Additional Information

OLD DAIRY DETAILS
On entering The Old Dairy a large hallway provides ample space for muddy boots or sandy shoes. A sideboard stores spare blankets, a picnic rug, hot water bottles and local tourist information and maps.

There is one bedroom with a queen size bed and a single trundle bed. In the main living space there is a single daybed. All bedding is supplied.
We also have a travel cot(pleases if you require this to be supplied) but you would need to bring your own cot bedding.

The spacious open plan living space is comprised of a comfortable lounge area, the separate day-bed, a large dining table and a well equipped kitchen.
There is a wood fire with a plentiful supply of firewood and kindling; a selection of books, magazines and board games; there is no TV but there is free wi-fi and a bluetooth speaker.

The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a small fridge, a microwave, a kettle, 2 stovetop coffee pots and a toaster. There is a large selection of pots, pans, crockery and utensils. We also supply freshly ground coffee and a selection of teas, also, depending on availability - fresh eggs and fresh vegetables from your host's garden.

The bathroom has a toilet, sink and shower (no bath, sadly). Towels, face washers and soaps are supplied.

The Old Dairy yard is equipped with a bbq, picnic table, deckchairs, and a chiminea. The paddock has large established trees (often home to our visiting koalas) and a young orchard.

There is a carport for one car and plenty of space for more.

My husband Mike, myself (Helen) and our two sons are very excited to be sharing our little Old Dairy, we lived here for several months when we moved to Fish Creek in 2014, then it was in a very sorry state. The surrounding paddock was waist high with grass and surrounded by huge pine trees. We've enjoyed re-vegetating the land, planting new trees, adding a veggie garden and giving the land a new-life. We hope you like the dairy as much as we do!

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have sole access to the Old Dairy and the Dairy Yard and shared access to the paddock at the rear of the yard.

The old dairy was a very cute little get away. I loved all the plants inside, very lovely touch. The wood heater made the home very cosy. There place felt like a home to me , somewhere I could definitely live.

The Old Dairy at Fish Creek is the perfect spot for a country get away. Hidden away off a country road, tucked in amongst trees and garden, it offers a serenity only the country can. The style is warm... and cosy which is enhanced by the wood fire and there are so many thoughtful details that made my stay so relaxing. One, of which, was the gloves for handling the firewood. Another was the few items of fresh produce left on the kitchen table on my arrival that made it so welcoming.
It is an ideal location for exploring south Gippsland and the Prom and is also a great spot to retreat to for some peace and quiet. My favourite part was sitting outside in the sunshine while enjoying my morning coffee and watching the birds.

I love being outdoors and am happiest when pottering in the garden and exploring the hills and beaches of South Gippsland with my husband Mike and my two sons. I co-own and run The HandMakers Store in Fish Creek, a craft collective stocking the works of local creatives. You'll find that there is a great appreciation for art, craft and handmade, local fare here in Fishy. I hope you like it as much as we do!

Sunset At Mt Nicoll

We decided to check out the sunset from nearby Mt Nicoll. Only ten minutes away from the Old Dairy, this was an easy choice. A short five minute hike through bushland leads you to the top for panoramic views of the surrounding hills and towards Wilson's Prom. The golden glow over the hills was phenomenal, we watched the sun go down with the local roos and wallabies.
Sunset is my pick for the best time to visit. The drive up the hill is a little steep on loose gravel and may not suit smaller cars.

Swimming Surfing

Waratah Bay (12 minutes drive) is a great beach for swimming, the expanse of beach means it is never crowded, even in peak summer. Further west, Walkerville is great for exploring with its beautiful coastline of rock pools and caves. To the East, Sandy Point offers great surfing.

Sandy Point Beach

A stunning stretch of coastline awaits fifteen minutes from the Old Dairy. We picked Sandy Point beach for a nice morning walk and some cool ocean air. Whilst not quite swimming weather, we still ended up a little wetter than planned. The whole stretch from Sandy Point to Walkerville is worth a look and we enjoyed a cruisey drive to check out the South Gippsland coast.

Kayaking

You will find the Darby River on your drive into Wilsons Promontory. The river winds it's way with views of the mountains before flowing into Whisky Bay. Tidal River is located within Wilsons Promontory National Park and flows into Norman Bay. You can also kayak or stand up paddle at Tidal River.

Day At The Prom

Wilsons Prom is a must when down this way. The weather was warm, with little wind, so it was a perfect day for the Prom's beaches. A controlled burn thwarted our attempt at visiting Whiskey Bay or Squeaky beach, so Norman Beach in Tidal River was the go. A great beach for swimming with kids as the river mouth snakes its way into the ocean and provides calm and warm water to bathe in. The imposing views of Mt Oberon and the trademark orange tinted rocks of the Prom really make this a scenic delight. We relaxed the day away on the beach and even grabbed some small, clean and fun waves on the surfboard.

Wilsons Promontory National Park

Wilsons Promontory offers secluded pristine beaches and coastal forests set alongside the backdrop of the National Park's granite mountains. A range of hiking opportunities are available at the prom, from taking in pristine beaches, temperate rainforest, towering sand dunes or lookouts offering spectacular panoramic views.
