This holiday, for the first time, I went on a road trip with my wife, my 16-year-old son, and our two dogs (a Labrador and a Husky).
We travelled from Sydney to Melbourne, and then from Melbourne back to Sydney.
Because this trip was decided very suddenly, we couldn’t make any reservations in advance.
After a long and tiring but unforgettable 10-day journey, this is a place we stayed for one night while heading back to Sydney.
This place… I really, really love it.
You can see the surrounding scenery all at once, it’s very dog-friendly, and the host, Leah, is incredibly kind and welcoming.
Because I had to book in a rush, I didn’t realise at first, but this place also has separate cabin-style accommodation with fully fenced areas. I also noticed a swimming pool (I’m not sure if it’s for dogs or not).
And one more unbelievable thing — the price.
This place would still be worth it even if it charged two or three times the price listed on Hipcamp.
At the end, our naughty Husky grabbed one of the chickens. I felt truly terrible and wanted to compensate, but Leah said it was okay. Still feeling sorry, I noticed they sell eggs, so I bought six dozen. When I got home and fried some eggs, there was no comparison to the eggs you buy at Woolworths — the rich flavour and aroma were amazing.
I would absolutely love to stay in the place with the pool one day, even if it’s expensive. Spending three or four nights there would be incredibly relaxing and healing.
Thank you so much, Leah
