Hordern Vale beach rentals

Fabulous for our group of 13 friends from all over Australia to be able to sit around the big dining table and catch up after hiking sections of the great Ocean walk. A well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and lots of bathrooms made it easy to relax in this home.

Great position needed to stay longer to really appreciate the area and house

Charinga never disappoints!This was our 4th visit and our reaction is still the same….WOW.Opposite the beach, big windows with a spectacular view, lots of space, beautiful linen, super comfy beds and a kitchen with everything you need.Our host Javier has been a delight to deal with and always available to answer any questions .Charinga is definitely the ideal place to be when you want to push pause on your busy city life.Thanks for the memories

Really well set up for families and pup. Had everything we needed and more!

We loved the little cottage (no. 1). Separate from other units and dedicated parking spot right next to it. Clean, comfortable with plenty of room to spread out for 2 people. less than 10 minute walk from the quiet street location to all the cafes, restaurants, stores, bars. Would stay there again...wish we had more time.

Very comfortable and convenient, just a few minutes from Apollo Bay and all restaurants. Perfect base to do a day tour to 12 Apostles and all other sites there, plus Cape Otway. We recommend.

Clean ,great location. Had everything we need.

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).
