Set along the picturesque Great Ocean Road with amazing, sweeping views, the cottage provided for a great getaway weekend for our family over the Great Ocean Road Running Festival. We loved the cottage, and it was so convenient for us to get to both Kennett River and Apollo Bay. The kids adored the open space, and they declared the garden was 'humungous!' There were a few noise and issues with another group staying in the dormitory-style rooms nearby (who had little respect a 'reasonable hour' - no fault of the host but it did impact on our stay), but aside from this, we found the cottage cosy and welcoming. It was beautifully set up, very clean with ample sleeping space, and had a great basic kitchen that would have been well-used had we stayed longer. The fully-stocked puzzle and games shelf, comfy couches and wood-fired heater (we brought our own firewood) meant the escape from technology provided such wonderful, relaxing relief! Sam was a wonderful host, communicated well, and we thank him and his family for sharing their space with us. We wished we could stay longer, and we will absolutely be back at a different time of year.
