Deb and Ian were excellent hosts! We arrived late at night and they left the light at the front porch on for us - very thoughtful of them. They provided us breads, eggs, milk and fruits which was a very kind gesture as well - thank you. The house was clean and ticked all our requirements. The house itself, is absolutely stunning. It has a very cottage feel which we absolutely loved it! We later learnt that Ian designed and built it on his own. Just WOW!

The highlight of our stay got to be the close proximity with the animals in the farm. Being animal lovers, we got all excited when we see that there are 5-6 ponies literally staying out at your front door! We would feed them some bread and apples in the morning which was really fun. Deb was also very kind enough to show us around the entire farm and introduce the other animals like sheep, goats, horses, rabbits and chickens to us. I have to say that we learnt a great deal from just that couple of hour with Deb!

All in all, despite the house being at the outskirts of Melbourne and requiring a good 45 mins drive to get there, I will most definitely stay here again if I'm back in Melbourne. Such experiences are worth remembering a lifetime, and thank you Deb and Ian for being such wonderful hosts and for being such an inspiration for us.
