The property is located just off the main road amongst established and beautiful trees. Lush green all around.
It’s a small unit offering everything you may need for a short or long stay.
Very clean and welcoming.
Fast and prompt communication from the owners with very clear instructions on how to get to the property.
Easy access and very close to the main attractions.
Definitely recommend it.
Thank you very much Liz.

We loved our stay here.
The location was absolutely perfect for our first visit to the great ocean road. It’s right where all the iconic landmarks are, and we came during the week so there weren’t too many people on the viewpoints.
We loved the fireplace, we loved the secluded feeling of the house. The view is just beautiful!
It is a simple house, and it was wonderful to stay there.
Liz was super responsive to our questions, and very kind in offering us to check in and out in our own time.
Thank you so much Liz!

Great location and house was very comfy . I can only recommend that a number or a sign be put out on road as we had to use google maps as you cannot see the house from road and a little tricky with access path to the house . However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying here .

As a family of five (three boys under 3) space and proximity to main attractions was very important. This home provided just that. Three hosts were incredibly accommodating with a few last minute requests, only a short drive to the 12 apostles and many beautiful walks. Port Campbell was only 15 min away from our location.
It was a beautiful hideaway and we are so grateful for this home.

Great place that is well kept and in good shape. My dog loved the amount of space, having a coffee in the morning and walking the boundary felt like a good sniff walk without having to go anywhere! Even if there's no fences the bush does form a bit of a natural barrier. The house is thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need.

My partner, his son and I had a wonderful week at the property for an old school summer holiday. Swimming, hiking, reading in our hammock, watching the sunset, listening to the birds etc.
Highly recommend for a relaxed and low-key break.

We had a lovely time, it was nice to have our whole family this time with our dogs able to attend their first family holiday. Loved the serenity and the dogs and kids loved exploring. The tree house was also a hit.

A very neat and clean newly fixed up house. You can wake up and go to the 12 Apostles in the morning before the crowds and have them to yourself. Well worth it, and Port Camphell is a great little beach town 10 minutes away to. Loved it.
5.0
This property is just beautiful! If you are after a rural escape with no neighbours, peace and quiet, this is the one. The house has everything you need & we really appreciated the children's puzzles, games & Duplo!
Such a lovely big garden to explore too.
Local beaches are magic & Port Campbell is very child friendly beach with a river to explore too.
Thank you for a wonderful stay for our family & fur babies :-)
