About the host
Hosted by Jo O'Byrne
We’re a Melbourne family of 6 who outgrew apartments for family holidays. We decided to find somewhere that would allow us to lay down roots and hopefully become a place that out family and their families would enjoy for generations. We love the Bellarine for its diversity, it accessibility and its lack of intensity. Here we can relax instead of recreating our Melbourne lives when we leave town.
Why they chose this property
We loved Queenscliff the first time we visited when our children were very young. We came over on the ferry at the end of a Mornington peninsula holiday week and immediately noticed the lack of crowds, the slower pace and the ease of getting around. We chose CARM Cottage after searching online for a while. It’s location sold us. So easy to get to everything but not too close to feel crowded. And we made it feel like somewhere we could just be.
What makes this property unique
CARM Cottage is an oasis of calm in our increasingly busy world. We step through the door, drop our bags and succumb to the slower pace it demands. We spend an afternoon lazing on the daybed on the sunroom reading or in the hammock under the jacaranda tree in the backyard. Or we walk to the beach for a swim or to the fish and chip shop for dinner. Either we explore the local wineries, galleries, and boutique clothing stores or do nothing at all. In winter, we light the fire, grab a drink and relax. For us, it’s our happy place. For a weekend or longer, it could be yours too.
