We had a great stay - my friend and I had just finished hiking the Great Ocean Walk and finished in cold and rainy weather. Really appreciated the easy check-in process and the fact that the heater was on an a fire was lit for our arrival! The place was clean, cosy and had everything we needed. No dramas at all and would definitely recommend!

We arrived late in the evening- we entered the cottage with a cute fire warming up the rooms, lights on and easy to find. Very well appointed within a beautiful location.

Tranquil

This property is an excellent place to stay. Tranquil, peaceful, and private. It was exactly as described. The owner accommodated our little dog and made the process very welcoming. We loved our stay and would come back again. Highly recommended.

Nice cabin in nature

We stayed there 1 night in our Great Ocean Road trip. The cabin is clean and comfortable. We love everything in the cabin especially the fireplace. The cabin is 15-20 minutes drive from Apollo Bay. We hesitated before we booked the stay but we are very happy of our stay and glad that we booked it. We can see Milky Way at night and a koala on a gum tree nearby in the morning.

A beautifully appointed retreat

The owners have gone to great trouble to stylishly furnish the unit. It was a good location to start exploring the Otways We would just suggest 2 more dining chairs if accommodating 4 people (otherwise its really comfortable),and to replace the cutlery ( hard to butter toast with steak knives )and the dinner plates (huge!!) But its just a just a small thing compared to the lovely furnishings and surrounds More than happy to return again!

Cosy cottage in an extremely beautiful setting. Shocked at the level of cleanliness, linen looked like it had not been washed. Some level of dust is expected but this had not been cleaned. No extra pillows to be found. Appalled at the level of cleanliness. There were no other guests on the premises, not a high turnover but still a poor level of upkeep in terms of hygiene standards. Host was accomodating to exchange clean pillows but would recommend host come in every now and then to check standards are being maintained.

Thanks for having us, this was such a beautiful place to stay for Mother’s Day. A pretty, warm little spot for the family to cosy up next to the fire for a few days when we weren’t wet and sandy from the beach at Apollo Bay. Definitely recommend for a stay!
