Every trip we have here is pretty perfect. Seamist Cottage is the holiday home we dream about and do our best to get back to. Never disappoints. Always planning our next escape from Melbourne as we pull out of the drive. Thank you for another magical stay.
I had an absolutely fantastic experience staying at this apartment! From the moment I arrived, everything was spotless, stylish, and exactly as pictured. The space was cozy yet spacious, with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like extra towels, coffee, and fast Wi-Fi.The location was perfect, close to everything I wanted to explore, yet quiet and peaceful for a good night’s sleep. The host was incredibly responsive, kind, and made sure everything was just right throughout my stay.I would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and reliable home away from home!Ahlam

We had such a lovely time at Simons 1850s Goldies cottage.Perfect for us, and our 2 big dogs loved the big fenced yards.They gave Simon plenty of licks when he came to show us the workings of the gate etc.We hired bikes and it was an easy 1.6km ride to town along the old rail trail.Watched some lovely sunsets and enjoyed one of the 3 fire places in the cottage on several nights.We certainly hope to return in the future and maybe do the whole rail trail from Port Fairy to Warnambool
Our family group of 8 adults and 5 children had a great short break at The Lodge. The location could not be better for our needs and the house provided everything to make for a memorable stay.
Clean, well equipped and comfortable home.Very spacious, good layout.Great views.Steep internal steps.Challenging location on very steep road for elderly visitors.Challenging
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.
