Property is tidy and well kept, there is an abundance of consumables on offer from toiletries and food/condiments and the owner is very communicative and willing to assist.Couples will love the privacy and intimacy this accomodation can provide and is not far from many activities and the Lorne centre.If it wasn’t for my partner and I’s passion to explore what else this beautiful country has to offer we’d definitely return again.

Claire was a lovely host who left us fresh milk, red wine and chocolate! We enjoyed her newly renovated two bedroom cottage whilst attending a wedding nearby. Thank you Claire… we certainly know why your cottage is so popular stay! Wonderful! And yes we met the resident kangaroo!

Arriving at the Bootmaker’s Cottage, circa 1861 you are immediately greeted by a mid-Victorian cottage with its dollhouse like appearance with gingerbread features such as the white picket fence and fretwork. As we stood admiring the entrance we were momentarily distracted by the enticing ‘backduft’ wafting from the ovens of the Otway Artisan Bakery next door. The enticing scent of freshly baked bread that fills the air evoking powerful, pleasant memories of childhood. A great location for breakfast and/or lunch if you are feeling lazy and don’t want to make your own. Which is difficult considering the generous supplies provided by our host, Fleur. Orange juice, milk, thick bacon, local eggs, crusty bread, jam and every other condiment you may need. Buildings, like people, have stories to tell about their community’s and the past. Embedded in this historic structure and gardens are traces of past lives that are clues to how our ancestors lived, and how life today evolved. The cottage reflects the mid-Victorian theme of greater emphasis on ornamentation and stylised design. It is welcoming, cosy and comfortable. With a wealth of memorabilia and folklore displayed from the front doorstep and beyond provides fertile material to wonder what it was like to live nearly two hundred years ago. The cottage is ideally located as a base to explore Birregurra and beyond. Thank-you Fleur for arranging our stay and assisting us with any inquiry we had during our time here.

Was amazing, had more than we expected, entertained everyone of all ages. Thanyou for the stay, we will certainly recommend it to others or even return another time if available when we visit family next time.

My family of four, including a 4yo & 9yo, had a wonderful stay here. The hosts were super friendly and lovely to chat with. The bungalow was perfectly clean and so comfortable! The farm is lovely with sheep, alpaca and chickens. We were incredibly fortunate to see a wedge tailed eagle fly above the property! Location-wise, it’s a 30min drive to fabulous Torquay beach or roam further along the Great Ocean Rd and for supplies - just 20 mins to Waurn Ponds for everything you could need.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We loved it! Such a special te making memories with our family. A big thank you to the home owners, property manager and all involved, you made everything so easy, it was absolutely wonderful. Thank you all for going the extra mile.

Beautiful location to just get away from everything. Thank you for all the care you take to make it a home away from home.

Easily the best weekend get-away I have ever stayed at. The perfect location, a stunning house large enough for everyone, a pool complete with incredible view, veggie patch and of course ponies and goats. Thanks Maria and John for the opportunity to experience Charleson Farm for my 50th birthday. We’ll certainly be back in 2024!
