OceanView Forest Cottage – Outdoor Spa & epic view
Lovely stay with stunning views and great facilities. Perfect for a long weekend getaway. Little bit of a drive to other amenities so come prepared but a good middle ground to explore local sites.

Sunrise Spa and Fire No 5
The cottage is just as advertised. Very clean, very comfortable, very charming. Only stayed one night. Sorry we didn’t plan to stay longer.

Lake Cottage: Ocean View Spa | Great Ocean Rd
wonderful view and loved the fire place.

Apple Tree Cottage
A magical place nestled in the rainforest but near the beach, a wonderful view- we just sat with a cuppa and our puppy in the porch watching the ducks- Very peaceful- if you are after something quiet, intimate, and with amazing views, this is the place- close drive 5 minutes to town for food. Will book it again !!!!!

Sunny's Beach House, Apollo Bay Cottage & Jacuzzi
Thank you Alex, our holiday exceeded all my expectations! The space was beautifully decorated, clean, and equipped with all the amenities one could ask for. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to the beach and a short drive into Apollo Bay. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space, which was great for relaxing after a day of exploring. Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I can't wait to return!

Unforgettable Seaside cottage
Great stay here. Trust what you read under Bohdan’s management. He’s a great host. The cottage is gorgeous and in a great location. Everything you need - very practical design. Well equiped and clean which was a highlight after staying in many grotty, sticky places with a lot of everything you don’t need. Bohdan asked for feedback as to what the cottage might need and I can’t think of anything - it’s all there 👍.

Beechy Cottage
Rickie-Lee's place was clean and was fully stocked with amenities and things we could use to make our stay great. We made full use of the BBQ and fire pit. Beds were really comfy and the house was well insulated which would be great for the colder months.

Two Couples cottage No 4
Had a lovely stay over the anzac weekend. Beautiful view of the valleys and surrounding forest. Had some friendly visitors; cockatoos, kangaroos and a possum! Accommodation was very neat and tidy, and there was plenty of wood in the wood box which made our weekend very cosy by the fire. Only 5 minute drive to town so loved the location.

Whitehawks Cottage - Otway Getaway
Wilhe’s place was perfect for a long cosy weekend away on a rainy weekend. Only a short drive into Apollo Bay but felt so peaceful in the mountains amongst the trees. We loved the wood fire, the comfy bed and just felt that the space had everything we needed - including umbrellas. Highly recommend!

Bells Beach Escape – Secret Hideaway in Jan Juc
Such a beautiful place to stay, super peaceful and quiet. Far enough way from busy areas but only less than 5 minutes to any main shops, cafes or the beach. Loved how clean the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were. Definitely recommend looking through their travel guide and to stargaze on the bean bags in the front garden. Absolutely beautiful :)

Fern Cottage - Cozy Cottage
Lovely home in the bush. The fire kept the whole place warm during a very rainy weekend! A great location near the local pub and cafes - would recommend for anyone headed down that way.

Hideaway Cottage - Secluded Retreat - Pet Friendly
Sharon’s place was peaceful private and had beautiful lush green surroundings. The house is cozy clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were comfortable, clean linen and towels. The fireplace kept us warm and cozy with lots of firewood. The property feels remote even though it’s just 20 mins from Apollo bay. and having no Wi-Fi or phone reception made it feel like a really peaceful getaway. We had fun exploring the property playing board games by the fire swinging on the swing outside and making pizzas in the wood fired pizza oven.

Tranquillity in a private acreage garden - 2 BR
We absolutely loved our time here. It was peaceful and beautiful, and Stacey was a perfect host. Would absolutely love to come back. Thanks!

Bells Beach - Cottage with wood heater
A great spot to relax, we really enjoyed the wood heater on the colder days and nights. The property was well maintained and very very clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property has good access to the many walking and cycling trails.

BeRested @ SleepWell
We had a great stay at Kat’s place. The cottage is well set up, roomy, centrally located (though still quiet) and was spotlessly clean. There are a lot of great eating places a short walk away. Also appreciated being able to check in a little earlier. Thanks again Kat - would definitely recommend your place to family and friends.

"BirchHaven" - Relax in historic Birregurra
We very much enjoyed this charming home and found the beds comfortable and the wood stove cozy. Thank you, Cris, for making our stay so lovely.

Views from forest to the sea, 5 mins to town
Thank you Rebecca for a wonderful stay in your beautiful house. We felt right at home and appreciated all the little extras. The stunning sunrises were an added bonus and we enjoyed the wood heater. There's so much to do around Lorne, quite a special place!

77 on Main - Old Shop Front
Was perfect stop over and close enough to Geelong and the surf coast. Peaceful little town with cute little lolly shop and great pub for dinner all next door to accomo. It rained a lot and was cold so we didn’t get to use play ground near by which would have been fun for the kids. We kept warm with fire and split system and beds well equiped with doonas and blankets and lots of pillows. Apartment Well decked out with vintage furniture and great magazines and lots of read. Coffee machine and fresh beans a great touch and fridge well equipped for our 2 night stay. Bathroom modern and great shower. Would def come back

Johanna Cottage. A peaceful retreat
Anna’s place was just perfect. Exactly like the photos and description. Anna even provided a homemade fresh loaf of bread and some Easter choccies which was such a treat! If you’re looking for a quiet getaway this is the perfect spot! It’s a decent drive to Apollo bay for restaurants but having the quiet serenity and local wildlife at our doorstep made it worthwhile. Highly highly recommend Anna’s place. Can’t recommend enough!

Ghazeepore School House
We had a great time staying here. Claire was a lovely host, very friendly and welcoming. The space itself was peaceful and clean. Highly recommend.

Apollo Bay Cottages - Sugarloaf Cottage
We had a great stay and appreciated the fireplace. It was a great base for us to take in the Great Ocean Road.

Willow Wood
We had the best time staying at Willow Wood. Would highly recommend. The cottage is spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped (including for cooking at home). The scenery is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed some great bush walks in the area. We would love to stay again!

Kookaburra's Rest
Great place, looks even better than the pictures!

Wye Dream - The Original Wye Surf Club Bunkhouse
Wye dream is an absolute delight. Thank you so much for hosting us, Michelle & Matthew. We loved it so much. Sleeping to the sounds of the waves was a tonic. With kangaroos & kookaburra in the backyard it was a quintessential holiday stay. It’s also really rare to find an Airbnb with full linen included and a fabulously appointed kitchen with an ocean view! There so much light & air in the house it feels easy to be in. It’s not flashy…it’s warm and comfortable & spacious. The location is perfect. Not such an uphill hike but still has views of the ocean from the excellent bedrooms. It’s better than the pictures! For anyone wanting to stay in Wye River, pub & general stores are absolute delights and it’s a great base to explore further afield. Thanks so much again. We really hope to come back!
