We had a fantastic stay! The hospitality was top-notch, and the communication was seamless from start to finish. Our dogs absolutely loved the spacious, secure backyard—it’s a true rare find for pet owners. Honestly, the photos on the listing don’t do this place justice; it’s much cosier and more charming in person. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Olive Sage

Host profile image
We are a retired couple (ex teachers) who enjoy travelling and meeting people. Our permanent home is in N E Victoria, the Orbost home is our holiday house.

Why they chose this property

Our daughter, son in law and two grandchildren live in Orbost and as it is a long drive from home for us, we purchased Gordon Street as a base when we visit. We loved the quiet street, the proximity to the Main Street and our daughter’s house. We also like older houses and so this one appealed to us.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy spending time in Orbost and exploring the beautiful countryside and activities East Gippsland has to offer. There are still many new places to explore, beaches to walk, camp spots to discover. Orbost is a friendly town and we feel very welcome here.
