Perfect for what we were looking for set in a quiet court right across the road from the Barron river and great walking tracks. The apartment was a home away from home and the bed was very comfortable . Jennifer was a great host and was very responsive as we booked the day before we travelled. Her attention to detail and amenities provided exceeded our expectations. Would love to return in the near future. ##### Heather S.

Beautifully designed and carefully put together apartment. Private with a great view of the Highton treetops. We really appreciated that the owners left a great red wine for us to start our weekend break with, and there was plenty of supplies like coffee and muesli in the kitchen Great location, only 10minutes from the centre of Geelong Would stay again and will recommend to others Thanks for the great stay!!! 😀 ##### Stephanie R.
