The cottage has everything you need for a pleasant stay, however unfortunately I arrived in the pouring rain and a lot of mud to walk through from the car to the entry door. Bob, the host was lovely a...nd very welcoming along with his family. Unfortunately I needed to go home after one night due to a family matter so didn’t stay the remaining 2 nights. Think it’s important to note there is no TV, just DVDs, so good idea to bring some you like. Improvement suggestions to build a deck or veranda so guests could enjoy the river passing close by and maybe update outdoor furniture and add a fire pit. Good location in spring and summer.

We really enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful stay. The curious bullocks, geese and Bella round them up were fun to watch and a birds chorus every morning was a lovely way to start the day. We walked arou...nd the farm each day with views from on high and down to the bridge. We saw a wombat, kangaroos and a kookaburra. We saw beautiful rain forest at Tarra Bulga and local waterfalls - Miniha'ha and Agnes falls with views out to Wilson's Promontory. The local town of Yarrum is picturesque with a lovely park and many murals. The supermarket is great for supplies. Port Albert has delicious fresh fish and chips shops with views across the port.

Agnes Falls

About a half hour drive from Yarram, the Agnes River drops sixty metres creating a beautiful drop over many stone ledges. The surrounding grounds are well kept as a public picnic area - a delightful place for lunch. Access is from Welshpool; take the road opposite the primary school. The falls are well signposted. The falls are a 39 minute drive away.

Bushwalking

Superb Mountain Ash and Mrytle Beech provide a cool and sheltered environment for ferns and birdlife. Clearwater streams amble through the two parks, with a waterful and swing bring over a deep fern gully adding to the attractions. The walks are short and comfortable. There is nothing nicer than a picnic in the park be it to shelter during the heat of summer, or to enjoy the crispness of the air in winter. Access: From Yarram via Devon North, or from Traralgon. Note the Tarra Bulga National Park - 50 minute drive away
