Wattle Hill house rentals

Quiet, clean and comfortable. The cottage had a beautiful outlook, and amazing bird life in the area. A great place to stay while doing the Great Ocean Walk. Lovely hosts.

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.

This was a return visit for me. Anna and Branko are wonderful hosts who really care about their guests. I love the serenity of Johanna Meadows. The cottage is gorgeous. So cosy and sparkling clean. Beds and furniture are comfortable. You have everything you could need to prepare meals in the delightful kitchen. So many lovely touches inside. Beautiful view over the hills. A forest on the property to wander through. Kangaroos and wallabies come out to graze in the sun. Stunning Johanna Ocean Beach close by. You couldn’t find a more perfect place to stay.

The property is absolutely gorgeous, very spacious and clean. Great private location, perfect distance from nearby attractions. Would definitely stay again.

Very relaxing

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.

This cottage was just what we needed. Had everything, even a knife sharpener. Our elderly dog was very comfortable. Views for days and the wild life and farm life were a treat. Definitely coming back here
