We had a lovely stay in Merricks. Donna was contactable if we needed and did her best to organise babysitting for us for Sat night. Unfort her contacts weren't available but we appreciated the effort. The house was suited to a weekend with mixed weather, we made a fire on the colder evenings and ate outside on warmer days. Lots of exploring for kids to do in the garden. Merricks Beach great and we wandered down to Stonier winery for tasting. The wine and foodstore down the road another bonus!
