Eric's place is exactly as it is written and photos show. It is about 2 mins drive or walking distance from Panton Hill which is a tiny little village. Hurstbridge is only 5 mins drive and Yarra Valley is about 25 mins. We (2 couples) stayed 2 nights as we had a wedding at Yarra Valley on Saturday. It was central for this as we had to pick up other guests at Airport (about 35 mins away) late on Friday night.
The cottage is set up with everything you need with abundant breakfast supplies, coffee machine and a loaf of hot homemade bread delivered Friday night.
I would certainly recommend Eric's place, for anyone with there own transport, who wants to explore the area or just have a quiet time a short distance away from Melbourne.
Thanks Eric and Lynn, you are great hosts!!
