The Original Otis House in Bendigo (where the idea started) has burnt down. :(
Sadly, the original Otis Getaway House (from where the whole idea of providing a break for those with BC started ...) burnt down last week in Bendigo.
Chief executive officer Claire Culley said the loss of Mandurang property Bramare last week was big - they are looking for another local property until Bramare is repaired.

The Otis foundation was established in honour of Judy Burley, who died at the age of 36 after a battle with breast cancer.
Ms Burley wanted other people with breast cancer to experience the peace and comfort she enjoyed at Bramare — the dream home she and her husband, Andrew Barling, built.
Luckily the 6 guests staying at the time, all got out unharmed, but the house was a write off :(Chief executive officer Claire Culley said the loss of Mandurang property Bramare last week was big - they are looking for another local property until Bramare is repaired.
