Lovely place with a pretty garden

We had a lovely stay! The unit was roomy, clean and had a pretty garden. It had everything you need (with great heating - which was much needed during our cold weekend!) and was very quiet. Communication and check in and out was easy. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch! We had our two pooches with us who also loved their mini break! Would stay again!

A surprise package.

Jade cottage is a very clean, comfortable and tastefully presented unit and the garden surrounds were very appealing. The kitchen has everything you might need and the welcome basket was both generous and much appreciated. The owner was very helpful and we hope to plan a return visit to the cottage to explore the many features offered locally.

Great place

Had a wonderful weekend Point Lonsdale. It’s well located with good access to all of the Bellarine. Can walk in PL and there’s a small general store just around the corner. Apartment was excellent. Period furniture is attractive but not so comfy for a lazy day in. The King is bed is 5 star. Overall we loved our stay and would stay there again. Thanks!

Point Lonsdale stay

This property was everything we were expecting. It was easy for my husband to get around on his mobility scooter. The place was lovely with beautiful views from all the windows. Only issue was the little sensor light outside the bedroom. It kept going on and off all night.

Thank you for your review Dorotea and thank you for the feedback regarding the sensor light. The light is only intended to switch on when movement detected to ensure safety going to the bathroom. Apologies for the inconvenience and I will follow up with the required maintenance.. Kind regrads Sue

Beautiful

Jade Cottage was the perfect place for me to stay at a time when I needed privacy, beauty, peace and tranquility, which it provides in bucket-loads. It comes with everything you could possibly want, large windows all around, a patio with deck chairs and sun loungers off the living area, and a small cosy garden nook surrounded by lovely foliage via a door off the bedroom. Speaking of the bedroom, the bed was firm but comfortable, the large wardrobe has plenty of hanging space (could do with more coathangers though), large shelves, and a fabulous full length mirror in which to admire one's daily outfit. In the kitchen you will find everything you could possibly need, including a wonderful little espresso coffee maker! Bellissimo! The complimentary basket of goodies was a nice touch too. The host, Sue, is a very caring person who was so kind and accommodating to my needs [thank you so much Sue! xxx]. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if I get the chance.

About the host

Hosted by Susanne O'Brien

Host profile image
Jade Cottage has always been my own little sanctuary. Whenever I need time to recharge, this is where I choose to stay.

During the COVID years, while I was still working full-time, I lived here for several months. The sunny north-facing deck became my outdoor office, where I could work remotely surrounded by birdsong, fresh coastal air and beautiful gardens. At the end of each day, a short walk to the beach or simply sitting quietly in the garden reminded me just how special this place is.

That experience confirmed everything I had hoped to create—a cottage that feels peaceful, comfortable and restorative. It's a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

I hope every guest leaves Jade Cottage feeling as refreshed and inspired as I always do.

Why they chose this property

I chose this area because it has always felt like home to me. The Bellarine Peninsula offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, peaceful surroundings and a genuine sense of community.

As a passionate birdwatcher and gardener, I'm constantly inspired by the native birdlife, coastal landscapes and ever-changing seasons. Whether it's a sunrise walk along the beach, exploring nearby wetlands or simply sitting on Jade Cottage's sunny north-facing deck listening to the birds, I find myself slowing down and appreciating the simple pleasures.

I also love that Point Lonsdale and Queenscliff have retained their unique character. From wonderful cafés and local produce to wineries, beaches, walking trails and rich maritime history, there's always something to discover without ever feeling crowded.

For me, this special corner of Victoria is a place to unwind, reconnect with nature and leave feeling refreshed. I hope every guest discovers their own favourite part of it, just as I have.

What makes this property unique

Jade Cottage offers something that's surprisingly rare—a boutique retreat combining premium accessibility, privacy and thoughtful design in a beautifully compact space.

Purpose-built for comfort, the cottage features step-free access, an accessible bathroom with roll-in shower, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen and a spacious open-plan living area that flows seamlessly onto a sunny north-facing deck and private fully fenced garden.

The flexible bedroom configuration, with a king bed that converts to two king singles, together with a convenient Murphy bed, makes Jade Cottage ideal for couples, solo travellers, friends, client and carer stays, or guests recovering from surgery who appreciate extra comfort and accessibility.

Unlike many holiday cottages, Jade Cottage is also proudly pet friendly, allowing guests to enjoy the Bellarine Peninsula with their four-legged companion.

Every detail has been carefully considered to create a peaceful retreat where guests can relax, recharge and enjoy the best of Point Lonsdale and nearby Queenscliff. Whether you're seeking a romantic coastal escape, an accessible holiday, a golfing weekend or a quiet place to reconnect with nature, Jade Cottage offers boutique comfort in an exceptional location.
