Guest Reviews
- joe lard (10/5): Heaven on earth, with luxury accom to match. - Good comms, this place is unbelievable and the hosts have thought of everything, even the small things like decent appliances, good kitchen utensils, absolutely spotless and just an unbelievable place to stay with views to die for. I honestly think it's the highest quality stay we've had in Australia (lived here 12 years). Nothing negative to say at all, congrats on what you've built here - it's magic. The only downside was we didn't book to stay longer, hope to be back one day.
- Helen (9/5): Lovely friendly hosts - Lovely peaceful location
- Jenny (10/5): - Stunning location and view. The cabin was unique and full of character. The highlight was the spa bath - such a treat!
- Inna (10/5): -
- Lyndall (8/5): We had a lovely stay so much to see - Open spaces, comfortable, wildlife, sunrise. Very comfortable and nice decor love the Australiana theme
- Mark (9/5): -
- Chris (10/5): Love everything about our stay. - Great location, views and facilities. Nothing.
- Xu (9/5): -
- Kate (10/5): A beautiful private self contained haven - Spacious, fully equipped, private, comfortable and overlooking a beautiful valley
- Sabine (7/5): -
- Shella (10/5): -
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Mike (9/5): -
- Ashley (9/5): Perfect hosts and lovely accommodation - Beautiful bungalows in quiet grounds, left a few treats for our arrival and let us pick fresh herbs from the garden I should have checked before but the beach isn’t a swimming beach and is a 5min drive - stunning and wild when you see it though
- Chris (5/5): Would not return - Log burner was great Was disappointed on arrival - no effort made for Xmas (compared to other properties stayed in over festive period) and property/furniture in need of updating. Advertised as sea view - but would need binoculars
- Alexandra (10/5): -
- Howard (10/5): - Everything so peaceful
- Sabine (10/5): -
- Eswaran (10/5): -
- Nasim (9/5): -
- Emma (10/5): Amazing, I want to go back soon. - There was muesli and milk in the fridge, which was delicious. And a big, full box of beautiful Madura teas, which as tea devotees, we were especially pleased with. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you'd need. We used it mainly for breakfast because we dined two nights at The Perch in Laver's Hill - highly recommended!
The cottage was spacious, and the views were sensational. We enjoyed watching and listening to the wonderful birdlife that played amongst the stunning gardens. My QLD friend also loved watching the 'adorable' bunny rabbits. My pooch had a great time sniffing hither and thither, and barking at the sweet resident border collies.
Johanna Beach is the only dog-friendly beach for miles, and is only a 10min drive away. It was a windy day, with wild skies and sporadic drizzle, and we had the whole beach to ourselves! Magnificent.
- Nirranda (10/5): -
- Moira (10/5): Wonderful and peaceful time and our dog loved it too. - Beautiful views, peaceful, comfortable place to stay. Great for photography. Everything was great.
- Mia (9/5): 9/10,房间不好找 - 很复古
- Stephen (9/5): Superb -
- John (8/5): Very good -
- Sharon (9/5): We loved most things was a little over priced. Would have like the fire box topped up as we had no kindling the second n - Great location great cabins loved the decor Was hard to place suitcase in the room. O cupboards no where to sit suitcase.
- Nidzebelis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Archita (8/5): Very good -
- Sherap (9/5): Superb -
- Alan (7/5): Good - Even though we kept the screens shut the flys just kept breading we went through 2 cans of fly spray in 5 days and still they kept coming
- Bruce (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jayaram (7/5): Great location and stay, absolutely useless unfriendly, apathetic hosts. - Location was outstanding and the cabins were great. The hosts couldn't care less. They prioritized their dinner over paying customers and didn't answer our phone calls also despite saying they would in case we reached after 6 pm. We travel the world and understand that the western world pretty much sucks at customer service compared to India and Asia, but apathetic hosts is unacceptable especially when they charge 5 star rates. What if there is an emergency? Oh no, we want to have our dinner- then don't be in hospitality folks!
There was a know on our door at 8:30 pm and there was a drenched German cyclist who couldn't find a lighter to light the fireplace in his cabin! We told him to call the hosts and warned him that they might not answer and don't call back from our experience. Wonder what he did after that!

- Cynthia (10/5): Spectacular views in a gorgeous place - Convenient. Gorgeous views. Stunningly designed with a unique, classy Australiana theme. Comfy. Cosy big bathroom. Tranquil and beautiful setting. Fab views of the milky way on a clear night. Wonderful responsive owners. Sweet dogs :)
- Katie (10/5): Picturesque relaxing location - A tranquil place.
Mark had set the fire ready to light which was so welcome on a cold night. The gardens and surroundings are spectacular. Wished we could have stayed longer.
- Ramkumar (9/5): Superb -
- Sue (8/5): Will definitely come again, in warmer weather. - Beautiful designed property. Very clean and good quality facilities inside the house. Nothing
- Sarah (9/5): Fantastic accommodation with amazing views in a great location. - The location and view was amazing. The design of the accommodation added to this, with wall to ceiling 270degrees view. Such a great base for exploring the Otways and Twelve Apostles. Nothing, it was all good.
