We stayed at this lovely country B&B because we were having dinner at nearby Brae. Birregurra is over 130kms from the Melbourne CBD - even more if you're coming from the south-east suburbs, so if you're dining at Brae you're going to want to stay over somewhere!
The B&B is on the main road and really easy to find, you can park your car on the grass in front. We were welcomed by Dee and shown our room which was incredibly spacious - a large living area, bedroom and separate bathroom which was the size of a bedroom in itself. Everything has a very classy, luxurious feel to it and was incredibly comfortable. They even told us that they would drive us to dinner at Brae, which is 5 minutes drive down the road (not really walkable!).
The bathroom had a claw-foot cast iron bath which I couldn't resist, so took some time to chill out in the afternoon before dinner. It was just so nice and relaxing and to be honest, we both kind of wished we'd booked to stay an extra night to enjoy the place that bit more.
In the morning we had breakfast in the dining room at 9am - mostly local produce and absolutely heavenly. There was a plate of freshly sliced tomatoes on the table which was a lovely start to breakfast and my avocado on toast with a poached egg was better than any other Melbourne food I've had in the city. There was also freshly made bread and preserves.
All in all, this was an incredibly lovely place to stay and if you're dining at Brae, I'd recommend staying here. They'll drop you off for dinner and pick you up again so you can have some drinks and Chris and Dee are incredibly warm and friendly people who are incredibly passionate about the local area if you need advice on where to go.
Note: Free wifi throughout. Impressive Smart TV with netflix etc. Heater, ceiling fan if you need them. Coffee, tea, water provided in the room + there's the option of ordering beers, wine or a cheese plate. read more
