Very clean, quiet and serene property! Great amount of space for our greyhound to run in a secure yard. Excellent location, easy check in and well appointed kitchen!
The little cottage is in a private location that has its own entrance, it is clean, inviting, and cozy, has everything prepared for a family of 5, and is very close to the tourist hot spots along Great Ocean Road, highly recommend it!
Our stay at this charming holiday cottage was very enjoyable. Nestled amidst picturesque surroundings, the cozy interiors exuded warmth and comfort. Very clean and well-appointed. Would recommend for a rejuvenating getaway!
The host was wonderfully helpful when our credit card payment didn’t go through. I had a little trouble finding the place after dark but was very comfortable once arrived. Travellers should be aware the town and food options shut down early, so if you want to enjoy the sunset at the 12 apostles - grab a bite first!
comfortable, well quipped with the necessities, very clean.
Melissa the host is excellent. She is very helpful and communicative, gives clear instructions to the property even though we have had a few misses finding our way to the house.
We have had a great time. Will definately consider returning and recommending friends when visiting the Great Ocean Road next.
Melissa, thank you and all the very best to you.

property is fine the problem was we were given the wrong adress it was to late to go to the one we booked and when contacted the property maner of stayz they first accused me that i recieved information.then refunde me less than the property over charged seeing it wasnt the right property so to be honest I should recieve a full refund for her rude management,of your property if im going to book with you and Im planning to book again both port camble and in sep phillip island
We were scheduled to book this property, however, were told 2 hrs prior to arriving that it had been doubled booked. This is disheartening as we would have ridden 5 hrs to get there. Luckily the communication with owner was superb and she was able to quickly organise an alternate accommodation for us, which rarely would happen. We were very satisfied with the alternate accommodation and accepted her apology. Thanks
Although we usually prefer luxury accommodation, our limited options led us to this place. Place was as listed no surprises.
For us it's a budget accommodation, but still good accommodation.
Kitchen amenities were great. Bathroom was great.
Thanks again.
Beautiful little cottage, very clean, spacious and enjoyable. Furniture, couches and beds are a little old and dated, but still clean. Thanks for having us, it was a lovely stay.
