The cottage is clean and gorgeous! A perfect place for stargazing at night - unclouded by street lights, pollution or skyscrapers, which was the main reason why I picked this place for my road trip to the Twelve Apostles. The place is really chilly at night, given that it is near the ocean and at this time of the year. But setting up camp fires is strictly prohibited, something I should have checked with Sam before getting this place. It is not an issue, but if you have the thought of setting up one, DON'T. We set one up (don't judge) but we had to put it out quickly after being told that it is not allowed, hopefully that did not cause any inconvenience to any of the tenants there. There is barely any restaurants or grocery stores within the nearby distance, nearest would be at Apollo Bay which is a 15min drive away. So I do recommend stocking up on your food supplies, or grabbing dinner first before heading to the cottage to rest for the night. Towels are provided, but not toiletries, so do pack your own for the trip. I did not get to meet Sam in person, but I did get to meet the managers, and they were incredibly helpful. We got to the apartment later than we hoped and by then, it was dark. It took a bit of navigating to find the place in pitch darkness. This is a great place to escape city life and enjoy the countryside a bit. Oh, there is no TV in the cottage too, so no distractions! My only complaint is that we did not have enough time to extend our stay at this cottage. Overall, I highly recommend this place.
