Booked online from UK. Within hours had a reply from Karen recommending places to eat before we arrived. Unfortunately she specified from other direction. Not to worry, within minutes of me asking for anything the other side, Karen replied. What customer service and we were still 3 weeks away from visiting! We arrived a bit late. No problem, hot drinks... More

This elegant and welcoming spot was exactly what we needed after a long and windy trip down the ocean road. Great value, beautiful surroundings, private veranda. Thr room itself was small, made for by the attached veranda and common room. We only wish we could have stayed longer. There is a sign on the main road which was essential as... More

A fine Bead & Breakfast between the Great Ocean Road the Grampions national park. At arrival we got a warm and personal welcome by Karin. She advised us to use the meal in the historical "Boggy Creek Pub". Something special. We spent the evening with Karin and her grandchildren, really cosy. Our bedroom, the bed and the bathroom were excellent.... More

Imagine a long veranda, a blue-blue sky, yellow fields to the horizon and silence interrupted from time to time by a deep sound of a bird - this is butterfly farm. Imagine a charming house with period features, decorated and furnished to a perfect taste - this is butterfly farm. Imagine cheerful, well travelled people welcoming you. They have collected... More

A perfect place to chill, and take time to be spoilt. A big thank you to Karen and John for all the hard work they have done to provide a special place. It is a little isolated, but that is part of the charm. We could not fault the gorgous facilities provided, and the additional unexpected goodies. You would not... More

We stayed here for one night in suite 1 which is the more private suite out of the two. It was a neat experience staying in a building that was over 100 years old, without forgoing any modern conveniences. Our suite was furnished with period style pieces, along with a four poster bed. Karen was very helpful, giving tips to... More

We spent 2 fantastic days at Butterfly Farm, in a restored barn, with 4 poster bed, a big bathroom and a cosy parlour. Possums came over to the veranda during the night and in the morning a delicious breakfast, with home made bread, was ready for us. Plenty of places to dine nearby and all the attractions of the GOR... More

We stayed here in August 2011 on the advice of Tripadvisor. It lived up to its reputation and we would love to go back. Karen and John were very kind and welcoming. The house and gardens were beautiful. There were a lot of little homely, decorating touches throughout the house. We stayed for two nights; one night in each room.... More

We stayed here for 1 night on Tripadvisors recommendation and were not disappointed. The accommodation consisted of a sitting room with armchairs, tv, fridge (complete with homemade slice to have with our tea and coffee), & piano. Our bedroom had a 4 poster bed, and well as a single. Bathroom was large and clean. The one thing I noticed upon... More

Thank you for your positive comments and for taking the time to bring to our attention the "old" smell you noticed when entering the sittingroom.We have worked out that this was coming from a "vanilla" fragrant diffuser and we have now removed it thereby eliminating this aroma. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you would stay... More
