Guest Reviews

Mohammad Obayed (7/5): -
Dean (10/5): Surprisingly good - The breakfast was a unexpected bonus. The facilities in the apartment were exceptional. You can see there was a lot of love in the appearance and decor of the accomodation. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. There possibly could have been a path to the ocean for those that like to walk.
Marc (8/5): For us...a complete unwind - Remoteness of location, authenticity of working farm, views and quiet. Nil
Pauline (9/5): - Beautiful location and the cabins were very homely and comfortable Nothing
Claire (9/5): - Beautiful property and gorgeous views🙌🏻
Curnow (10/5): - Great views, very quiet
Dulari (9/5): Charming Stay with Amazing Look - We had a lovely stay at High View Cottage in Warrnambool. The views were absolutely stunning and very relaxing, perfect for a quiet getaway. The cottage itself is quite small but comfortable and well-maintained.
Gilles (9/5): - Super clean, tidy and looked new with all we could have hoped for a short stay. Well equipped with all amenities in the cottage and located on the grounds of a family farm with great landscape views all around. Dog friendly and yet well maintained and clean. Great welcome message from the host and the location is superb, only a very short drive away to Warrnambool on the coast and there's a supermarket closeby within minutes. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Rachael (9/5): Cute getaway with a beautiful view - The cottage had a beautiful view with a lovely sunset. We sadly couldn't bring our dog in the end, but it was a very dog friendly site, with dog fences, water bowls, poo bags and a kennel. The bed and towels were both very comfortable and there was some small breakfast items. We were only there for a short time, but I would go back to enjoy the cabin more. The whole stay was great! The outdoor sensor light turned on quite a bit (which lit up the room) throughout the night but apart from that no complaints!
Wayne (9/5): Great place quiet great view and fantastic for our dogs as well :) Well appointed -
christophe (10/5): Sur la Great Ocean Road, un endroit plein de charme - Très beau cottage très confortable avec beaucoup de charme et une vue superbe ! À réserver sans hésiter N/A, tout était parfait

andy (7/5): -
Stephanie (9/5): - Serenity is beautiful
Kevin (10/5): Excellent, my dog and I enjoyed very much. - Firstly it is dog friendly. Well fenced and dogs allowed inside is great! Also plenty of space to walk around in. For a dog friendly place it is very neat and clean inside, well looked after, could not fault it. Also the bread, cereal, butter, milk, spreads and tea&coffee supplies are great, much appreciated. Not far out of town centre, beach and parks. All good, thanks! Nothing I can think of, all good.
Abigail (10/5): Great Stay, great Location and great view. - Location and hosts were great ! Comfy bed

Jerusalem (7/5): - High View Cottage is a lovely place to stay. The location is very nice and peaceful, set on a quiet farm which makes it perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The surroundings are calm and beautiful. One small issue is that the door knob needs to be replaced, as the key tends to get jammed quite often. Other than that, we had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.
Rebecca (10/5): What a gem, our family had a wonderful stay, wish it could have been longer. Highly recommended High View Family Cottag - Super neat and tidy, excellent location, quiet and just a short trip into town. Nothing!

Kanchana (9/5): - The location, view, rooms, kitchen, and living area are all spacious.
Marie Alice (10/5): - The view is absolutely gorgeous ! The address is not so hard to find once you follow the instructions given. The place is clean, cosy and quiet.
Livia (10/5): -
Weight (8/5): Great accommodation and ideal stay with dog/s. would highly recommend. - Location was great, views very nice. Backyards for dog were fabulous. QS bed was very comfortable Clarity at time of booking as to what was booked. Cottages or Lodge? Water views not available with Lodge. Shared laundry facilities at Lodge should be explained at time of booking not after. Ensure gates to yard are shut and likewise with laundry doors when other party is finished with facilities. These are small points regarding an enjoyable stay.
Andrew (10/5): Coastal views, rural setting, close to everything. - We loved the location and coastal views. It was the perfect place from which to explore the region.
Maria (10/5): -
Nav (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay - The property was well maintained . The rooms especially the kitchen and bathroom were spotless.The basic supplies like tea coffee bread milk cereal etc provided by the host were plenty for our family to have breakfast for two mornings
Georgie (10/5): Hows the serenity? - The views, location, lovely host The wind! Lol

