Guests love Freshwater Creek Cottages for its relaxed, family friendly farm experience and genuine hospitality. Reviewers rave about feeding the animals, walking the goats, bottle feeding lambs, collecting fresh eggs and picking fruit from the orchard. The daily farm tour and tractor rides are a highlight, along with play spaces like the playground, basketball court, mini golf and tennis. Many mention how nice it is to unplug with limited internet, let the kids ride bikes and explore, and toast marshmallows around the fire.
The cottages are described as clean, cosy and well equipped, with fireplaces, BBQs and full kitchens, and special touches like fresh eggs. Popular stays include Woodcutters Cottage, Rose Cottage, Daisy Cottage, Wisteria, Willow and The Lodge, with Woodcutters noted for its spa and sauna. Several reviewers praised Farmer Phil and Farmer Dave for being warm, knowledgeable and fantastic with kids. The property is close to Torquay and Anglesea, making beach trips easy, yet still feels peaceful and rural. Many guests are repeat visitors and highly recommend it for couples and families alike.
