There isn’t one thing we could think of that wasn’t available. This is a clean, well thought out and superbly hosted house. As my husband says ‘I would book this place again in a heatbeat’. You won’t be disappointed.

Our honeymoon became a dream because of the perfection of this property, the view, the eye to details in every aspect. The reception, the complimentary hamper which we could not finish as there was SO MUCH. Wanted to thank the owners for making our honeymoon an unforgetable time of our lives by providing the perfect hideaway!

Cosy romantic getaway

We loved our stay at the cottage. Bryan and Joan were super accomodating. They did go the extra mile by having a welcome bag with goodies, milk, eggs, wine, crackers and more provided. I thought that was a nice touch. The corner seat was my favoritr part. It would even be nice in the winter time as there was a wood fire as well. We will definitely stay there again.

Sublime accommodation

Having just spent a delightful week at Points South we would highly recommend both the cottages and Bryan's hospitality. The location is perfect - being about 15 minutes from Apollo Bay and overlooking a pristine stretch of coastline. Spotting koalas that reside on the property was a bonus and something guests with children are sure to enjoy. Everything possible has been carefully thought through, and to a high standard, to make a stay comfortable and relaxed. This ranges from a supplies hamper including wine on arrival through to luxury toiletries. We hope to return one day.

Magical 3 nights in heaven

Fantastic sea views from everywhere, super comfy accommodation and the best host! When I saw this property from Stayz I was wondering how this one has average rating of 5/5 from almost 200 reviews and I know why now. It's not only a good accommodation with nice views in a great location but also the host Bryan who is genuinely interested in guest's comfortable and enjoyable stay and he puts his best effort to make it happen. That is why PointsSouth is 5/5, not 4.8~4.9/5 Thank you very much Bryan and we will be back soon in a heart beat! Our little boy says thank you too :)

Amazing Hospitality & Property!

All we can say is WOW! The Cottage (#2) was beautifully presented with everything you could need for your stay including a very generous welcome pack from the host. The views over the bay for sunrise and sunset are incredible and Bryan is the most amazing host we've ever met - personable, friendly and professional. Location is fantastic just 15 mins from Apollo Bay and you'll have the most amazing time here whether you choose to chill out and watch the views or enjoy the many local sites. We will definitely be back! Any questions please feel free to ask!

Superb, Brilliant, fantastic

Had the most amazing break. A perfect cottage that is immaculately maintained and equipped. Everything was lux and the view was to die for. We lit the fire as the evenings were cool and sat inside enjoying a wine - perfection. Visit this accommodation. You won't be disappointed. Cheap it isn't but then luxury costs.

Perfect getaway

My cottage was everything I wanted it to be for my winter getaway- with stunning ocean view and access to beach, it was warm and cosy, clean, well equipped, comfortable, and quiet, except for sounds of the pounding surf, and twittering birdlife. Bryan was welcoming, generous, informative. I highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Bryan James

Host profile image
My wife and I have been self employed business people and after over 30 years in business decided we needed a sea change.
We left the hustle of the city for the tranquility of the Apollo Bay and Great Ocean Road.

Why they chose this property

We were mesmerized by the views.

What makes this property unique

With the ocean on one side and the rain forest on the other, where else would you want to be!
