The property features stunning attractions including the bushland reserve, with its walks, abundant birdlife and resident koala and bush wallaby populations.

Gorgeous spot!

We loved staying here - close to the beach, yet secluded and quiet. Loads of bird sounds in the morning, and a lovely verandah to enjoybit from. Kitchen/dining/living is small but plenty for the 4 of us. We'd love to stay again.

A fantastic house

Eric the Red is more of an experience than a house. Being partially built from the eponymous shipwreck, the history of the place is fascinating - Tim's fascination is catching! There is a wealth of information to capture the imagination. As well as this, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the space warms up easily, the shower is hot and strong. The birdlife is abundant, and the privacy of the house in the area is a definite bonus - all we could hear was the sea. Thank you, Tim - it was unforgettable!

A great place to unwind!

Tim's house which is in a very quite setting opposite a reserve and has a very cosy cottage feeling about it. The place is well equipped, very comfortable, clean, has a big veranda (equipped with BBQ), is 3 minute walk to the beach and less than 15 minutes walk to the Apollo Bay shopping centre. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful and there was even a resident koala on a tree at the front. Overall, a really great place to unwind. My family is looking forward to visiting again. Thanks. Chris , Miranda and Patricia,

Thanks Chris, Miranda and Patricia, I agree it is a great place to unwind! The koala(s) are getting more adventurous. This is the first time one has been found in the front tree:) I do hope you come again. Tim

Nice location

The house was quite old and did smell a little musty (particularly the wardrobe in master). Overstuffed with too much furniture. Otherwise not too bad. Fire was nice but the book said you have to buy your own wood if you finish the bag they provide. We did see the koala, he was in the tree in the neighbors property.
Resposta de VrboOwner em 26 de jul. de 2023
Thanks for your feedback. We try to keep the house aired, especially after vacant winter spells. If the bean bags or extra chairs get in the way, feel free to move them around. I will leave some wood if I can.

Quaint cottage opposite bushland reserve, note second residence

Loved the quaint cottage, birdlife and quiet neighbourhood. We did not like being told after we had booked that the photographs misrepresented the cottage. A new, second building is built immediately to the rear of the little house. On the Stayz photos this area shows as a lovely garden, but it is now a new building that the owner uses to live and work from. This should have been disclosed upfront and I hope the owner heeds our advice and updates the Stayz photos. The owner was inobtrusive and although causing some early anxiety, this late disclosure did not negatively impact our holiday.

Thank you Lyn for your comments:) I have updated the photos of the cottage and the back shed/office. I rarely stay in the back unit if I am renting, but I will leave a note in the description if I am staying!

Comfortable and homely.

Retreat is the word for this cosy, quiet opportunity to relax away from it all. For a break from relaxing, fishing the local beach is exhilerating (although this time I didn't catch anything worth keeping, I'll be back). We also enjoyed the walk to Shelly Beach in the nearby Great Otway National Park.
Resposta de VrboOwner em 26 de jul. de 2023
The walk to Shelly Beach has great views to the west from Bald Hill. Once over the hill there are the wide, flat reefs to explore at low tide. The shells come from here and get trapped with the tides at Shelly Beach... Hint. Try fishing for sweep at low tide with a small swell.

Cosy little cottage

We enjoyed our stay. It was a little cold on the first night. But other than that we had everything we needed. A few lovely little touches with extra condiments in the cupboard.

HI LeeAnne, yes I like to leave any unused extras in the cupboards for others who may need them later. What goes around comes around, as they say!

Great house in a quiet, private location

My wife, 2 young children and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at "Eric the Red Heritage Retreat". The house is at the end of a very quiet road and hence very private. We felt completely comfortable letting our young children run around in the front yard and loved the visits from the colourful rosellas. The beautiful Marengo beach was a short stroll away. It was great to have the wood fire / oven for the cold June nights! We will definitely stay here again.
Resposta de VrboOwner em 26 de jul. de 2023
Thanks Matt, the birds are a delight and yes the beach is great for young kids. At the Marengo end of the beach, the reef platform has plenty of rock pools to explore for when the kids get a little older.

Great property in an excellent location

Eric the Red was perfect for my wife and I and two young kids. Well appointed and reasonable priced house and the beds were very comfortable and warm! We didn't see the koala. Maybe next time!
Resposta de VrboOwner em 26 de jul. de 2023
Hi Brian, I'm pleased you were comfy and warm. Maybe Francis (the Koala) found a warmer tree nearby. Sometimes we get 2 or even 3 (a mother and young one) in the trees out back or either side of the property. Hopefully you will see them next time!

Warm and Cosy

We spent a long weekend here in May and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It looked great on the site but is even better when you see it. Everything we needed was provided. The birds were wonderful and the bushland opposite was lovely. It was a peaceful position. Great it you like wildlife and nature! We will be back. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent stay!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Eric The Red Heritage house. This unique house is for those who love to relax in a quiet bush land setting and enjoy the delights that nature has to offer in the surrounding area. The property, situated in a quiet street contains all the comforts needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The house overlooks the Marengo Flora and Fauna bush land reserve which has some interesting walking tracks. It is a short walk to the Marengo beach and the Marengo Reefs and Marine Sanctuary where one can go surfing, snorkeling or hire kayaks to go seal spotting. The large verandah on the front of the house is the perfect spot to simply contemplate or read a book. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the couch on the verandah, soaking up the Winter sun and watching the many birds that frequent the garden. I was even lucky enough to spot the resident Koala. Definitely be back for a longer stay next time!!!
Resposta de VrboOwner em 26 de jul. de 2023
Hi Marg, thanks for the review! Yes it is a pretty unique, old house, which I set it up as a nature retreat this year. I'm pleased you found the walking tracks. A map of the tracks has just been put up by the Friends of Otway National Park group. It is at the beginning of the fire access track at the corner of Telford and Newcombe Streets (around the corner at the end of Telford street). There are a few other unmarked tracks through the reserve as well that eventually link up. One starts over the road at the front of the house near a clump of trees. Later I will get around to putting up posters of birds, fungi and wildflowers, for those interested.

Sobre o anfitrião

Anfitrião: Tim Godfrey

Imagem do perfil do anfitrião
Born and raised in the Western district. Lived in Apollo Bay for 30 years and now based in Cairns. Favourite location: Marengo Reefs Marine Sanctuary. Likes: beach-combing, surfing, writing and reading.

Por que o anfitrião escolheu essa propriedade

In 2008 the "Eric The Red" house was relocated from Apollo Bay to Marengo by the current owner. A book on 'Eric The Red' shipwreck, and other books on a variety of subjects including bird watching, marine life and local history, are available to read.

O que faz essa propriedade ser única?

The house is an authentic original settlers cottage, with additional modern features, like air-conditioning, modern bathroom, washroom, as well as front and back deck areas. Local split timber and ship timbers from the wheelhouse can be seen in the passage way and on the floors inside the house. Rough-sawn timber cladding is on the outside. The house reminds us of the benefits of a simple lifestyle. It is surrounded by coastal birdlife, the Otways forest, and close to the beach. The shore platform at Marengo is teeming with marine life which can be seen at low-tide. This is a classic getaway along Australia's Great Ocean Road.
