DOG AND PET FRIENDLY ACCOMMODATION, HAMILTON, VICTORIA.
BEAUTIFUL SELF CONTAINED COTTAGE IN PRIVATE SURROUNDINGS
Diana and John are no newcomers to the Hospitality Industry. Before retiring to Tarrington they owned a large Heritage Homestead at Whittlesea, on the outskirts of Melbourne.
The homestead accommodated up to 14 persons on any given night. Conferences were held, large dinners prepared and served. The venue was also used for wedding receptions and photography.
They have been operating at Tarrington for 8 years and many of their old clientele have followed them.
Diana and John offer genuine country hospitality, being proud to give you, our guests, more than you pay for!
