We had a wonderful stay at the Cherry Orchard cabin and Brigitte was an incredible host. She truly enjoys to make her guests feel welcomed and special. We arrived on my husband's birthday and there was a delicious cake waiting for him to be eaten with strawberries and cream. There were other home made delicacies waiting for us in the fridge, such as biscuits that we enjoyed with tea or a special fig paste and fig jam that were great with cheese and crackers. We had to do very little grocery shopping, as Brigitte provided homegrown eggs, milk, butter, coffee, a nice selection of teas and much more! The place was perfect for our two kids (3 years and 8 months), as we had a baby cot and high chair for the little one and a big selection of books and toys for the eldest. After the kids went to bed, we were able to watch some movies from the DVD collection. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin and I'm not exaggerating if I say it was the most clean place I've ever been to. Not only super clean, but also smelling nicely.
Brigitte has also prepared a folder with various information and local tips that was especially useful to find dinner places. The wineries and attractions in the area all close at 5pm, so it's very useful to have some tips on where to chill and wait for the sunset. Meletos was an absolute winner for us!
On the last morning after checkout, Brigitte helped us to book a local place for breakfast which was the perfect farewell from the Yarra Valley.
We would definitely recommend the Cherry Orchard cabin and hope to return again, ideally during the cherry blossoms.
