Shedquarters

Winter get away

Such a peaceful location. We loved sitting out by the fire pit listening to the birds at dust. The shed is well kitted out. We cooked over the fire pit using out camp oven but also used the butane cooker inside. The kids made good use of the pool table and dart board when it cooled off at night. Great to have a pet friendly place to walk the dog off lead. Sally was a welcoming host and even had the fire going. It’s beautiful part of the world- so close to Melbourne with Ballarat and surrounds all within 30 mins.
