“A beautiful stay!
A wonderful couple who have renovated and run a great BnB in a picturesque and peaceful town on the SA/Victorian border.
Jo and Paul have filled their cottage with beautiful furniture, warm fireplaces and lots of boardgames.
If you're driving between Melbourne/Adelaide/Melbourne then take the coast road and spend the night here, really great experience.
Easily five stars.”
