Red Cedar Cottage. Coastal retreat- wood fire. GOR

Summary:
Switch off from the world in this charming cottage, only a 10 minutes drive to the world famous 12 apostles. You have entire property to yourself, perfect place to escape. Tucked in just off the Great Ocean road, the property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. 3 large bedrooms, open plan living space with split system and wood fire, new bathroom, full kitchen & a large secure yard. Perfect for groups or families with space to relax. Only a short walk to the shops, park & beach.

The Space:
Located on the top of the town, the first house as you come in from the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road. Plenty of space, beautiful gumtrees and a fully fenced yard in the township of Port Campbell give the space a very relaxed feel. The cottage is spacious, has a new bathroom and a full kitchen to prepare meals in if you wish. Heating in the bedrooms and living spaces.

We accept pets on request and pet rules apply

Guest Access:
The entire home and surrounds are for you to enjoy!

The Neighborhood:
Port Campbell is a small quaint coastal town, with everything within walking distance and a beautiful safe swimming beach. Fresh salty air, unlimited outdoor places to explore & switch off from the world. It is located only 10 minutes drive to the world famous 12 apostles and many other natural wonders on the great ocean road such as Gibson's steps, London bridge, Lochard gorge, the grotto & the arch (see guidebook for more info or check out the visitor information website).

With so many things to see close by Port Campbell is a great base to spend a few days exploring what the area has to offer. The Bay of Port campbell is very unique as is is the ever changing outlook to the southern ocean.

Getting Around:
Plenty of free parking at the house for those on a self drive, and the yard is fully fenced and secure. Port campbell is quite isolated in terms of public transport but there is a V-Line service if you are up for a challenge.

There is also a free shuttle bus that departs from the 12 Apostles car park and takes you to princetown to allow you to do the last leg of the Great Ocean walk if you are keen to explore on foot. More info on this can be found at www.thegreatoceanwalk.com

Interaction with Guests:
I’m just a phone call away if you need me, otherwise I leave you to enjoy the space

comfortable, well quipped with the necessities, very clean. Melissa the host is excellent. She is very helpful and communicative, gives clear instructions to the property even though we have had a few misses finding our way to the house. We have had a great time. Will definately consider returning and recommending friends when visiting the Great Ocean Road next. Melissa, thank you and all the very best to you. Rgds Y V

Cottage
The host was wonderfully helpful when our credit card payment didn’t go through. I had a little trouble finding the place after dark but was very comfortable once arrived. Travellers should be aware the town and food options shut down early, so if you want to enjoy the sunset at the 12 apostles - grab a bite first!

Super location and a comfy house
The little cottage is in a private location that has its own entrance, it is clean, inviting, and cozy, has everything prepared for a family of 5, and is very close to the tourist hot spots along Great Ocean Road, highly recommend it!

Booking Mishap
We were scheduled to book this property, however, were told 2 hrs prior to arriving that it had been doubled booked. This is disheartening as we would have ridden 5 hrs to get there. Luckily the communication with owner was superb and she was able to quickly organise an alternate accommodation for us, which rarely would happen. We were very satisfied with the alternate accommodation and accepted her apology. Thanks

Last minute decision getaway
Although we usually prefer luxury accommodation, our limited options led us to this place. Place was as listed no surprises. For us it's a budget accommodation, but still good accommodation. Kitchen amenities were great. Bathroom was great. Thanks again.

Perfect way to start your holidays!
Thank you Mellisa for having us stay in this lovely property. The property was really beautiful (location was outstanding) and the kids just loved playing outdoors in the huge backyard. Check-in & Check-outs was a breeze. The property was immaculately clean and had a classic feel to it. We felt welcome post a strenuous travel. Lines were very clean, towels arranged perfectly and the shops were walking distance away. Since the weather was playing hide and seek, having a working dryer would have helped. Otherwise, everything else was super perfect. We strived hard to leave the place as good as it was given to us. I'd highly recommend this place to everyone and hope to come back here again in Feb, for my marriage anniversary. Hope you'd like to host us again :)
