The cottage is located on a farm between Barwon downs and Forrest. A short drive to Forrest general store for a daily coffee highly recommended. Day trips to Lorne and Apollo bay are also recommended if you are comfortable with the windy roads in the area. Erskine falls is also not far and worth a look, overall a very scenic and relaxing trip.
Easy to find and once there very clean and tidy. Fully equipped kitchen, comfotabel lounge and bedding. Good internet connection and full tv streaming access. Waking to bird song and kookaburra calls we started our days with breakfast on the verandah, surrounded by bush and overlooking the farm and cows, spent our days exploring the otways' many waterfalls and walking trails, with our evenings catching up on crime tv. Lovely cottage and very helpful host, highly recommended for otways and great ocean road holidays. My dog loved it here too.
What a lovely cottage to unwind and forget the stresses of the world. The pics don’t do this place justice to be honest.
Gorgeous little property located on a working farm. Quiet and clean it suited us perfectly. The host was very responsive to our needs. We will definitely be back!
Outage in a beautiful location, and easy to get to nearby towns
Great property and yard for a weekend stay with your best furrriends! Had everything we needed & yard big enough for dogs to stretch their legs!
The perfect spot for a base whilst checking out the Ottways
The cottage was lovely the view was great our dog loved the enclosed space to roam around & close to great walks & nature loved the peace & quiet too : )
Great location, cozy and clean. Safe for dogs, peaceful and quiet. Just what I needed, nice!
We had a lovely time over Easter. The house has everything you need and kids really enjoyed it. Easy access to walks, trails and the coast. The host was helpful and it was easy to check in.
Cosy cottage, tranquil bush surroundings. Host Jean is very responsive and helpful. Our dog Shorty loved the enclosed back yard.
It was enjoyable. We liked the peace and the location. The owners are excellent communicators and we appreciated their concern when our dog escaped their fenced yard. I’m sure they will resolve the fencing security for future pet owners!
Overall a lovely stay and will recommend to others. Could do with a water filter to eradicate gumleaf tannins. Only left with warm water in the evening for showers. Although great being pet friendly, small dogs can easily pass through the fencing. There was only three of us staying there and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It was comfortable and well stocked with bedding, kitchen wear and games. From what i can see there is bedding for 6 and additional 2 on the couch. Definitely worth inquiring into. I would be happy to stay there again. Thanks Jean Regards Lyndon.
We loved the family and dog friendly property. The gorgeous cows at the fence were an added bonus.
We had a relaxing few days to recharge amongst nature. We especially enjoyed the morning coffees out on the patio greeted by the cows. The cottage was clean, simple and everything we needed to enjoy a few days exploring the otways.
Loved the property.. perfect for pets too..
Beautiful property on a Cow farm. It was 3 of us and a dog and we had more than enough space to unwind and relax. Electricity, Heating was fine. Netflix available on TV. Hosts extended our stay upon request at last minute. Very supportive of my partner who injured her back, allowed us as much time as we needed to checkout. Would go back.
Simple, clean and lovely! Just what we wanted for a few days away in a bush setting, amongst the trees. Very comfortable, so many different birds and a fabulous view from the veranda - perfect for enjoying a cuppa. Looking forward to going back again already!
Really enjoyed a quiet stay in this lovely little cottage. Great enclosed area outside for pets as well.
We really enjoyed our stay and so did our dogs.
We had a great time and property met our needs as family with dog!
A warm and comfortable stay for our family and 3 dogs. Everything we required was either at the property or a short drive away. Jean was a wonderful host and we look forward to returning soon.
Jeannie was really understanding and amenable to changes we had to make to our booking and was easy to communicate with. The property was neat and quiet and matched the description in the listing.
Excellent owner interactions.
Jean was extremely accommodating. The place was basic but reminded me of farm stays from my youth. Great place to base an Otways holiday.
