Idyllic Getaway
My family stayed a few nights at Wisteria Cottage. We loved the warmth and feel of the cottage, and maximised the most of our stay with the studio, giving everyone that bit of extra room to feel comfortable. Our dogs loved the location being right across from the water. The whole family enjoyed the large yard and made the most of the space. A great location and a lovely house made this a fantastic weekend away for the family

Wisteria Cottage
Wonderful cottage aswell as separate studio located at Indented Head. Complete with everything you could possibly need. Fabulous location. Centrally located to St Leonard's, Portarlington and Queenscliff. So much to do and see. If you are lucky you might get a glimpse of Melbourne. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We hope to visit again. Thankyou to Simon and Hazel for hosting us.
