Shocked at the level of cleanliness, linen looked like it had not been washed. Some level of dust is expected but this had not been cleaned. No extra pillows to be found. Appalled at the level of cleanliness. There were no other guests on the premises, not a high turnover but still a poor level of upkeep in terms of hygiene standards. Host was accomodating to exchange clean pillows but would recommend host come in every now and then to check standards are being maintained. ##### Ahmad Khalil Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael D. 8 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquil This property is an excellent place to stay.

It was a good location to start exploring the Otways We would just suggest 2 more dining chairs if accommodating 4 people (otherwise its really comfortable),and to replace the cutlery ( hard to butter toast with steak knives )and the dinner plates (huge!!)

Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Katherine V. 29 Apr 2022 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Too overpriced. Small and space is not functional. Hard to walk in toilet & hard to open front door The place was very small and not that functional. Lounge room was very small with no TV for chillout / relax area. The toilet was also very small, we could barely walk in without hitting our shins on the toilet bowl. It was very confusing on how to enter the property as there were sections that were closed off on the driveway. The property appears very old and not properly maintained, including all the utilities and utensils. The table tennis area looked very dangerous to enter, lots of rubbish surrounding the area and dust and dirt everywhere. I think the price was way too expensive for what it is and would not recommend it to anyone else. ##### Katherine V.

Cosy with the heaters on, well equipped. Beautiful location in among the rainforest but close to the beach. ##### Marian T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Merryn F. 11 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super cosey We very much enjoyed our short stay at your stunning property. The location was incredible with stunning scenery and the cabin itself was extremely well appointed and very comfortable. This is not an area we have been to before but would definitely return to your lovely location in the future. ##### Merryn F.

It's surrounded by trees and a paddock next door. The property had everything we needed plus nice big windows to see the surroundings and plenty of added touches like a wood fire, coffee & cereal, milk + eggs in the fridge etc. Would definitely recommend this to a friend. ##### Simon W. ---
