It was a great little vibe for a family getaway. Just be mindful its on main road so not a place to stay if you want to walk everywhere.
- Amanda (10/5): -
- Donald (8/5): -
- Tammy (10/5): Beautiful, restful holiday - Beautiful location with a homey feel that is close to all amenities. Kind and friendly hosts. Note: due to the country environment you might experience more spiders than you might normally be used to!
- Scott (8/5): Great hosts, fantastic location, super great for families, peaceful. - Great to be away from the business of city life but close to beaches and shops if wanting. .
- Stanija (7/5): - Es hat ein Trampolin, Schaukel und in der Hütte hatte es Spiele und Puzzles. Dies war super für die Kinder und sie hatten Freude daran. Die Lage ist auch gut, in 5 Min ist man mit dem Auto im Zentrum. Das WiFi war instabil, aber dies fand ich nicht wirklich störend. Die Betten waren hart und es war nicht so sauber.
- Justin (6/5): Overall it was a relaxing and comfortable stay. - Accesible and tranquil place to stay. There was no internet the whole time we were there.

- Bernie (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay, the lovely hosts all the animals and the very tranquil location. - Lovely tranquil location with a beautiful view of the surrounds and lots of wildlife.
- Steve (8/5): - 5 minutes out of Torquay township, it was the perfect location to avoid all the hassle of holiday congestion. In a great bushland setting the units were very comfortable, resident Pony and Alpacas kept the kids entertained. Host Terry was excellent.

Close to Bells Beach. Warm with heaters and great view from the terrace. No coffee maker, and we like real coffee.
- Debbie (9/5): Very enjoyable - Lovely setting Studio was lovely, clean and comfortable and very quiet

- Brian (10/5): -
- Farhad (10/5): Bells Estate Cottages offers super clean, comfortable accommodation with exceptionally friendly host - Bells Estate Cottages is set in a beautiful, peaceful farm environment very close to Torquay, with stunning views of the property. But what truly made our stay special were Terry and Mel — they are incredibly kind and responsive. We asked to use the firewood, and even though I called them late in the evening, they organised it straight away. Such amazing people!
The cottage itself was spotless, with comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen, great air-conditioning/heating, and of course the cozy firewood.
Most importantly for us (and definitely for our dog), the property was wonderfully dog-friendly. Our pup had access to a large secure backyard along with plenty of dog beds and thoughtful extras.
We really enjoyed our two-night stay at Bells Estate Cottages and highly recommend it. We’ll definitely be back for our next holiday. Perfect location, super clean, dog-friendly, and hosted by such a lovely family. Thank you, Terry and Mel, for your wonderful hospitality! Honestly, everything exceeded expectations — every little detail was perfect.
- Michelle (8/5): - Cute cottage, beautiful views, lovely fireplace.
- Caroline Audrey (10/5): - Beautiful property. Kids loved the Shetland pony and Alpaccas. Owner Terry lovely too. Enjoyed our stay.
- Rachel (6/5): Country charm - The location was perfect. Nice country charm. The cottage has charm and wood fireplace The toilet leaked will be repaired Monday and just one small tv in lounge . None in bedroom The password given for internet access was incorrect. So had to contact owners to rectify.The pool too cold to swim . Neighbours next door loud music after 11pm. Slipped off the front steps fell off into garden breaking my glasses and I have bruising from the fall. One bucket of firewood to last 2 nights. Can view the toilet from spa.

- Rick (8/5): Very good -
- Abdulaziz (10/5): Exceptional -
- Evan (9/5): An ideal quiet location to base our big ride out of Torquay. - Location was an ideal distance from Torquay, as we were riding a 204 km Great Otways and Ocean road challenge,
7 km was a good warm up. a lovely quiet location, in the bush. I did not find a chopping board in the kitchen, everything else was great.

