Shire of Colac Otway pet-friendly rentals

House is well located, clean & warm. Large rear garden good for the dog. Easy drive to beaches and walking distance to main streets. Weather was not great but that’s not just the way it is at this time of year.All good

Really well set up for families and pup. Had everything we needed and more!

Loved the location, the house and view were amazing. Facilities were great and as advertised! Would love to visit again in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at the property. The listing does not do it justice, it was very comfortable and a great location with stunning views the moment you walked in.

We stayed in Rivernook with our 2 dogs. Absolutely beautiful location with rolling hills one side and beach the other. Well equipped cottage, comfy beds. Had some kangaroos come to visit as well. Will definitely stay again.

Great hosts, peaceful location, clean and cosy accommodation. Wonderful flora and fauna

Our family (5 people over 3 generations) had a relaxed and comfortable stay in this lovely property. On the plus side: the gardens are extensive, great for kids and dogs to roam in. The kitchen is well set up with a good coffee machine and everything you need to make your own meals. Great fireplace in the centre of the main living area - we had three fires even in the middle of Summer (the evenings can get cool.) And the view is the best of all - a sweeping vista down to the sea that's always slowly changing. We saw beautiful clear blue skies and seas on some days, and also misty mornings where visibility was down to 200m or so. Things to consider: there's only one bathroom and toilet - we made this work but occasionally there was a bit of a queue, eg for bed preparations. And also, we found the seating arrangements slightly odd - the sofa's in an awkward place to comfortable watch the (very big) TV - so we ended up moving chairs in front of the TV to watch the Australian Open. And while the view's fabulous, there aren't many places to comfortably enjoy it from (a hedge grows along most of the front balcony at about chest height). From inside the house, you need to be standing at one of the windows to see the view, which felt like a waste/pity. These quibbles aside, we had a great stay and enjoyed the easy access to Melba Falls (just around the corner).

If you're wanting somewhere peaceful to stay on the Great Ocean Road, Boomerangs is the place for you. The customer support consultant Blue greeted us at the car and showed us around.
