The cottage is completely self contained, supplying you with everything you should need for a short romantic break or longer relaxed stays. It is set in its own garden, with beautiful views across the valley and mountain ranges.

The cottage supplies you with all your kitchen needs, including an espresso machine; the lounge with TV, DVD, CD and a library of music and movies; the bedroom with a queen size bed. Ceiling fans keep you cool and are all you need in this stone built cottage. Enjoy your generous selection of breakfast on the balcony with the birds or later fire up the BBQ for your dinner.

There are 8 acres of gardens to explore including both native and exotics. On the 14 acre property you will also find a large natural spring that can cool you down even on the hottest of days. There are farm animals including donkeys and goats that are pat friendly and enjoy the company.

Your pet dog is welcome for an added cost.

Or if you are feeling more energetic, then there are many great days trips to be had most within an hour's drive from the property. Wilsons Prom, Inverloch, Walhalla, Mt Baw Baw to name a few. Or soak up the Gippsland Gourmet Country region with some dining out and a winery tour or shop in Yarragon.

This really is a slice of paradise set up as your home away from home.