Kelsie (10/5): - Great little cottage with a lovely view. Host was very welcoming and accomodating.
Bethany (9/5): -
Helene (10/5): Recommend to anyone travelling to Warrnambool. And if you have a pup so much the better - Beautiful country. Magnificent view. All we needed. We had our little dog with us and he had a ball - meeting his first horse, sheep, and chickens. Also the yard immediately around the house was totally dog proof so no chance of him escaping. Absolutely lovely people. Would love to go back in summer (though the cottage was perfectly warm) Was not a thing not to like
Doris (10/5): -
Bryan (10/5): - The view 😍
Jessica (8/5): Beautiful view - Clear communication from hosts. Simple breakfast supplies. Comfortable beds. Excellent view. No dishwasher (I just hope previous guests clean up with soap!)
Andrea (10/5): -
Emma (10/5): - The views were wonderful The property was very clean tidy. It was very thoughtful of them to leave breakfast cereal and muffins out for guests
Samantha (10/5): A beautiful spot to visit with ample space for pets to roam around. - Lovely cottage with everything you need in a quiet and beautiful scenic location. Hosts were very friendly yet gave you your space as desired. Nothing.
John (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable accommodation great views great bed slept like a baby 🤣 great utilities especially when cooking our own meals Wouldn't say i didn't like anything it's a cottage on a farm there during winter but we had everything we needed to stay warm
Lisa (9/5): A great friendly place to stay with our dog - Being able to walk around the horse agistment area , being able to take our dog with us . There was a good area for our dog . Staff on the property were friendly when we interacted with them but also gave us our space . The cabins were nice and clean I think it would be great to have a wire door along with the front door as bring quite warm there were a lot of bugs and being able to have more fresh air without them getting in would have been great
Graham (9/5): A great place to stay out of town - This accommodation is in a quiet location a few hundred metres back from a secondary road off the highway but only 10m drive from Warrnambool. The layout is practical. The shower is excellent. The beds are comfortable, even the bunk bed. With a howling gale blowing from the West, the cottage was cozy once the reverse cycle was turned on. There was a friendly horse in a paddock beside the driveway. Nothing I can think of.
Ajay (9/5): Superb - Excellent host, everything was clean and tidy and well equipped, we had wonderful and relaxing stay. We requested for a late check out and they happly accepted our request. Will definately consider staying there when we visit next time.
Tim (10/5): Excellent definitely stay again -
Rodney (10/5): Exceeded expectations. Staff go above and beyond. Great value for money. - The staff were friendly and couldn’t help enough. Everything was supplied from toiletries to tea and coffee, even milk in the fridge. Laundry provided as well. Nothing.
Cheryl (7/5): Good location and lovely setting. - Breakfast was ok. Maybe farm eggs could've been included, soft butter and better coffee. Views and sunset was lovely. Heating worked well. Sleeping arrangements. I was told the second room had a separate bed, not a squishy trundle.
Kripa (8/5): Secluded and pleasant stay - Secluded and private location. Fenced yard for dog. Comfortable bed Nothing!
Matthias (10/5): Exceptional - Was such a beautiful spot, had a wine watching the sunset with the ocean view, the cottage was so comfy and easy to access. Lovely garden area for our dog, hosts were very friendly, we will definitely come back. 10 mins driving from town, great location. Bonus if you love horses as it is also a stable
Christine (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing lodge, suited for families. Lovely spacious place, and the continental breakfast supplied was a great addition!! Bread and cereals for us all on the Easter Sunday, saved us hunting for a supermarket. Would highly recommend! Nothing
Ezra (10/5): Exceptional -
Ian (10/5): Fantastic, relaxing location - This location is the perfect get away from the hustle and bustle of life with open fields and a stunning view it's the perfect location for a good book and a glass of wine. It also has the option of Warrnambool Town been 10 minuets in the car. Facilities are fantastic with continental breakfast supplied if you want it. The cottages are so well equipped you will not be without anything inconsistent temperature to shower.
Chorh (10/5): Fantastic, love the stay and will book again :-) - The owner was very thoughtful with first day continental breakfast provided. Love the location! So nice waking up to no traffic noise, great view in the morning having breakfast in the front porch looking across the paddy, beautiful sunset in the evening and absolutely love the starry night at night. 5mins easy drive from Warrnambool business district. Nothing.
Anne (8/5): Excellent location for a short/lengthy trip. Very intimate location. Quiet, peaceful, perfect place! - Location was fab. Very quiet with a stunning view over the fields and the water. Away from major streets, so super, super quiet. Nice starry sky ay night. Surrounded by lots of animals.
Dalmond (8/5): Very good - Close to Port fairy and accessible to supermarkets/town. Parking just in front of the door for the lodge. I love horses, so it was great to meet some of them. Clean lodge and comfy bed. So quiet and peaceful I am satisfied with my stay. With some renovation this place would look so luxurious! And i just wish there was 2 queen/double bed instead of 2 bunk beds. But it would not be an issue for a family of 2-4 children.
Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Peaceful location and fenced yard for small dog.
Xiaonan (10/5): Exceptional -
Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
Kerry⁷ (8/5): It was really nice though - View was nice and it was quiet Area for the pup was bit dirty with buts of rubbish and weeds. She kept finding plastic old bones and rubbish in the yard. Having the two yards together was a problem as she could get her head thru the fence and on the last night there was an aggressive dog next door.
Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - Relaxing Nothing
Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
Philip (10/5): Comfortable stay. Loved the experience of staying on the farm - Great view. Yard for our dog to run around.

