My partner and I were enchanted with 'The Beach'. The view from the bedroom was spectacular. The hostess was friendly, informative and her breakfasts were yum. After our 6 days there, we didn't want to leave.

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.

Spent a lovely weekend at Window on the Otways. We were after a secluded spot not too far from Melbourne and this property ticked all the boxes - private, amazing views and a short hop to any number of great hiking trails and Lorne. The property itself is cosy, well appointed and the hosts generously provide complimentary treats for your stay. Highly recommend.

We have stayed here 3 times now and each time we realise why we book the same house; Adam is extremely helpful and the process is easy and simple. Th we house is all it’s cracked up to be. No fuss with it’s beautiful outlook and frequent

Great

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.

My mum & I loved our stay. It’s a really comfortable and clean property with lovely homely touches. We both commented how comfortable the beds were. The garden was lovely and although we didn’t have a dog we said it would be the perfect property to bring one. Lovely town too with a couple of great coffee shops within working distance.
