About this property
Southern Comfort, Princetown
Enjoy the privacy of a secluded cottage, set on one acre. Surrounded by farmland and the coastal scrub of Port Campbell National Park, the closest neighbours are a kilometre away in the little village of Princetown.
Explore the rugged coastline of the Shipwreck Coast and visit beaches off the beaten track.
The iconic 12 Apostles are a 2 minute drive from the house. See Gibson Steps and Loch Ard Gorge on your way to the sea side town of Port Campbell, just 10 minutes away. Port Campbell offers a safe swimming beach with lifeguards over the summer period, as well as cafes and a pub.
In the other direction, lies the village of Princetown and the mouth of the Gellibrand River where the locals swim.
A real get away
Southern Comfort is exactly that. Comfortable accommodation right near the Southern Ocean.
Situated on the famous Great Ocean Road, the cottage sits in an elevated position on the one acre block.
The Great Ocean Walk runs along the cliff up behind the property.
Parrots, eagles, swamp harriers and willy wagtails are often seen. Kangaroos and wallabies live up along the clifftop.
With no neighbours, feel free to be as noisy as you like. There's plenty of grassed area to play footy and cricket.
Enjoy stargazing on clear nights. With the closest lights over a kilometre away at Princetown, you'll be amazed at the darkness of the night sky and the clarity of the stars.
A Pet Friendly Property
Furry friends are welcome, however note that the property is not fenced, so it is only suitable for dogs who don't wander. Furbies are welcome inside the house. There is a fabulous dog minding service in Princetown, so if you are planning on going on some day trips or visiting the national parks, you can have your dog looked after while you're out and about. Details are in the notes provided.
The house offers a fully equipped kitchen, including a microwave and full sized fridge/freezer.
An open plan living/dining area features a wood fire with stone surround. (with a fire guard) There is also a split system for heating and air conditioning.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. The second bedroom has a single trundle bed. There is a separate bathroom and toilet.
Please note that as we live a long distance from the property, we are sometimes unable to take last minute bookings. We never take overnight bookings.
Please note that the house is only suited to a maximum of 5 people.
Please also note that we do not have television reception due to the location of the house. There is a TV for DVD's and videos. We don't have wifi at the property but there is mobile reception.
(Please note that you need to provide your own linen, towels, bath mat and tea-towels. We do not have rubbish collection, so we ask that you take your rubbish with you.)

About the host
Hosted by Alan & Liz Flaherty
We've been lucky enough to own Princetown since 2001. We've had lots of fun times and adventures down there. Our kids grew up having bonfires, an acre to run on and camp with friends and best of all the tranquility of nature.
We love sharing our cottage with other people and hope that our guests love it as much as we do. We've always taken a furbie with us and it's so wonderful to see how much they love the space, so we're very happy for people to take their precious furbies and they're welcome inside the house.

Why they chose this property
The words that come to mind when thinking of Princetown are seclusion, privacy, nature, freedom, adventure, bonfires, massive sky, brilliant stars, kangaroos, echidnas, peace and quiet.
What makes this property unique
We're in a unique location, just down the road from the 12 Apostles.
