An idyllic setting with the most gorgeous views, and unspoilt by traffic noise or power lines.
Especially great for foreigners (or city-slickers) who haven't heard a kookaburra laugh, a cockatoo screech or haven't come up close with king parrots who join you on the fabulous deck for breakfast (almonds preferred!).
Sightings of kangaroos are pretty much guaranteed. One night we had a family (including mother and joey) come within 5 meters of the cottage.
Why drive hours when you can have this all so close to Melbourne?
Scott and Jen are also great hosts who are happy to introduce you to their animals, the goats, steers, horses and dogs.
