It was nice and quiet with a great view of the ocean. The enclosed balcony would be great in warmer weather. My only suggestion would be to properly fence the area at the back of house so the dogs could go outside without me having to take them all the time. Would recommend this place to others. ##### Jacky J.

This house is perfect! The view is truly magical. To one side you feel like youre sitting within a famous bush painting with tall native trees and colourful Australian birds and then to the other you have beautiful ocean views. At night you feel like you could almost touch the stars. This truly is a place where the bush meets the beach and magic happens.Great Ocean Road Real Estate were wonderful to deal with from the start. So friendly and always happy to help. The owners of the property also made us feel very welcome with a lovely card, a welcome bottle of wine and lots of consideration for what a comfortable visit might need. The living area and kitchen were comfortable, modern and had everything you could think of. And, that beautiful seating area near the window, that was most definitely our favourite spot to sit and completely relax any time we had a chance. Our kids loved using the telescope to assess the waves, how many kids were on the beach and watch birds and other things going on around us. The house is a short 3-minute walk from the caf/store and local pub which are all sensational. We loved being able to lunch at the caf while the kids played in the playground and then regularly stepped up from the beach to the pub for a drink, gelati or meal. No matter where you turn, everyone in Wye River is super friendly it feels like a world of its own. We loved this visit and have rated it as one of our family favourites. Thank you Ocean Magic for sprinkling your magic on our family summer holiday! ##### Mario This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nat 13 Jan 2019 #### Perfect summer holiday We loved our summer holiday at Ocean Magic.
