I stayed at The Barn for 3 nights for a relaxing getaway in the Dandenongs (coming from inner suburbs of Melbourne). Toni's place was perfect for this - setup with everything I needed, a great price, beautiful garden, comfortable and hospitable, and with plenty of thoughtful touches.
I recommend it to anyone who resonates with the description.
I enjoyed quite a few of the local cafes, within a 20 minute drive. There are also many forest walks that can be found easily by searching 'walks near me' in google maps. They have varying types of vegetation too. I felt very lucky. :-)
