Cannot believe we found this European style stone cottage only an hour from Melbourne. The design is understated Scandi style with everything made from natural materials: stone, wood, wrought iron, ceramic tiles. We stayed on two of the stormiest and coldest nights of the year and arriving in the dark to this warm, cosy and beautiful space was unforgettable. A five minute drive to Balnarring shops one way and the surf another way...it was just brilliant. The bed had down filed pillows and was sooo comfortable...an open fireplace, record player with plenty of bluesy classic albums to play (Neil Young, Pink Floyd etc)...we didn’t want to leave.
