House sit JOHANNA

Johanna sits remote along the Great Ocean Road, meaning a reliable vehicle is absolutely essential for your stay. You'll navigate winding country roads to reach any supplies, a key consideration for daily life and pet responsibilities. The nearest general store offering basic provisions and fuel is found in Lavers Hill, a fifteen-minute drive inland. For more comprehensive grocery shopping, a chemist, or any veterinary needs for the pets, Apollo Bay is a good thirty-minute drive eastward, a trip you'll likely make every few days. Daily walks with the resident dogs will be a serene affair, often along quiet country lanes or exploring tracks down to Johanna Beach. Be mindful of local regulations regarding dogs on the beach, as rules can vary with the season and specific sections. These walks provide ample space for exercise, but remember the distances involved for any emergency supplies or medical attention should a pet require it. Planning ahead for food and other household items saves time and reduces stress in this spread-out environment. Bustling café strips are absent from the immediate area; instead, you pack provisions for outings and appreciate the surrounding quietude. Your days will involve navigating drives for essentials, followed by the tranquility of the property and its immediate environs. Embracing this self-reliant approach ensures a smooth experience, making the most of Johanna's natural beauty while capably managing the household and its animal companions.
