Guest Reviews

• Chelsea (10/5): Beautiful place - Secluded but still close enough to Apollo Bay centre. Beautiful room and surrounds.
• Jacqueline (10/5): - The cottage is cozy and comfortable.
• Murphy (9/5): -
• Michael (7/5): Nice little get away. - Nice quiet location Would have been nice to have more towels rather than just one set. More blankets as we sat outside. No internet or phone reception. We did not mind this but it would have been nice to know as we have kids that we need to communicate with while being away.
• Bourke (8/5): -
• Zoe (6/5): Beautiful and convenient but wouldn’t recommend. - Great location. Beautiful scenery. Very comfortable bed. Very cold place and we were asked to not leave on the air conditioning/heating even know it didn’t work very great so was uncomfortably cold unless in the bed with the electric blanket. Mind you the outside temp was between 12°-18°. Septic tank stank out the bathroom and the whole room if bathroom door was left open - hot tip; keep the toilet lid shut. Was unaware there was 2 other cottages to choose from as well. Definitely wouldn’t have gone the budget one as you could feel the neighbours go up and down the stairs and was just uncomfortably close. Also no shoes in the cabin would’ve been nice to know prior as we could have brought inside shoes as our feet were constantly cold. The bathroom was very poorly artificially lit at night and seemed like a bit of a contradiction to ask us to be mindful of the hot water yet put a spa bath in. Would’ve much preferred a large shower of the elbow banging one in there instead of a spa bath. Could also do with some type of fragrancing for the smell. As someone has previously said; the owners have clearly never spent a night here. If it was that cold in spring I would hate to imagine what it’s like in the summer.
• Rory (10/5): -
• Shane (4/5): Not a very good experience - The location They mixed up our cottage which was very inconvenient. They gave me a access code to unlock the cottage which i did and the next day they told us it was the wrong one and that we have to move or they will get someone to move our stuff because someone else was moving in. This was an error clearly on their part and they had the audacity to threaten to remove our stuff if we didnt. If they had coveyed the right information we would have enjoyed our stay. Not a good experience.
• Craige (9/5): Superb -
• Courtney (10/5): Beautiful cottage, amazing location - Absolutely stunning location and cottage
• Dianne (8/5): Very good - Location is excellent. It would have been a bit better if we had a slightly larger bench area in the accommodation. L9
• Eran (6/5): Disappointing plum cottage - The setting is from a ferrytale. You're up in a cottage above a small lake, the whole drive to the cottage is amazing, the scenary within the forest, magical. Renovated internal, nice sky window that you can see the stars on a clear night. Great potential, but.... Seems the owner never spent a night there. So many simple fixes can make this place so much better. That sky window, well, it works during the day as well, specifically 6am welcoming the morning sun!!! Seriously, some shades are a must. The place is actually called willowshire cottages. We came in after dark, looking for the "plum" sign, nowhere to be found. There's no reception, and no phone network, so we were almost heading back to Apollo bay just to call them, and by chance found a few people that helped us out. We didn't get any email or sms with the door access code. One role of toilet paper!?!? Lightout side shines thru the door shades directly onto the bed. Simple fix, come on?!?! Wifi password? Had to ask the neigboring cottage, because we didn't get anything. Coffee machine - great. Coffee capsules - none. Externally, the cottages look run down. Botton line, a lot to fix before i would consider returning.
• Carolina (8/5): Lovely, cozy and peaceful. - Location, the lake, view, birds singing. Lovely, cozy and peaceful. I was expecting a proper kitchen. No just a microwave oven, toaster and kettle. I had to wash the dishes before using them as few of them were a bit dirty. When people next door were up and down the stairs or just walking, we could feel all the cottage shaking. I would go there again, if I get the whole cottage for us.
• Demopoulos (7/5): Good - Very peaceful, nice views and spacious areas. Short enjoyable drive along the river to get there from Apollo Bay. Would prefer the dishes are done as part of the clean so you guarantee they're ready and hygienically cleaned. I poured a very expensive drink into a glass that filled with bubbles from poor rinsing. Only the bright light in the bathroom works which isn't the most comfortable whilst trying to enjoy a bath. Maybe I missed it in the description but it shares a wall and deck with the rest of the house that is also having guests stay.
