It's just so peaceful
This cottage was just what we needed. Had everything, even a knife sharpener. Our elderly dog was very comfortable. Views for days and the wild life and farm life were a treat. Definitely coming back here

Winter getaway.
Very clean and lovely cottage with gorgeous views. It had everything we needed. The enclosed backyard was so handy with bringing our dog and he loved the local walks. The fresh eggs were a nice surprise and the fire heated the room and provided a very cosy stay. Only minor improvements would be to fix the toilet seat as didn’t stay up, bedside light in room with single beds didn’t work. The indoor pool was a nice addition for the kids, however for a heated pool it wasn’t very heated, very cold so we only went once. Overall we really enjoyed the stay and found it a very relaxing getaway. Thank you .

A week in the country
The property was great, but the weather played havoc with our plans, and we were house bound for the first days of our stay. Thereafter, we got rained on a couple of days. Not the fault of the owners, just our bad timing on our part. The isolation was great for our relaxation, but the travel to conveniences was a little harder than expected, due the winding roads we had to drive.

Beautiful location to get away from it all!
We loved everything about this property - exploring the beach, watching the gorgeous sunsets, star gazing at night, being serenaded by the cows at night, and of course day-trips to the 12 apostles and the beautiful Apollo Bay. Loved it

A Holiday for Generations
It was a wonderful holiday for grandparents, grandkids and the people in between. The grandparents liked the simple one level layout and the grandkids liked the ability to run around. The cottage was well equipped but as the week was wet, a dryer would have come in handy.

The Perfect Ocean Getaway
Joanna Cottage was perfect for our 5 day stay - 3 adults and our dog! The views from the cottage are absolutely stunning - the beautiful window seat was a huge favourite! It's a great walk to the beach - where there's plenty to explore. Everything you could possibly need is supplied in the cottage. The beds are super comfy. We used the pool a number of times. Dennis and Sharee were very helpful with any queries we had. We will definitely be back - would highly recommend staying here.

Terrific with One Suggestion
The location is stunning and the host was very nice. We had just one issue. There really should be something in the description to say the cottage taps draw water from untreated tanks. There is a sign sitting flat on the window sill and nothing else. We had to go back to town to stock up on bottled water. Otherwise, we had a great stay. Our daughter loved the pool! Thanks to our hosts.

We absolutely loved the panoramic views from the deck of our cabin. Facilities were very comfortable including a kitchen that was well set up with all of the items we required during our stay. Our only wish was that we had warmer weather.

Great country stay
We had a great time there. Fire place in living room was really nice and cozy. It is good for gathering. Bath was big enough for two people. View was stunning. We could see rainbow , Milky Way at night ,even Kangaroos was hopping around in the morning. Hot spot can be used but it would be perfect if WIFI is available.
