Julie always communicates well and responds to all questions and requests. We love coming to this house I think we’ve been four or five times now. Everything you need in the kitchen, it’s always nice and clean and all the books and DVDs are a bonus!
We had a wonderful stay at Newfield Holiday House and can thoroughly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. The accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided and the location was quiet and very close to the key coastal features. Excellent communication and easy check-in. We would absolutely book again on our next trip.
Very happy with our choice. A great base for sight seeing along and around The Great Ocean Road.Clean, comfortable beds.A well equipped kitchen.Great communication from Julie, the host .
A very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Plenty of great walks around and a great place to base to visit Port Campbell, Timboon and the great food around the area.
Could see it would be fantastic for families too.
Comfortable and clean family home. Everything we wanted and a short drive to Port Campbell/local natural attractions. Lovely quiet place with great walks. Julie is a very responsive host.
Our 2nd time enjoying this wonderful house and area. So peaceful and relaxing, with great beaches and scenery to explore. We can not wait for our 3rd holiday to this fantastic family home.
Well appointed, welcoming, comfortable, plenty of room, great location. Owner great to deal with and we had so much fun. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us 😊
Our multi generational family and dog stayed a week in this well equipped and comfortable home. The house had everything we needed and only a short walk to the shops and beach. We loved the library, the games and the wood fire.
A great location to stay and explore the great ocean road and beyond.

Peterborough is an adventure playground for children so it's good to have activities for them in the holiday house and families can enjoy the reasonable price. So glad you enjoyed.
Our absolute favorite stay in Victoria. Love this house, position, beaches, food at the local takeaway. Thank you Julie for sharing your wonderful relaxing family home once again. We will definitely be back again. Taking your fur baby is the absolute privelige.
We had another wonderful stay at Julie's property with the grandparents and our big german Shepherd. So much room for the whole family and had a warm homely feel. Nice quiet location and our daughter loved the swing on the back porch. Julie was so helpful with communication and gave us some lovely private beaches to check out, we will be back soon! Thankyou
