Phoebe and Dylan's Shack is exactly as depicted in the photos. The decor is lovely with a tonne of cool vintage items throughout the house. The record player, books, board games and fire create a great atmosphere.

The array of Aussie wildlife was awesome - we saw Nellie, the resident koala, every day we were there as well as a bunch of other animals like cockatoos and kookaburras. It would be perfect for international travellers.

Phoebe was super helpful in the lead-up to our stay, letting us know about local roadworks etc. Plus, their recommendations in the house manual were spot on. We did the Lake Elizabeth walk, it was lovely. (If you go at dusk, there's a high chance you'll see platypus).

In case it isn't mentioned elsewhere (I can't remember) - the house is fully functional and well-stocked. The kitchen has plenty of cutlery, pots, pans etc., including a toaster, kettle, and a bunch of staple foods. In the bathroom there is shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste and a hairdryer.

We loved staying here. Phoebe and Dylan have great taste and were lovely. The location is beautiful and perfect for travelling round the Great Ocean Road and surrounding areas.

It is worth noting that, like most ocean properties, the Shack is at the top of quite a steep driveway with stairs (and quite a big hill if you are walking to town). This caused us no issues but if you are staying with anyone who isn't exceptionally mobile, it might not be ideal.
