The property is only 30min drive to many of the Surfcoast regions most popular beaches and tourist destinations. Winchelsea is located half way between Geelong and Colac, enroute to Lorne (30 min)(via Deans Marsh), and the 12 Apostles and Port Campbell (1.5hr Drive). Other popular tourist destinations close by are Torquay and Bells Beach (30min), Anglesea (30min), Aireys Inlet (35-40min), Bambra (15 min), Birregurra (20min), The Bellarine Peninsular (45min-1hr), The Otways, Forrest, Stevensons falls and Mountain Biking tracks (40min), and Warrnambool (2hr).

The Cottage is perfect for family groups, and it is possible to pitch your own tent in the garden or pull up in your Caravan with off street parking provided. The Garden is great for children with a trampoline to keep them occupied, and a short walk away is the beautiful Barwon river, playground, local municipal swimming pool and skate park. the property is pet friendly although we ask that animals not be allowed inside the cottage. They are welcome to sleep on the verandah and if you leave the property to go site seeing but want to leave your four legged friends behind in a safe and secure location, there is a special area / day yard for them to be secured in.

Fantastic, restful stay
Haddie’s property is extraordinary value for money. The backyard is huge and lovely. Our kids spent ours on the trampoline. It is short walk to everything in Winchelsea. The house itself is really cute and cozy. Beds are super comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful time in Winchelsea
Haidee’s place is so quaint and cosy and clean! It felt like coming home - away from home. We had everything we needed and Haidee went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable and catered for, despite there being fewer actual beds than we anticipated. But that was no error of Haidee’s and she made sure there were plenty of sleeping options when we got there - just perfect for us. Also, the garden is an absolute wonderland for kids!
