My husband, two young sons, doggo and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kathryn and David’s cottage, not in the least because it was our first weekend away out of lockdown since March! We had originally booked to come down in July, but had to postpone when Melbourne went into lockdown and regional travel was prohibited. Kathryn and David were extremely understanding, allowing us to re-book again a number of times until we hit a date that allowed us to travel outside of Melbourne.
The cottage itself is lovely - comfortable, spotlessly clean, cosy and comfortable beds, well looked-after, and the breakfast pack very generous (the fresh bread and eggs from their chickens were especially good!).
We spent the first day exploring the Great Ocean Road sights, the second exploring Warrnambool and Port Fairy (loved Post Fairy!), and the third at the beach as it got quite hot. The cottage was well placed to tour around the region and was a welcome place to return to at the end of the day.
Kathryn and David were kind enough to take our boys to feed their gorgeous animals (alpacas, miniature ponies, chickens, sheep, lambs, and geese) and even allowed us to bring our dog along who had a very generous, secure yard to explore and lots of cows to bark at!
All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay away and we are very grateful to Kathryn and David for being such wonderful hosts.
