There’s a veranda for guests to kick back and enjoy a drink, free parking on the premises for their vehicles, and an indoor fireplace to stay warm during chilly evenings. Maru Koala and Animal Park, Western Port Intertidal Coastal Reserve, wineries, eateries, and live music venues are in close proximity, and Phillip Island is 23 kilometers (14.3 miles) away.
