"Good comfy stay"

"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."

" Absolutely stunning! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the beauty of the house and it's surroundings. The house itself has a unique charm, is spacious, very beautifully decorated, quality linen and comfortable beds. The house has everything you could ask for. The garden is beautiful and very well maintained. Overlooking the enormous ferns from the window was my favourite spot in the house. Close to the General store and Brewery. Stevenson Falls is only about a 10min drive and well worth a look. The falls are gorgeous, so is the drive. Barb and Greg were incredible hosts. They went well out of their way to make sure we were catered to and well looked after. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. We will most definitely be back. Thanks so much for having us!"

"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. "
