Guest Reviews
- Davina (10/5): Perfectly private a great way to spend a weekend relaxing. - The accommodation was just what we were looking for to have a weekend of relaxation listening to the waves. A secluded spot away from town was perfect.
- Rebecca (10/5): Ocean views and koalas= unforgettable vacation - The location was very convenient for exploring the Great Ocean Road and nearby Apollo Bay had everything we needed for groceries, meals out, etc. My favorite part was driving the road to the laundry area each evening to look for koalas on the property.
- thomas (10/5): It was a wonderful stay with great wildlife all around. -
- Rajith (10/5): A peaceful, picture-perfect escape..hard to leave and easy to recommend. - Stunning ocean views..waking up to the sea every morning was unforgettable. The cottage was cosy, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. The location is perfect, and the warm hospitality made the stay even more special. Honestly, nothing…everything was excellent. Only downside was having to leave!!
- John (3/5): - Welcome pack Everything including spiders
- Andrew (10/5): Amazing stay , wonderful location and very generous hosts. - Very proactive and very engaging. Nothing
- David (9/5): - Excellent secluded location with native bush screening between the three cottages and panoramic views of the coast and sound of the waves all day. Master suite has an excellent bed which was very comfortable and sound of the waves on the beach was so relaxing we both had the best sleep we'd had in ages. Complementary small hamper and bottle of red a pleasant surprise. Cottage small but very comfortable and very homely, well laid out with verandah and deck looking over the coast and close bush teaming with colourful birds. We felt privileged to be able stay in such a nice location. Not a big issue but the TV in the family room was a bit difficult to find channels which were interstate satellite channels as no aerial and likely no TV signal. Even streaming from the phone was hit and miss via the provided WIFI.
- sandra (10/5): Lots of great info was given to us about the area. Close to nearby restaurants if you didn’t want to cook. The cottage - Loved the view and the remoteness of the property. Very relaxing ! Nothing!
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Cobus (10/5): -
- TINGTING (10/5): -
- Noelani (9/5): -
- Sam (10/5): A wonderful stay in a beautiful location. Accommodation was perfect, we’ll definitely book again! -
- Jonathan (10/5): A fabulous place to stay if you want to experience the Great Ocean Road and the Otways. - An extraordinary location with fabulous views and complete privacy. Generous gift-bag from the hosts, and a wealth of information about the area. Good kitchen (though air fryer not oven) heating/cooling excellent with a wood-burning stove that worked (on Christmas Day when it was cold enough to need one!) Everything one could need supplied (almost!) The hosts provided generous basics like salt, pepper, tea, coffee, canola oil etc and two bottles of wine, but no olive oil, these days a bit of a necessity. Other than that nothing we could think of that needed improvement.
- Elham (10/5): Two dream days in this wonderful cottage. The owner was very responsive and fast with communication. - Everything from the view to the comfort and coziness. Nothing
- Sue (9/5): Wonderful stay in a beautiful cottage with spectacular ocean views! - Spectacular ocean views! Nothing
- Reto (9/5): -
- Fiona (9/5): Relaxing home away from home. - Fantastic location. Host was extremely helpful with local information. Enjoyed watching the ocean from our cosy cottage.
- Dilshan BUDDHIKA (10/5): Loved the quiet atmosphere and natural surroundings. - I stayed at Point South by the Sea in Wongarra over the weekend, and it was an amazing experience. The place is peaceful, the ocean views are breathtaking, and the cottage was clean, cosy, and perfectly set up for a relaxing break.
The hosts were friendly and helpful, making everything smooth from arrival to check-out. It’s the ideal spot for a quiet weekend getaway, close to nature and only a short drive to Apollo Bay.
I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a beautiful coastal escape. I’d definitely come back again!

- Lizzy (9/5): -
- Joshua (6/5): Nice stay, could have been better. Beautiful views. - Good kitchen facilities, bbq, outdoor heater and amazing view. Host was great and provided a hamper Could have been a bit cleaner inside. Appreciate staying in the countryside but lots of little bugs inside. Also had 2 huntsmen appear in the bedroom about 11pm which was an experience for the family. Not an issue for some but for others, especially tourists something to be aware of.
- James (10/5): -
- Joe (10/5): This was a very relaxing stay in a property that was well apportioned and had great views. - Very clean and well designed. Nothing.

