We had a lovely stay at Paul’s house in the hills above Kennett River. It’s a classic old school shack, nothing fancy, but beautifully situated right up in the trees, with a resident koala (we nicknamed Jeffrey) and parrots and cockatoos that come to visit. The house was super clean making it a really comfortable stay. It is a 10-15min (very steep) walk down the road to Kennett River and beach. Adults found it walkable for morning coffee, kids not so much. (Had to take car on beach days!). Kennett River still just far enough away to not have the bustle of Lorne, and lovely beach with a cute cafe/general store.
