Barongarook house rentals

The most well equipped home we have ever stayed in. The home was beautifully furnished and was so comfortable and welcoming this home is a credit to its owners.

A beautiful country cottage with everything you need. Very homely and comfortable. Whilst it was isolated, it was 20 mins to Forrest (brewery) Gellibrand (brewery), and not from from beautiful locations including Elizabeth lake, amazing walks and waterfalls. lots of animals including cows (but far enough to not be noisy). Great mountain biking too. Highly recommend.

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.

Perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. Peaceful, central location. Phoebe has thought of everything to ensure a great stay.

A beautiful place tucked far away in the bush with incredible view across the valley with not a soul to be seen other than the roos and cows. The house is lovely and comfortable, we loved the outside deck area too. Beds are comfy, kitchen had everything we needed (loved the coffee machine) and the bathroom shower is great. The perfect retreat to escape the world, it was hard to leave.

Overall a very comfortable freshly renovated home. Very clean and tidy, just unpack and relax.We were in town for a family funeral and it was nice to come back to somewhere that felt so homely..

Comfortable, relaxing, great for mountain biking. Relaxing on the deck ❤️

We had a great stay. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed having a fire at night and making use of the games in the shed. Great set up and really close to town too! Thanks so much for having us 😊