Unfortunately there were issues with the Wifi when we were there, which was disappointing because we were hoping to watch a family movie at least. Wifi wasn't working when we were there, which was disappointing because we were hoping to watch a family movie at least.
- Julian (7/5): Good -
- Birgit (7/5): Cozy and Quiet Stay - Directly at Great Ocean Road. Cozy and quiet accommodation. Wifi connection can be better.
- John (10/5): Terry was a fantastic host and we had a great time staying at the property! - Location was great for exploring the Great Ocean Road and surrounds. The location is very quiet being in a more rural setting. The room was perfect for our needs with two adults and two kids aged 8 and 10. Kitchenette was perfect for us to fix a quick breakfast before going sightseeing. We loved the farm animals too! Wi-Fi was hit and miss, but understandable given the location of the room.
- Craig (8/5): Pleasant & peaceful stay - Pleasant short family stay with our 18 month old daughter. We stayed in Valley view cottage and the owner helped with a barricade for the stairs to stop our daughter from going up & down. Good friendly owners (and their hobby farm animals). Good communication. Would stay again.
- Ray (6/5): It would have been nice to have been shown all the property we didn’t know about the pool as shown on the sign at the fr - Location & scenery The tv remote unable to see the button controls
- Laura (9/5): Peaceful, tranquil, yet close to beaches and ammenities. - Terry was a great host, welcoming, friendly and easy going. Loved the location. It felt quiet and rural although was only metres from a wonderful cafe/nursery/gallery and only 10-15 minutes to Anglesea or Torquay. It was just what we were looking for!
- Olivia (6/5): A pleasant and novel stay - The property was great for the kids to experience the animals, they were fascinated by the Lamas. We enjoyed the trampoline and surrounding areas. Sadly the cottage wasn't fully looked after - the bathroom had clear black mold, and it was the small things, the toilet seat wasn't in the best shape, the kitchen had only one side serving plate, the frypan in the kitchen had well-used history and the toaster and kettle were inconsistent in their delivery.
- Lillie (10/5): Exceptional - It had a lot of space, very good for kids. I would definitely stay back here
- Alex (10/5): - friendly service, leaky tap in bathroom
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - The staff were amazing friendly and helpful
The pool was a hit
- Teckers (9/5): Very happy with setting, comfortable studio. - Private locations offering fun activities for grandchildren
- Sue (8/5): Very good -
- Jack (9/5): A short lovely stay with great memories. - Great location-close to all the major tourist attractions along the Great Ocean Road. Hidden gem. Although it’s situated in a prime location, it retains its tranquility and peacefulness. The cottage is great-offers everything a traveller can imagine of. Definitely coming back when visiting the Great Ocean Road next time! Nothing I can think of.
- Sarah (9/5): A Comfortable Country Cottage - Bells Estate is an amazing place to stay. In a bush setting, it is tranquility and comfort all in one. The cottage we had was really comfy, very homely and welcoming. Our dog loved it too, and was very welcome there which was great. The cottage was on a huge block, allowing the dog to have plenty of space to roam safely. The bed we stayed in was lovely. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Just a lovely place where you can breathe out and enjoy nature. Our only problem was we didn't stay long enough. Nothing.
- Thomas (10/5): - The apartment was spacious and comfortable. Great close location to Bells Beach and Torquay. Thank you for hosting us.

- Clyde (8/5): Very good - The kitchen was just too small and lacked bench space.
- Janet (5/5): No frills accommodation at reasonable cost - Keys and letter were waiting at reception on arrival. I met the owner Terry the following morning when departing and had a little chat about the animals. The cottage had everything we needed for our one night stay. The cottage is a bit rustic especially given the outside area. I was okay with it but my companions were not impressed. Booked it to be near the winery but should have checked the opening times.
- Jane (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely grounds, comfortable roomy house, home away from home. Hosts were communicative and helpful.
- Natalie (8/5): Very good - It was quite serene. An excellent location to the town's. There was no insect spray to kill the insects as there was no screen door.Also second bedroom could use a fan.And screens were not effective.
