"Fantastic cottage! Great location, loved waking up to the kookaburra's in the morning and it was wonderful to have the dogs stay too - they loved sniffing around the yard and watching the birds out through the lovely big lounge/dining room window. Nice peaceful spot and so close to Lorne and Birregurra if one feels like exploring. Can't wait to visit again!"

"It was fantastic how dog friendly the place was. We had a great time and so did the puppies! The location was close enough to town but had the feeling of being on your own in the absolute iddle of nowhere- was great! the big enclosed yard was great for the dogs to roam and explore. Overall had a fabulous time and will definately be back :)"

"Our stay was fantastic! Great place to stay not only for us but our very small FUR CHILD who was compleatly safe in the surrounds. Fur child Jasper just loved wandering up to the girls (CHOOKS)and watching them in awe. It was great getting up looking for eggs in the morning and being able to cook them for brekkie. The attention to detail was great even down to fresh herbs in the garden which we used in salads to rhubarb that I cooked for desert! We will be back ! Michelle ,Ilias, and Jasper (fur child) He tells all his friends how great it was."

"We had an awesome time at the farm house. Its was nice to wake up to the soounds of the birds. No nice of the traffic or people. We found about 8 eggs in total...so we have fresh eggs every morning for b'fast. We caught over 100 yabbies, the were till large enough to feed on. The spa and the wood fire were awesome as it was a cold w'end...but it didn't stop us from getting into the spa and enjoying the view of the surrounding farm lands. Plenty of wood for the fire was provided. The 2 dogs had an absolute ball...had a lot of space and safe fencing... towels, bowls and chains were provided. A rechargable torch was provided.

Felt very safe and cosy. Thank you and will definately go back."

Guest rating: 4/5  - Tina, VIC - January 08

"Accommodation was brilliant. Easy to find, very open, lovely countryside. Was travelling with 2 two year olds and an 18 month old so would have liked to know beforehand that there were very open stairs there that couldn't be blocked off with, say, a chair. Otherwise, perfect and will go back when my mob are stair friendly.

My dogs just loved it. A great holiday for everyone."
