We just loved Nanna's Cottage so much. It has so much character, and I really think it's a testament to what AirBnb was initially set up to be. A beautiful 1960s country house, it really does make you feel like you're staying in a beloved family home. Having not much phone reception turned out to be bliss! There's an old TV we watched videos on, boardgames piled high, books everywhere, chickens, an old piano, a fireplace, and the most delicious Otways rain water to drink! The garden is charming, sprawling and full of fruit trees and flowers and vines - it's fully fenced too, so our dog had a terrific time exploring (as did we!).
All of the amenities were great, and Deb was quick to respond if we had a question. Being able to walk next door to the Deans Marsh general store and brewery was terrific. Lorne is only a twenty minute drive away, and staying in Deans Marsh was great as it's much quieter/less busy than Lorne.
All in all, a terrific experience and we will definitely return when we can!
