20.01.2022 Otways Loft Forrest www.dufflebird.com.au/en/787163/otways-loft Our original design theme was loosely based on a hunters lodge. This morphed toward a writers cabin in the woods, when three things came together.... In 2004, I put in a ridiculous absentee bid on a few items at Kerleys Auction house in Geelong. My low-ball bids were out stripped on all but a cute old typewriter. Shortly after Mike came home with a dusty picture of Ernest Hemingway, found at a garage sale. Lastly a family member dropped off an old school desk. These three items now reside in the Hemingway room, a log lined upstairs bedroom with a private balcony. Rather than sticking to the hunters theme we decided a writers cabin seemed more in sync with our guests. Our visitors tend to be creative curious types with a passion for experiencing nature at a slower pace. : @loveandforage
