Opossum Bay Beach frontage

A dear little cottage nestled on the cusp of the sand, but we found navigating down the steep path quite daunting and unexpected. A hand rail would certainly improve this. There is no oven provision which would also have been handy to have known in advance. madmmadappliance.

We didn't want to leave.

We loved everything about our stay. The bed was very comfortable, the beach cottage had everything that we needed, being able to step out onto the beach and water was just magical. Listening to the water just metres away from the windows at night was so relaxing even watching people walk by in the mornings while having our coffee was a treat. We also do a lot of walking so having a trail close by was an added bonus. Definitely a place to come back to for a longer stay.

Wonderful stay

We had a very nice stay at opossum bay. The view from the front was amazing. Bed was very comfortable and the whole layout was good. The only negative is: that it would be good if a handrail was installed for pathway to the property. Overall we had a lovely time

Enjoyed our stay. Steep stairs were a bit difficult due to poor fitness but we were told in advance and agreed so can’t complain. The view made up for that. So relaxing watching and listening to the waves.

Fab waterfront old school shack

Unbelievable water frontage with incredible sunset views looking back at Mt Wellington. The walks on Gellibrand Reserve take you to the first whaling station in Australia. We ate fresh flathead caught off the beach and watched a seal playing in Opussum Bay.

Short stay

5 nights on the beach. Location is super, and for the price, the accommodation is great; clean and has everything you need for a self contained place. It gets very sunny in the afternoon so aircon comes in handy after a stroll along the beach. Steve was very responsive and helpful. Check in was a breeze. Thanks!
