This house sits at the top of a very steep hill, affording lovely views of the ocean from the deck. It is a family home, so warm and inviting in the sense that you feel relaxed and comfortable in the house. The town shops are only a 15 minute walk away, as is the river mouth and beach (however the walk back up the hill is not for the faint hearted!) We found everything we needed for cooking and food storage . Great hot water and and a second toilet made sharing with others easy. We had take away from the local Thai that was fantastic- likewise the sourdough from the supermarket and the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie is only 5 minutes down the road. Communication with Liz was easy and she readily answered all our questions . We would definitely stay here again.
