Richard's place is incredible and I would highly recommend a stay here. I was able to get here easily by train from Melbourne and if you are a keen walker there is plenty to do without a car. It's five minutes on foot to cafes, pubs, restaurants, or Woolies and a bit further on foot is a cinema and new craft beer and rum distillery. (The local Italian bakery has a phenomenal vegan brownie and the Indian street food place makes a lovely Dosa!) There are many walking tracks accessible without a car as long as you don't mind a few hills :) But honestly you'd be happy if you never left the property. The spacious studio is surrounded by greenery and the floor to ceiling windows frame the view in every direction. Just outside your door is a private yard with a small pond and the resident ducks are eager to meet you along with the Rosellas and Cockatoos (Richard provides birdseed if you want to make fast friends!) There are also two friendly dogs and 6 chooks. It is a great place to unwind but if you need to work remotely, the WiFi is also really good (I had to teach a few online classes during my stay and it was a breeze) There isn't a full kitchen but there's a small fridge, coffee maker, microwave, and electric fryer. So I was able to make or reheat simple meals. The bathtub is incredible and so is the shower and Richard provides robes, bath salts, and candles. While Richard is happy to give you privacy, he is also readily available to answer questions or chat about the area and I felt warmly welcomed and looked after. I am already planning my next visit...
