Loved everything about the place!

It was truly incredible! The service was outstanding, we arrived at 9 pm and everyone we met was so nice, we had dinner made by a lady who works on the property and it was delicious homemade chicken curry and slow-cooked beef. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed, the place is beautiful at night as you can see all the stars shine in the sky, and during the day you can enjoy the farm and feel like you're the only person in the place! The location is also good, 3 min from the 12 apostles, and very recommended if you're doing the Great Ocean Road like we did, I hope I'll get the chance to come back soon!

The Manager Eric was great. There was nobody to greet us in reception when we arrived. Eric came to our door later and apologized for the lack of people. He suggested several things to do for the evening and also provided a device that was necessary to use the TV. The overall feeling was that the place was old and tired.

This was the perfect place to stay for visiting the twelve apostles. So close and so quiet. We couldn’t have asked for a better reception when we arrived. Everything was perfect and the shower was unbelievable on a cold night. Couldn’t fault a thing

Very good experience. Seems like the new owner is doing a great job at tidying the place up and buying new equipment such as smart TVs, exhaust fans in the bathroom, electric blankets and other equipment. We loved the location and the friendly dog as well. Very highly recommended
