About this property

Linen, WiFi, Family Homestead, Wood Fireplace, River, Deck

Tooram Rd, Allansford via Warrnambool, Vic, 3277

Enjoy being warmed by the open fire in the two living areas, just don't forget to bring some marshmallows to enjoy. There is also air conditioning and ceiling fans in the living area plus oil heaters in each room. Take your relaxation to the next level with enjoying a spa bath, perhaps with a glass of champagne.

Enjoy the serenity and tranquillity of this reproduction federation homestead overlooking the historic Hopkins River. This grand home has years of history and many stories within its walls. It has old world charm with the modern comforts of today’s living including unlimited NBN WiFi, plus all linen and towels supplied. The kitchen is impressive with a huge 5 burner gas stove, oven and coffee machine. Don’t worry after doing a big cook up as there’s a powerful dishwasher to take care of the washing up.

It is located at the end of the Great Ocean Road within minutes of Warrnambool, beaches, whale viewing, and 30 minutes from the 12 Apostles coastal park. Situated on 10 acres with 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms it is the perfect family retreat, offering well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests. All rooms capture the true essence of the surrounding nature.

Relax on the verandah and observe the activities of our resident platypus colony, or perhaps try a spot of fishing by the river, without even leaving the home.
Don't miss the chance to explore Warnambool's beautiful parks and beaches along with one of the many bike and walking trails, for every age and ability. Bring your bikes and circle Lake Pertobe, check out the views along the Promenade linking to the historic breakwater or ride to the whale nursery at Logans Beach. It's a cyclist's paradise!
