the listing give you an idea of how beautiful this heritage style home is, but don't do justice to the experience of actually staying there. At the end of a long day's drive, we were greeted by a hand-written welcome on arrival, and I almost cried with gratitude as I noticed several other little touches of warmth and hospitality. The Bank is well suited to an extended holiday, but even though we could only stay one night, we we still treated to the full experience, including fresh flowers and chocolates in the cosy lounge room, and ample milk and a fruit bowl in the well-stocked kitchen. The whole place is immaculate, my bed was the most comfortable I've slept in, the shower was divine, and there were heaters in every room to keep us warm. Damien and Adele were consummate hosts, checking that we got in okay and giving the impression that nothing is too much trouble. But it's hard to imagine needing anything, as they've thought of everything, from tissues to tea towels and even an umbrella on the coat stand! The Bank was the perfect way to finish our trip around the Great Ocean Road.
