A beautiful, character filled loft that offered a sense of calm for a relaxing getaway. We loved the colourful décor, wood fire, stunning stained glass windows, cosy reading nook and luxe bathtub. Our... host was incredibly lovely, welcoming and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. We left feeling refreshed and recharged!

Adventures on the Property

These are the exclusive natural wonders and outdoor activities within the property boundaries.

Hopkins River

The Hopkins river runs past the property on the east. Access to the river involves crossing a quiet country road and walking to the bank. Access is less than 50 meters from the house. We have available two kayaks for visitors to use if pre-arranged. Paddling upstream will take you to the Hopkins falls, downstream towards Allansford and if the water level is high, all the way to the mouth of the river near Logans Beach.

Bbq At Sunset

Wasn't much of a sunset for us although we had good intentions and still enjoyed the BBQ vibes.

Wangoom is 10km from Warrnambool and the beautiful southern coastline.

Lunch At Lot 17

"Feed Me" menu at LOT17 for lunch where we paid a set price and trusted the chef to create us a delicious feast! Great experience. Awesome space with a vibe.

Beach Walk At Stringray Bay

Beach walk along stingray bay and across the Merri bridge towards a few lookouts. Toilets and lots of parking available.

Twelve Apostles

Take in the magnificent rugged beauty of the famous Twelve Apostles, stunning rock stacks that rise up impressively from the Southern Ocean on Victoria's wild coastline. Created by continuous erosion of the limestone cliffs beginning 10 - 20 million years ago, the storms and strong winds slowly eroded the softer limestone, creating caves in the cliffs.