Bryan is a wonderful host — he welcomed us with a generous welcome pack and provided extremely detailed instructions on how to get to the property, along with great recommendations for restaurants and cafes. I truly enjoyed my stay and would love to return. Folks, one night is not enough — stay at least two nights or longer to fully enjoy the view and the serenity! Nothing

The views were breathtaking and one quickly feels at peace.
Clean and comfy. Provisions were thoughtfully and generously made available.
Owner, Bryan, responds quickly and was on site to welcome us and helped us with planning the sights in the area. Not a thing.
- Waheeda (10/5): Exceptional - I liked everything from the accommodation to the nice view of the great ocean, as seen from our bed. Bryan and Joan were very nice. Their hospitality was awesome. Highly recommended. There is nothing that I dislike.
- Daniel (10/5): Fabulous in Apollo Bay - The owner met us and explained the home operation & gave us the key. Wonderful welcome foodie gift basket including wine. Well stocked cottage. Super comfy bed & pillows. Private & secure it was a haven of peace & relaxation.and of course THE VIEW,, 5 Stars !! We loved its serenity & watching the wildlife & birds. Awesome fireplace with wood & a gas bbq. Guest laundry available nearby on owners property. We cooked in every night, great tips from the owner on grocery stores & restaurants & points of interest. Bonus: he has koalas & wallaby’s on this vast coastal property! It could have been a little bit cleaner but probably fine for the average traveler.
- Norman (10/5): Private accommodation with a gorgeous view of the ocean and all the amenities for a comfortable stay - The view, the fireplace, comfortable bed, private, outdoor grill, hospitality of host, koala sighting nothing, liked it all
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amanda (10/5): Points South by the Sea is a place of healing and comfort, a great getaway! - Bryan was very thoughtful in developing the webpage with key info and also checked in with us before and during the trip to make sure everything was alright.
The place and scenery was very “healing” to just while away time, while my husband entertained himself watching YouTube shows on the TV. The bedroom really could get quite cold as we were warned… I supposed because it was facing the Southern Ocean. Thankfully it was not winter and with the aircon and radiator, we were able to get by and didn’t require the extra blankets provided.
- Luke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Liv (10/5): Immaculate - the view, the location, the fire and the coziness of the property
- Kathleen (10/5): One of the best!!! - Very private and gorgeous views!
- Paul (10/5): Its a must visit for the views and comfort - From the moment we arrived this little piece of paradise it was honestly the best. The self-contained "cottage" as tip top and we had fun cooking dinner each night whilst enjoying the amazing view with a nice glass of red at hand. We also explored the many waterfalls and hiking trails that seem to be everywhere in the Otway’s. On the property itself we saw Koalas and wombats. We are looking forward to our return visit in the very near future. This place was truely amazing. Could not fault it!
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome ocean view, wood fire and a glass of wine. Perfect!
And a great host. Thanks Bryan
- Dinuka (10/5): Exceptional -
- Claire (10/5): One of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed - Breakfast was provided and extra goodies. A free hamper, including wine. Lovely toiletries - by La Occitane. Nothing. Everything was spot on. Even a personal explanation from the host at our convenience.
- Danaë (8/5): Very good -
- Karyn (10/5): Just beautiful, a great way to unwind -
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (10/5): Luxurious Hidden Gem - Bryan and Joan's bed and breakfast is a hidden gem nestled in a breathtaking location with panoramic views that truly take your breath away. The cozy fireplace and inviting window seat nook adorned with pillows and blankets create a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the luxury of the surroundings.
Upon arrival, we were delighted to find a thoughtful goody bag and a bottle of wine, a warm gesture that immediately made us feel welcomed. The balcony equipped with a Weber
grill and a gas heater provided a wonderful outdoor retreat, perfect for enjoying the scenery.
What truly set our stay apart was Bryan and Joan's abundant local knowledge. Their recommendations for eateries and attractions were spot-on, ensuring we experienced the best the area had to offer. Their passion for hospitality shone through in every detail, making our stay not just comfortable but truly memorable.
If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with personalized touches and stunning views, Bryan and Joan's bed and breakfast is the ideal choice. We can't wait to return and explore more of what this charming retreat has to offer.
- Ken (9/5): Loved it. We were sorry to leave. - Amazing view. Generous welcome hamper. Cosy and comfortable. Description says there is a washing machine and dryer in the kitchen, this is not the case. There is a guest laundry 1km away up the driveway. But, you might see koalas on the way.
- Alecia (10/5): Exceptional - The whole experience was breathtaking the view and location was amazing I’d never thought I would be so lucky to sit relax near a wood fire and take in the great ocean road the sky and the ocean, will be returning.

