The shared pool is such a special place and is solar heated all-year-round.

We can use the electrical heating and the additional charge is $30 per day to guarantee a heated pool from 26-32 degrees. If this sounds like something you'd like, please book at least 7 days in advance as the heating will de turned on 48 hours before your arrival.

Our stay in Tyabb for my husbands birthday
The property is very clean and very similar to the pictures. We had a great stay and Miriam was a great host. There was a heated pool that we enjoyed swimming in and on our last night there, we lit a fire and sat by the fire. Miriam was super accommodative and tried her best to make our stay pleasant. It was lovely to see the farm animals as well and it was a great stay which was different. It was my husbands birthday and upon request, the cottage was decorated nicely. Thank you for a pleasant stay, will recommend this place for sure! 😊
