I had a lovely, quiet stay at John and Amanda's cottage. There was a gorgeous view out to the valley from the kitchen and bedroom windows, I spent a lot of time sitting out in the backyard watching the sky and hills change colour!
The kitchen has everything you need - a small bar fridge and little oven and two hot plates do the job for a few days. Amanda had baked some fresh bread which John dropped in when I arrived, and there was great plunger coffee and some basics like oil, butter, salt and pepper and milk which were appreciated.
The bed upstairs with views out to the tree tops was super cosy and comfy.
It's only 15 mins or so to drive to Healesville and 10 to a lot of the wineries. Was great to have the peace and quiet, but still be so close to all the YV has to offer. Autumn is a perfect time to visit - warm enough to enjoy the sunset outside, but cool enough to light the fire.
Thanks for a peaceful few days John and Amanda!
