Very friendly greeting from Jenny on arrival, making us feel immediately welcome within her home. Provided us with a quick view of where guest lounges, dining facilities and rooms were located. From this it became immediately apparent that the homestead had a significant history, and furnishings throughout added considerable character in keeping within its era. The room was cozy, but still adequate, and contained a large, amazingly comfortable bed. The availability of guest lounges compensated very well for anyone wishing to simply stretch out and read or watch television. The bathroom was of a small size, but again perfectly adequate. , with its only fault being a lower than usual shower head. Breakfast was an absolute delight, with a large array of Continental options available. Certainly, enabling a very decent start to the day. Jenny was a great hostess and was always ready to provide whenever required and willing to share stories of both the home, its previous guests (discreetly) and attractions within the general area. The township is also an interesting place to wander through. A fabulous place to stay, and a return visit would certainly be considered if back in the area.

A lower than usual shower head.

We stayed in Birregurra so that we could do some bush walks and a platypus tour on Lake Elizabeth. The town is nice to stroll around, but small. Jenny was a great host. I loved the history of the place (a house, then a hospital, then a nursing home, now a guesthouse). There were lots of interesting rooms in the old house area, to poke around in, including a billiards room (which we used) and a theatre room. You can still see parts of the old hospital in the main areas, and in the accommodation area, it still had that nursing home feel. We loved that it was a unique experience. Jenny catered for my vegan diet, and that was really nice. Nice breakfast dining room. Parking is onsite, or out the front.

TV reception in the area, in general isn't great (but it only bothered us as we wanted to watch the cricket lol). There was also a lack of internet access in the rooms, which wasn't that big of a deal, as there was free wifi in the dining area. Unfortunately neither of our phones had reception in the area.

We loved the quaint charming decorations, the abundance of spaces to relax, the fireplace and the bacon & eggs in the morning. Loved the amount of care directed at our comfort: electric blankets & heaters in winter time, etc.

Sound proofing between rooms isn't great but that's par for the course for buildings of that era. Just be considerate when you're coming home after hours or leaving early.

Quirky, unique feel with a very good breakfast included. The hosts were super friendly and helpful Location was a stones throw from local amenities.

Some of the decor is particularly old school, which didn't bother us as we thought it added to the unique charm of the property. However the decor and the former uses of this property may put some travellers off, which is shame as its a great place to stay

This was the most quirky place I have ever stayed in. Jenny, the owner was very friendly and helpful considering we booked at the last minute and didn't arrive till after 9pm. The antiques in the place are amazing! We had a nice breakfast in the breakfast room and so got to meet a few other guests. The garden area is beautiful.

We loved it all!

Everything was amazing ! Jenny was friendly and very accomodating- a very nice cooked breakfast juice tea and coffee yummy !! A huge big fire in the front room comfy couches and a great ambiance . Lucky enough to have the whole house to ourselves - pool room also very cool !!

The heater in the back lounge wasn’t very effective but the fire in the front room made up for it !!

Breakfast was fabulous and it was fun to play some games in the pool room as a family. Everyone was friendly and kind.

We didn't realise our bathroom wasn't attached to our room and over the hall, but it was safe enough for the kids. Unfortunately the movie room didn't seem to work.

It’s a very charming property with beautiful antiques. Very silent by night, which contributed for the best sleep I had in a long time. Everything was very clean, the receptionist was very welcoming and the breakfast was great!

Nothing, everything was good.

Breakfast was fine. Location is good. Handy to Great Ocean Road and certainly a lot chepear given peak season.

Nothing all was good. Only reason I downgraded the value for money is because accommodation in general is way too expensive anywhere nowadays.

Everything about this place was beautiful and special. This hidden stay is a great get away for travellers visiting the Great ocean road. The host Jenny is very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. The guest house has a game room, theatre room, lounge, BBQ and is located close to farms with scenic sunsets. Highly recommend this place!
