Ocean Grove Gem

It’s a cut above a caravan park, in an easy to access, small group of cabins. It feels like a well-appointed apartment and is close to the main beach. A great stay

A beautiful coastal cottage south of Geelong.

Loved the property. A very short walk to an amazing swimming/surfing beach. And also a 10 minute or less walk to groceries and liquor shops and restaurants. Wished I could have stayed longer. The kitchen was nicely stalked with everything you would need. I would highly recommend “Surf Cottage” to anyone booking in Ocean Grove.

Everything you need is provided! Even the things you forget!

Clean, compact and partially private. They thought of everything you could want or need. This stay was the first of many where I did not have to pop out for anything I’d forgotten because Stewart and Faye thought of everything! The location was close to shops, restaurants and most importantly, the beaches. And after a long day out, it was divine to soak in that amazing deep bath. Well done Stewart and Faye! Highly recommend it!

Cosy log cabin in perfect location

So close you can hear the ocean. A cosy comfortable log cabin in a treed and well tended native garden. Well priced and excellent location 10 mins walk from shops and 2 mins walk from beach. The cabin is in a village of other log cabins but with plenty of privacy being well spaced out and with mature gardens. Good communication with owners.

Enjoyable

3 ladies in our 70s loved the close location to the beach although a bit windy for a swim we paddled and walked a lot. The accomodation was great with good storage in the 2nd bedroom as well which often is not the case when we go to some places. Thanks again

Everything you need for a little get away

Surf Cottage is a perfect two-bedroom cottage for a small family getaway. The owners have thought of absolutely everything to make it feel like you're at home - games, DVDs, books, ample crockery and cutlery, comfy beds, a huge bath, even extras like cookbooks and kids wetsuits! Our only issue was we were only visiting to attend a nearby music festival and so didn't have time to fully enjoy everything the cottage and the nearby area had to offer. We'll be back!

Exceeded Expectations

Surf Cottage is a true gem. In my opinion, the pictures provided undersell its loveliness. It truly is a short, easy walk to the beach (and the wonderful Dunes cafe!) and the main street is also within walking distance. The cottage contains all the facilities you'll need during your visit (yes, even a washing machine). The hosts were easy to contact and always answered promptly. I didn't meet them in person, but all communications were cordial and helpful. I've recommended this accommodation to my friend and family, and I expect we'll visit again, too!

One of the best accommodations we have ever stayed at. It oozed class and comfort throughout. The attention to detail throughout was extraordinary. We would most certainly stay again and and are already recommending it to our friends. It has been a pleasure communicating with you both Regards Frank and Gladys.
