I got in touch with Tanya before leaving Melbourne about various things, she was extremely helpful providing me with images and information I needed. On the day of arrival, I was surprised to see the little heartwarming touches of Tanya’s little cottage - milk, biscuits, bottle of white, popcorn etc. But what impressed me the most is she’s able to foresee the traveller’s need down to the slightest details- inset repellent, hair straightener and etc. I love her bed, it feels like 5 stars hotel and smells like five stars hotel, I even think she’s probably a retired 5 starts hotel employee in order to provide such meticulous service to her guests.
The location is perfect for exploring Otway National Park, Apollo Bay and Colac. We went to Apollo Bay twice for lunch, visited the Otway light station, Otway Treetop, Lake Elizabeth, Beauchamp Falls and watch the glow worms in the night at Melba Gully, all within 30-50mins drive.
We had a wonderful family bonding time staying at this place. I look forward to my return at this cute little cottage in the near future.
