My sister and I stayed at John's Birregurra house in April 2017, and thoroughly recommend it. Located within a small country town; situated away from the main street, quiet and private, yet not isolated; views over paddocks... we sat on the front verandah each morning and evening, enjoying the fresh country air and delightful view.
The town and surrounding area lends itself to exploration. Cafes have good food at reasonable prices. We purchased locally grown tomatoes at a roadside stall. Delicious!
The house itself is very well appointed and comfortable. Very clean. An easy 20 minute drive to the larger town of Colac, where their Historical Society and Family History facility is amazing to say the least.
All in all, our stay proved to be a delightful experience, and we are looking forward to a return trip to John's house at Birregurra at some time in the future.
