Very spacious and it was nice to have a fire with six of us sitting around it and chatting. The outdoors was also very nice, but we didn't have the time to experience much

Clean and comfortable cottage. Well equipped. We appreciated the hanging hooks for coats, wet towels, etc.; the bathroom shelf for putting toilet bags on and the extensive kitchen equipment. The milk in the fridge was much appreciated! If I had to be picky I'd say the decor and bathroom are a bit tired. We visited in an unseasonably cold November and were very grateful for the heater. All in all a great, well-priced spot from which to tour the GOR. Also highly recommend the gourmet trail which stars from Port Campbell.

Charming place…
Charming place, we arrived a little late in evening and Peter was waiting for us and made us feel at home. Kitchen was outfitted very well and we had plenty of room.
Plenty of towels and bath supplies.
Great stop for resting for the night after a long ride.

So inviting, the first thing I was drawn to do was to have a cuppa in the sunshine on the verandah. So clean, everything I needed, had such a nice feel to it, it was great value for money.

Nice and perfect prepared house, all included what you need to have for your stay. Very friendly communication and easy access to the house even when reception is closed. Near by shopping possibilities as well as restaurants.
All in all - "I will come back to you when I´m looking for your area !!!"
Thank you so much !
As my partner is a retired chef, a vegan, and disabled and the fact that we travel extensively we always look for places that have full size fridges, and a kitchen w/ a cook top if not an actual full stove. This space was actually described as having both, but ultimately had a small motel style fridge, and a plug in, portable electric hot place. Otherwise, the property is up a very steep hill which should be noted in the description here because during our stay there was a storm complete with severe hail and winds which made us worry about getting out in the morning. There was no communication with regard to how to access the space and there was no one on site when we arrived. Ultimately we called and information was supplied. We did meet the owner when there was a TV issue. He ended up coming by, fixing it, and was a lovely person. The property itself is pretty, and is largely a collection of either attached cabins (also not noted here) and stand alone ones more reminiscent of a weekend hunting cabin rather than something you would normally promote as an Inn. The location is good if visiting Port Campbell. In closing, if they were honest in the description and were more hands on with check in then it would have been an entirely different experience.
