Weekend Trip to Sommerleigh
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sommerleigh! Gorgeous location that had everything we needed, nestled in nature and surrounded by so many birds. It felt intimate and private, perfect for a romantic weekend away. The wood stove was absolutely divine and rainy weather was no problem because it was so cosy rugged up indoors by the fire watching the rain through the big windows and hearing the rain on the tin roof. Jeff was lovely and made sure we knew everything we needed to know before leaving us to it. I highly recommend this special gem of a stay!

Weekend Trip to Sommerleigh
Jeff has spent an enormous amount of time and effort in creating this special place. With 158 different bird species, set amongst the wetlands, there is a theatre of wildlife only 90 minutes from Melbourne. The room is well appointed and many finer details often overlooked on your more tradition accommodation. Everything you need is provided, just remember to read the notes before hand as we failed to do, ie bring ice for the provided esky. It's combines the best attributes of a tiny house with plenty of space to cook, sleep, chill out and relax.

Weekend Trip to Sommerleigh
My partner and I adored our weekend in this little slice of paradise! Tucked away on a tiny island in the middle of a billabong on Jeff's vineyard, it was pure peace. We were the only ones on the island, aside from many different birds. We loved waking up to their songs, and the sound of rain on the tin roof. No traffic, no other people, just nature and a beautifully quirky bushland garden dotted with old treasures. The setup was simple but magical, very clean and well maintained: two cosy tin shacks (bedroom and kitchen) plus a small loo shack with a flushing toilet! The bedroom was warm and snug with a fireplace and comfy double bed. BYO bedding. No mains power or fridge, so bring ice for the cooler and a battery pack to charge devices, though we barely touched our phones. The outdoor showers (one next to the bedroom, and one behind the kitchen) were surprisingly lovely, even in the rain, thanks to hot gas-heated water. Jeff was a friendly, funny, and accommodating host who welcomed us warmly even though we arrived a little late and in the dark. Bring a torch, hot water bottle, and warm layers in winter. Notes on accessibility: You'll need to carry all your belongings from the car over a narrow pier and gravel path, a 1-2 minute walk total, which is very doable if you're able-bodied, and Jeff said he can offer a wheelbarrow to help. A peaceful, grounding spot, perfect for bird watchers, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to truly switch off. We’ll definitely be back.

Forrest, and by extension, Forrest Holiday Park, is one of the most spectacular places on this planet. Grab a cabin and get cosy. Cruise around the tiny town. Get intimate with the surroundings. And do some trails.

Such a beautiful setup we had so much fun staying at this spot. Amazing views/landscap and the cabins are all so beautiful. The site has been set up in a really cool way. Super cosy sleep with the indoor fireplace. Great location and lots to do locally. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be heading back soon

Absolutely loved our stay! So quiet and secluded with abundant bird life. Sitting out on our little balcony at the sleeping shack we saw many birds we’d never seen before! Such a great set up and to have the whole island to yourself was magical. There’s 2 shacks, one the sleeping quarters and then a short walk is the other one being a kitchen. The toilet is then a short walk from the kitchen. Everything in the huts was so clean and what a luxury to have a flushing toilet and hot shower! Stay here and spoil yourselves and walk the 3 minutes to dine at Moonah restaurant. Just be sure to book in as it’s fine dining at the one of the best degustation restaurants you’ll find in Australia! Thanks Jeff for providing an exceptional little place where there’s so many little quirky and interesting things to see and do on this amazing property.

We had the most beautiful time away. Everything was just perfect. Jeff was incredibly accommodating to our needs and so welcoming, very easy to talk to. There was a beautiful outdoor shower with lovely warm water and incredible views. The views and birds were just stunning, many different types of birds to look at. It was quiet and remote, with beautiful stars to stare at. Make sure you bring a portable charger if you want to charge your phone because there are no power points. The kitchen facility is perfect and has everything you need. 10/10 the best stay and we feel so recharged after being there. The quiet, disconnected retreat everyone needs.

Absolutely lived up to everything I hoped for! This place has truly won my heart. The less I say, the better—anyone planning to stay should experience it for themselves. Jeff has been an outstanding host, truly top-notch! We loved every corner of the space, each area with its own unique charm. An easy, unquestionable 10/10.

French Island Cottage - Camping

70km from Barwon Heads · 4 sites · Lodging · French Island, VIC
French Island is Victoria’s best kept secret. Most of the island is national park. There are lots of koalas, echidnas, birds, wildflowers, and a general store. It’s a great place to getaway… from everything. Our cottage offers sustainable luxury, with two comfy queen-bed rooms, each has a private bathroom, plus a lounge/kitchen with a cosy fire.  There's space for four more camping nearby, sharing the facilities.This is off-the-grid living; electricity and water come from the sky, heat from burning home grown timber. Take a short walk to 5 kms of deserted beach and the national park, hang out round the fire-pit, enjoy our DVD and games library, order a meal… or a cocktail… or do nothing much at all. Our property is 75 acres of diverse wooded heath land, which we are enthusiastically rejuvenating to capture carbon. There’s a lot to see and like.
