A clean and very comfortable home with excellent facilities. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with an excellent coffee machine which was a welcomed bonus. The fireplace was beautiful and worked well with plenty of firewoodThe outlook had wonderful views of green paddocks and the ocean. We would stay again.

Wow what a view!

Nice house with a well equipped kitchen. The main bedroom needs the air con to be working in our opinion. We found the TV a bit far from the sofa but we certainly enjoyed having Foxtel! The birdlife here is absolutely spectacular!

Amazing view, cosy wood fire

Our family (5 people over 3 generations) had a relaxed and comfortable stay in this lovely property. On the plus side: the gardens are extensive, great for kids and dogs to roam in. The kitchen is well set up with a good coffee machine and everything you need to make your own meals. Great fireplace in the centre of the main living area - we had three fires even in the middle of Summer (the evenings can get cool.) And the view is the best of all - a sweeping vista down to the sea that's always slowly changing. We saw beautiful clear blue skies and seas on some days, and also misty mornings where visibility was down to 200m or so. Things to consider: there's only one bathroom and toilet - we made this work but occasionally there was a bit of a queue, eg for bed preparations. And also, we found the seating arrangements slightly odd - the sofa's in an awkward place to comfortable watch the (very big) TV - so we ended up moving chairs in front of the TV to watch the Australian Open. And while the view's fabulous, there aren't many places to comfortably enjoy it from (a hedge grows along most of the front balcony at about chest height). From inside the house, you need to be standing at one of the windows to see the view, which felt like a waste/pity. These quibbles aside, we had a great stay and enjoyed the easy access to Melba Falls (just around the corner).

Beautiful vista of nature and wildlife

We loved the central location to explore the Great Ocean Road. Being in the hills was nice. Please note that the closest town is small with one general store with coffee shop and one nice restaurant. So planning most meals while driving is best for this location. House was roomy.

Peaceful location

A peaceful location. The Ottways turned on the winter weather & the fire was very welcome. Close to fabulous waterfalls & Ottway rainforest drives. A little drive from the surf coast, but not a hardship considering that gorgeous stretch of coast. Was very hard to find the driveway at night & dangerous trying to turn right back onto GOR - its safer to go left & turn around. I also found it hard to dry the familys clothes after hard muddy days of hiking as there was no dryer ... A comfortable stay, well provisioned.

Amazing location & view

This lovely, clean house with an amazing clear views of Cape Otway was only exceeded by the very friendly hosts Margaret & Raf. Their communication was always speedy and helpful - one day the dishwasher broke down - they literally replaced it with a new one the next day! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a relaxing time with our young children. We'll definitely be back!

Gone surfin' is well located high above the ocean, with great views. The fireplace is amazing. We used it every night as the weather was clear and cool. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and easy to work in, albeit we had to fiddle with the oven settings a bit! We had lovely drives through the forest and along the coast and did some fabulous walks, all in all a great few days out of the city.
