We did not know exactly what to expect when we booked our one night at this little gem. It was just the perfect place to arrive to after our travels throughout Victoria and NSW. It was peaceful and welcoming. Janita was a wonderful no fuss host. She took time to give excellent suggestions for our extra day sightseeing in and about Geelong

Janitas communication and check in directions were spot on. She went the extra mile to make sure everything was just right, including heating the room to be warm as it was a lot colder than where I was travelling from. The rooms are inviting and cosy, with a beautiful outlook.
