We stayed just for one night at the Hideaway cottage, which showed its owner's creative hand in its construction and design. It was surprisingly spacious, with a high vaulted ceiling and a nice view of an impressive produce garden through a grapevine framed window. It had a very well equipped kitchenette (sizeable and very quiet fridge, microwave, espresso machine), which we would have used, if staying longer. Instead, we dined at an excellent local Bistrot Plume, which we highly recommend for breakfast, lunch or dinner (it also sells beautiful sourdough bread to take home). The suburb of Belmont is well located, within easy driving distance to major places of interest in Geelong. Leigh was a gracious host, leaving us to ourselves, but just a phone call away, if needed.
