My husband, 2 kids (13 & 10) and I loved our week-long stay here- the house is beautiful. I especially loved the comfortable, cosy beds and bedroom(s)- even though I was woken up one night by an animal on the roof. there are books and games for the family to enjoy. The house is set in a beautiful quiet rural area but is a quick drive to Warrnambool with all the shops you need (including supermarkets- Coles and Woolworths). there's lots to do nearby: mini golf, motor boats, playgrounds, lookouts, reserves, dormant volcano, great Ocean road, bowling, art galleries/studios, spas, places to eat and drink, beaches, etc.
Katherine is a lovely host. she gives you your privacy but is also available when you need something and it was nice to have a chat with her. She also welcomed us to use the basketball court, climbing frame and hammock in her yard/land.
My kids loved meeting and patting Tuffy (small dog) and Drax (cat).
