Welcomed by a ripper of a bloke Paki from New Zealand. Made us feel more than welcome. The property was fine for us and I had no problems with it however on the down side you need to be fit to climb the hill to the cabin unless you use your car all the time. The setting was perfect nestled into the hillside with a caravan park either side. A river runs close by and the ocean can be heard easily. You are surrounded by gum trees so nature on your door step.

My first stay in an eco tent, and it could not have been happier or more comfortable in its simple, no-fuss way. The view over the valley and birdlife provided constant pleasure, added to in the early evening by kangaroos nd the bush track below. A true retreat.

My partner and I stayed at the cottages and had the best time! The location is in a perfect spot, literally walking distance to the main part of Lorne and close to everything you need. The cottages themselves are also so nice, very clean and well equipped. The general manager (paki) is also the biggest legend and made the stay so easy for us. Would definitely reccomend and we will be back!

The garden/bush setting of Great Ocean Road Cottages makes it feel like it is further away from the town that it really is. Mostly we could hear birds rather than cars or people. It was very peaceful. But it is only a few minutes walk to the main supermarket and 5-10 minutes to the beach and main shopping/restaurant area. My only caveat is that a couple of the beds in the family cottages are on a mezzanine level with steep stairs, which would not be suitable for everyone. If you only plan to use the downstairs double bed this will not be an issue.

Hi and Thank you for your great review. We are very fortunate indeed to be nestled away in our own little paradise here and are very happy that we have the opportunity to share it. We do advertise clearly that the mezzanine floor upstairs is via a ladder or steep staircase, to avoid any misconception. We hope you get another chance to come and stay with us and we send compliments of the new season to you. Kind Regards

By far the best hospitality that I have ever recieved. The general manager was incredibly accommodating and very much cared about our experience. After talking for a few minutes, he gave my wife and I a bottle of wine. Place is very cute, cozy. Heaters worked great, no issues with wifi, hot water was plentiful

Nice and close to shops, beach and supermarket is just a couple of minute walk down the road. Beautiful spot in the trees, cockatoos are very friendly. Only negative things I could say is that it is parking isn't the best but other than that o highly recommend! !!

Everything We Needed
Stayed for the weekend with a 4 and 5 year old. Kids loved the mezzanine bedroom and had no problem getting up and down the steps. We had the family cottage number 1, (which had the wooden steps and a rail instead of ladder) Room was clean and cosy, the views were beautiful as was the birds who greeted us on the balcony (please don't be tempted to feed them) I loved all the windows, everyone had a lush green garden and bush view. The location was ideal, we walked to shops and the beach and handy supermarket right nextdoor. The only thing that dissapointed us was the bque facility's or lack of. We brought meat and salads to cook for our Saturday night dinner only to find a rusty, dirty bque and an empty gas bottle attached. It was too late to go find somewhere else to cook and we were starving so we had to go out for dinner down at the Italian resturant (which I dont recomend due to its very limited menu) Overall I would stay again, the road trip into the Otways and Beech forest waterfalls was our highlight! Erskine is nice but I highly recomend delving in further if u have the time.

Close to town and no particular ocean views, but terrific anyway. We liked the layout of the cottage, the bed was very comfy, the owners helpful and friendly.There are beautiful gardens and lots of native birds. We thought the value for money was excellent and would definitely recommend these cottages, especially for stays of a few days or longer.

Cottage had sweeping views across to the ocean, was roomy inside and provided a great place to enjoy the beauty of Lorne. Although our stay was wet and wintry the cottage allowed us to be warm inside and enjoy the views and wildlife that came up to the verandah.

We absolutely loved staying there it was amazing, being among the trees and nature , being visited by cookaburras, parrots and cockatoos made it an experience to remember , in a warm cosy cottage, definitely go back again. Perfect location, hidden away yet close to everything in town. Thank-you.

We were greeted with a friendly and helpful Manager. Our room was ready to go with heater on which was lovely. We had a great spot. We had trouble with our TV and I wanted to watch a particular show so to my delight we were allowed to use another room to watch this show. To me this shows great customer service. Thank you so much for making our stay great!
