Second time staying at The Gables after about 10 years and the property and surrounds are just as idyllic and quaint as the first time. The weather was rainy and cool so perfect for an indoor fire. The only issue we had was not having kindling and the firewood made available sizzled like a Bunning's sausage sizzle due to being wet. We ended up buying our own firewood to ensure a constant fire during the day and night. We spent most of the morning and afternoon walking many of The Otways bushwalks and The Gables is the perfect starting point to many amazing 2-3 hour loops. If you're a nature, bird loving person this place is for you!