- Karen (10/5): Perfect stopover for exploring The Otways - Location & serenity
- Gabby (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pam (9/5): Superb -
- John (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tanwistha (8/5): Great experience with the outdoor ambiance.. had everything we needed for the night. A bit pricey but considering the lo - On great ocean road but still tucked away into a Secluded green space of its own One single washroom for 2 bedroom units
- Helga (10/5): A place worth returning to again! - Location, views, fresh veggies from gardens, Blue and Tommy Red of Guest Relations, suggestions of what to do and see locally, friendliness of hosts, the unique architecture, the fireplace...it was all superb! All great!
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - What we liked the most was the welcoming committee we had each time we arrived back at the apartment, two beautiful friendly border collies.It was a great location with beautiful surroundings and views and lovely accommodating hosts. The apartment was clean, well appointed, quiet, relaxing and the perfect place to return to after a day of sightseeing. It was sad to leave and we will definitely be back It was all perfect
- Anthony (10/5): The atmosphere is fantastic. - Large clean comfortable apartments set in a beautiful (large) garden. There is a panoramic view to the sea (about 5km away) and the forested hills of the Otways. Fresh tasty greens, fruit and herbs available from the property garden. Birdlife was stunning (watch the wedge tail eagles soaring above the valley). Bring some binoculars if you are into birdwatching. The beach at Johanna is wild and rarely suitable for swimming but it is magnificent. Take a drive on the Aire Settlement road to see some mountain ash forest. Nothing.
- Jannine (8/5): Excellent location for getting away from it all. - We liked the remoteness and natural setting. Birds were amazing. The signage coming from Apollo Bay. Sign out the front need to face both ways on The Great Ocean Road. We know you gave us written instructions but hard to find info when you have many emails. Yes, we could have been organised but still feel signage helpful.
- Quoc-anh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Khalid (10/5): Exceptional -
- Symons (9/5): Superb - The unit was really well set out. The gardens were beautiful to walk around. The secateurs left by the door were very handy to cut some beautiful blooms. We were then able to make a lovely arrangement.
- Tina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kirsty (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robert (10/5): Well maintained, beautiful landscaped and friendly hosts -
- Arjen (8/5): Special place to discover the Great Ocean Road. - Lovely cottage with good amenities for a self catered stay located in a beautiful garden with views towards the ocean. Comfortable beds. Good shower. Fireplace! All good, and the owners are really lovely people. Though there was instant coffee, the spartan breakfast that was included according to Booking only catered for the first morning, whereas we paid for two nights, breakfast included.
- Brock (8/5): Very good -
- Johanna (7/5): Good -
- Donna (10/5): a wonderful couple of nights in a beautiful setting - magnificent setting with glorious view beds a little hard
- Elizabeth (10/5): Unmissable accomodation experience - Such a unique experience! Super clean, lovely kitchen items, board games, Starlink internet, great breakfast provisions, fireplace, warm and comfy beds. Plus the view and garden cannot be beat. We stayed at 3 different places along the Great Ocean Rd and this was by far the best.
- Diana (10/5): Perfect stay - Perfect & exactly as described. The wood fire was perfect. Nothing
- Gordon (8/5): Very good - Loved the fire place, plenty of wood privacy but closeness to the other stays .Loved the Serindipity bath products! Milk and butter would have been handy
- Larra (10/5): An idyllic cabin. Perfect for a getaway. - The cabin has a functional layout and has everything you could possibly need. The outlook is stunning.
Mark and Roxy are generous hosts.
- Jodi (10/5): The Boomerangs and surroundings provided for an amazing and relaxing weekend. - The house is very original in its shape and beautiful stained glass windows. Great spa bathtub and cozy wooden cabin feel. Loved the wood-burning stove that added to the cozy ambience.  There was nothing not to like. All amenities and facilities were just perfect.
- Marion (10/5): Blissful Boomerangs - The destination, the wonderful view of our spacious cabin, the furniture was ultra comfortable. Very quiet and amazing bird watching. Friendly greeting by our hosts Roz and her dog , the fabulous Blue. The fire was lit on arrival, so cosy! A very relaxing get away indeed, even with wintry, wet weather. One small suggestion would be to add a second small side table to the sofas as the space to share a table is too far apart.
- Catherine (10/5): If you need a relaxing & peaceful getaway this is the place for you. - Beautiful location, amazing views, friendly hosts and their very friendly pet dog Hannah.
The property has everything you need. Comfy bed, exceptionally clean with so much thought into making your stay memorable. There is honestly nothing we didn’t like.
- Karen (9/5): Superb -
- Patrick (10/5): Highly recommended stay. We and our pooch really enjoyed the facilities and location. - Beautiful cottage, very well presented. Awesome location. All was perfect.
- Elizabeth (8/5): A shame we couldn’t have stayed longer and enjoyed everything. - Great location and surroundings. Nice touches, everything you could possibly want was provided. Fantastic heating in the bathroom! And a lovely wood stove all set up for you to light. We were passing through for one night only, so didn’t really get to enjoy the views, facilities and ambiance. For a couple (each 2-bedroom bungalow could sleep 2 couples) it was quite expensive for a short stay. Not the properties’ fault - we just weren’t the right kind of traveller on this occasion - it would be lovely for a longer stay and better value for two couples traveling together.
- Ba18ag (10/5): Perfection - Slice of heaven was perfect 11/10! That I had to leave 😭😭
- Abdulmohsin (8/5): Very good -
- Frederick (10/5): Fantastic stay, very friendly hosts. Thank you! Highly recommended. - Great location, short drive to a secluded beach. Well appointed cabins, very clean.
