Absolutely stunning location, with a view from two main bedrooms plus the kitchen and dining. It was a very cold period when we stayed and there was no firewood in the firebox on our first night. Someone came after the second night to chop firewood. Without the fire going, we were cold in the living areas. The reverse cycle aircon is up very high near the ceiling and since hot air rises … it wasn’t warm enough for us. Bedrooms have heaters though so we were comfortable. If you are going to stay here in winter:
1. make sure you feel confident about using the wood fire or be prepared to rug up indoors
2. Be prepared to pay for firewood and kindling. It was about $20 a day for us, purchased from supermarket. The guest book said an appropriate amount of firewood would be provided, however there was none in the woodbox on the first night. We later in daylight found some behind a shed but it was damp and needed splitting to be a decent size. When we contacted the house manager via Airbnb they said we’d have to buy our own. Had we known that we might have organised a bit of a cheaper delivery.
That said, such a beautiful view from so many rooms, lovely location and the appliances are all great. On days when the sun came out it was extra cosy inside as sun pours in the loungeroom windows. Lovely spot to watch the ocean in all weathers and explore the otways. So relaxing to hear the ocean from every room even with all the doors and windows closed.
