We had a fantastic time at Seacroft with Sam and her family. The instructions to the house were clear (it's hard to miss, being visible from the Great Ocean Road with incredible views of the coastline). The farm is in a great location, about halfway between Torquay and the Twelve Apostles, and just after the toughest stretch of the Great Ocean Road, so it makes a perfect location for seeing the area. Though we didn't go looking for them, the house is very close to the Kennett River, which has large numbers of koalas and other wildlife.

Sam was a really helpful, friendly host who made sure we had a full stock of firewood for the wood-burning stove and gave us tips for local sights and attractions. We really enjoyed meeting her.

The house itself was spacious, nicely furnished and comfortable. We visited in Winter, so it was chilly outside, but the wood-burning fire and the heaters in the bedrooms worked brilliantly once they got going. There's no wireless, but it was actually nice to have a break from the technology, do some painting and just read our books in front of the fire. The beds were extremely comfortable (we want to know what make and model the mattress was! It was great!) and everything was clean and tidy. We cooked a couple of meals in the house and had everything we needed.

I would love to revisit Seacroft in the future and see how the renovation of the church is coming along.
