Fantastic stay

We stayed here for a wedding at the nearby Jack Rabbit winery and it was absolutely perfect. We were a group of 6 adults and the house is big enough that we weren’t tripping over each other and it’s pet friendly. Very clean and in a quiet location. The communication with the host was excellent. Thanks Jay for a wonderful weekend away at your property and I’m sure we’ll stay there again to explore more of the area.

Everything was great, very spacious, we just lived in the kitchen family room area as there was only three adults. We didn’t even use the lounge room, perfect for families with children, close to the water and only twenty minutes into Geelong, close to other tourist places.
