The house is very conveniently placed at the end of the Great Ocean Road and a great stop-off point after travelling the road. We made the mistake of driving the GOR, stopping at Leo's and Val's place for one night and then travelling back to Melbourne. We should have spent longer in the Warrnambool area which has much to offer if one enjoys the countryside. Our hosts at Hopkin's Hideaway, Leo and Val, made us very welcome and even supplied breakfast. The house is a little old fashioned but very clean and comfortable and has everything needed. As Leo and Val live next door they can very quickly remedy any shortfalls although I have to say we didn't need to bother them on this account. I have also to mention that Val is, in my opinion, a very talented artist and all the paintings in the house are her work many of which are available for purchase. All in all we had a very pleasant stay at Hopkin's Hideaway.