Hayley (9/5): A beautiful place to stay and enjoy the sunset. - The puppies were a highlight for us. The place was clean and well equipped. Breakfast provisions a bonus. Hosts were easygoing and accommodating Great place to bring a dog if you need with a fenced yard.
Ezra (10/5): Exceptional -
Trevor (10/5): Exceptional - The Views are amazing...there is everything you need and more.... shame the other room were bunk beds and not another double as we were 4 adults perfect for kids tho. Yes I would recommend 👌 Bunk bed room was extremely hot with 2 adults sleeping in there.
Anthony (9/5): Relaxing with stunning views and sunsets - Stunning little cottages. View was amazing, looking over the wetlands, property, dunes and ocean. The sunsets were amazing. Nice and quiet with a nice rail run, which led to the beach (about 4-5kms). Great to walk around the property and see the horses and only a few minutes away from the town. Will definitely be back. Only a slight minor downside was the water pressure could be stronger, everything else was great
Hasina (10/5): Exceptional - The location, cleanliness, facilities NA
Edinson (10/5): Highly recommend. - Great place to chill out and enjoy some good time with family.
Ha (9/5): Superb -
Chuan (10/5): Exceptional -
Waayers (10/5): Great accomodation, really lovely friendly host. Couldnt get better - Everything especially the view. Wow Loved all of it
Lachlan (8/5): It was a pleasant stay and because we could leave the dogs onsite, this enabled us to go into town and and enjoy the hot - The location and view were exceptional and the yard for the dogs was fantastic. The hut was comfortable. It was nice being able to visit the horses and seeing the puppies and chickens. Such lovely hosts as well. The surface of the table in the hut and the floor boards were a little sticky. This may just require a different cleaning technique. There are no complaints about the cleanliness as such. Also, there was no recycling bin.
Lachlan (8/5): Very good -
Jinkee (10/5): Exceptional - The view. Beds were comfortable. Had space for everyone and our pet had a good size yard to run around in.
Shruthi (9/5): Superb -
Tana (1/5): Not what we thought we were getting (expensive for what you get) - View was nice. Kitchen was dirty & unsanitary. Stove & pan was rusted. There were cups in the cupboard that were unclean. There were cereal and spreads that were all out of date. No where to sit outside as the wooden bench was falling apart and covered in bird shit. Stairs leading outside had bird shit everywhere (even a nest with birds was in the corner of the porch; later that day a dead bird fell onto the porch) Listed to accommodate dogs. However, there was no fencing at all to let our dogs off the leash. Listing on booking.com was misleading as there were no photos of the lodge, only the cottage that I thought I was paying for. PLEASE be careful when booking your stay here.
Victoria (7/5): Could be great with a few tweaks, as the location is stunning. - Stunning location. Great quality of bedding. Pup friendly. Spiders. Shower pressure.
Fiona (10/5): Lovely spacious accommodation in a special location - The location-the comfort and space and the staff nothing
Janesh (9/5): Great farm stay with real farmers. - Great property. There were horses and other animals in the farm. The host and family was lovely welcoming and happy for us to be interacting with the animals. Felt at home which was most important. Cottage is a bit old, otherwise all good.
James (6/5): Pleasant - Great views... Place could do with a clean and an upgrade
Rick (8/5): Had a good comfortable stay, host was very helpfull, Great place when you have a pet along. -
Rebecca (10/5): Thank you for the stay, we thoroughly enjoyed it and will return in the future. - Beautiful property, very comfortable and clean. Great scenery and location. The family and pups had a great time.
