What a fantastic location and property for a Otways break!
A few minutes from Laver's Hill, this beautiful house in a valley in the rainforest is a welcoming weekender, and the perfect base for either an active holiday such as we had, or a restful break. The house is surrounded by forest and includes a private glow-worm gully, as well as livestock and chickens.
Particular mention should go to the seclusion- no privacy issues with the large windows from main bedroom or ensuite with spa, even for those of a shy disposition. The sounds of the forest and it's inhabitants were a lovely backdrop to the peaceful view that greeted us when opened up the blinds.
All of the tech worked; the access instructions were accurate and queries were promptly addressed; the kitchen was well-resourced and laid out; beds comfortable and cosy, and linen clean and of excellent quality.
I would have loved to have spent more time, and suggest this property is perfect for a family, a couple or maybe 3 adult friends. Its open plan may not suit those with very disparate body clocks, as the acoustics of the upper bedrooms makes any activity in the living areas possibly difficult to sleep through.
That said, the downstairs bedroom has good sound-proofing, and we were able to have a normal conversation there, with others watching the TV in the adjacent living room.
As suggested, get your groceries on the way- there is limited access in Laver's Hill to even basic supplies. Good coffee at Yatzie's and a lovely meal at The Perch, who also make a mean sourdough loaf (well, we managed to get one).
I would love to have a holiday home like this, and am delighted that it is available until such time as my boat comes in!
