Dale and Jackie have created a very special journey and destination for guests. My partner and I have stayed in many places in Victoria (we live in Melbourne), but this by far was our favorite.
While driving to the house, you can spot the local wildlife, including Koalas. The road twists and turns up a hill away from the ocean. Once you come upon the crest, you have a magnificent view of the surrounding farms, woods, and of course the ocean.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the doggies and Dale. He showed us around the cottage and property, describing all the love and energy that he and Jackie put into creating the cottage. Which, by the way is stunning, with a beautiful view to the ocean, plenty of light, and so many thoughtful touches that it feels like home.
The night was perfect for a bbq (which worked super well) and a salad made with delicious greens from their garden. The spot is tranquil; you can disconnect from the rest of the world and just enjoy the stars and sounds of the animals. We slept great.
Breakfast was healthy and just right for a day on the road (yoghurt, yummy granola, fruit). We left wishing we had more time to discover Dale and Jackie's magical place, but we hope to be back.
If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet spot to enjoy the great ocean road, with great access to local facilities, then this a super pick. Thank you Dale and Jackie!