- Michael (9/5): Brilliant! If you are doing the Great Ocean Road, it is a stunning place to base yourself. - Views of the ocean and rolling hills are amazing. Private beach was also great. A rare find. Only minor things like not enough dishwasher tabs/tissues.
- Neera (10/5): Exceeded our expectations - Amazing view both day and night especially when the sky is clear, great amenities and loved the welcome hamper.
Thank you Bryan and Joan for your hospitality, we absolutely loved our stay ! Would be back again when we’re down in the region:)

- Chris (10/5): Truly perfect - The whole stay was so relaxing taking in the amazing views and enjoying the superb facilities.Bryan and Joan had thought of everything right from the moment of booking with detailed directions and recommendations for places to visit including local restaurants- not that you will want to eat out and leave this little haven. The goodies bag including chocolates and wine was thoughtful touch but watching the dolphins and seals swim by in the mornings was the icing on the cake Nothing- everything was perfect

- Julie (9/5): Superb -
- Geralyn (10/5): Wonderful place to stay when doing the Great Ocean Drive - The views from the cottage exceeded my expectations. Nothing.

Sounds of the ocean and starry skies were beautiful.
Hosts were great and always checking in to see if all was well.
Cottage was so cosy and had everything we needed.
Private beach access was a plus. No comment. It was such a special little place and location, couldn't say anything negative.
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (10/5): A great experience on our tour of Australia - A wonderful place to stay; you will not find better on the Great Ocean Road. Bryan was a great host, with a much-appreciated gift basket on arrival. It is so good to arrive at a place that exceeds your expectations. Nothing
- Lynne (9/5): Superb - Location very comfortable Would have liked oven and washer in cottage
- Ernesto (10/5): Exceptional - Magnificent views overlooking Apollo Bay, cottage was well equipped and Bryan was a great host
- Jonathan (10/5): Didn't want to leave, immediately recommended it to everyone I could - Stayed in Cottage 1. It was superlative! The size of the room and the view of the sea could not be matched. Bryan was extremely accommodating and responsive to our needs (even coming down in the night to pass us some towels). Our toddler loved exploring the cottage.
A lot of thought had gone into the furnishing of the cottage, including an easy-to-use gas barbeque, a well equipped kitchen, spa bath and heated railings in the toilets. Nil
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dean (10/5): Waking up to a spectacular view of the ocean - This rental was well-equipped with various amenities that made the stay even more enjoyable. Apart from the cozy wood-burning fireplace and comfy sofa, the homeowners stocked the kitchen, making it convenient for making breakfast each morning. The cozy living area was perfect for relaxation, and the bedroom was comfortable and clean. Waking up to a spectacular ocean view from the bed made our stay more enjoyable. There was also a spacious deck that offered a great spot for taking in the beautiful surroundings. One of the nicest surprises was the corner window seating, which made it ideal for reading a book while listening to the waving crashing below. Additionally, the remote location provided a sense of tranquility and privacy, a significant amenity in itself, allowing for a truly peaceful and serene escape by the ocean. The homeowner's attention to detail made our stay the most enjoyable.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amanda (10/5): Absolutely perfect! Such a relaxing place to come home to after seeing beautiful beaches and waterfalls during the day ( - The openness, the views, the facilities (fire place, full kitchen, bathroom, deck with bbq), the surrounding area.
- Jaime-lee (10/5): Simply amazing - The views cottage 1 was amazing, extra fold out beds provided for the children were brought to room.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -

- Malcolm (9/5): Superb -
- Smithy168 (10/5): A little paradise - Awesome views; peaceful location; comfortable bed; window seat; cottage provisions/supplies; thoughtful welcome pack. Nothing to put here.
- Sally (10/5): Absolutely Beautiful - From the moment you enter the driveway to the moment you step into your cottage nothing is out of place. The cottage itself (cottage #2 for us) was inviting and cosy with georgeous unobstructed views of the ocean and a generous welcome gift from the owners. Everything you could want, and more, is supplied - it is like being in a home away from home. Nothing has been overlooked.
Bryan is a friendly and welcoming host and full of information about attractions in the region and recommendations of places to eat.
The weather was up and down during our stay (sun, wind, thunder, rain and hail which resulted in countless rainbows) however that didn't ruin our stay or stop us from attending several attractions.
Points South By The Sea is perfectly located, not too far out from Apollo Bay but far enough for relaxation, complete privacy and absolute peacefulness. Enjoying a movie with a glass of wine by the fireplace is just bliss.
It was so easy falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean and, at times, rain instead of the usual traffic and barking dogs back at home.
After not having a getaway for quite a few years we are thrilled to have found Points. However 2 nights just wasn't enough for us. We will definitely be back again, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Thank you Bryan & Joan for a wonderful stay.
- Xanthe (10/5): Amazing views. Highly recommended. - Stunning views and absolute serenity.
Hosts was fantastic, extremely helpful and welcoming.
