Orbost - great break from the city

The property is exactly as you see. The house is well equipped with the delight of an open fire in the lounge. Spacious back yard - perfect for our dog. Short walk up to the main street and the local hotel for meals. Also a short drive (less than 15 mins) to Marlo for the ocean and there is plenty of walking opportunities within the town next to the Snowy River. This was the perfect "decompress" from Melbourne. Thank you to Olive and Alan who were always responsive leading up to the trip and the few questions I had

Comfortable and welcoming home with a big backyard

This is a lovely country home with an incredibly well-equipped kitchen and a fenced backyard that my dog loved exploring. We only stayed for one night but would have wanted for nothing if we'd been there for longer. Olive is a warm and caring host who made sure we had clear directions to the property and a comfortable stay.
