Best holiday house we've ever stayed in. Everything you could need or want.
The house is HUGE and has everything you could possibly need or want for a trip away from home. The owner Rob was very welcoming and generous and keeps his property well stocked with toiletries, pantry basics, linen and towels. He also has great local knowledge and pointed us in the direction of some hidden treasures. A fantastic house with room for everyone to spread out and have their own space.

Fantastic Property!!!
We had a group of more than one family and the place was perfect! The location was perfect with easy access to everything Warrnambool has to offer. Great place for speedway Travellers to even though it's on the other side of town to the track it's a straight through trip and very easy to get there. From booking to our stay and everything else Bob and Di were the perfect hosts and I cannot rate them highly enough. We've already made another booking for our next trip!! A must stay location!! Thanks a million Bob and Di.

Absolutely Beautiful
We have spent three days from the 10th to the 13th of January. The place was very spacious and clean. It presented beautifully with many extras which is above our expectations. The owners are very kind, friendly and helpful. If the place was not to be booked the day after us we would have stayed longer. We have to say it was a very delightful stay.

Great home for large number of people
88 Austral Place was a great overnight place for my family and extended family to stay at. It was very spacious, ticked all the boxes with number of rooms and bathrooms. It was very clean and tidy and Robert was an amazing host. His communication was always prompt and welcoming. All his extra touches such as information on local area, fruit bowl, fresh milk and wine was lovely! I had a very memorable stay and regret not booking an extra day. I would highly recommend this place for everyone who is exploring the Great Ocean Road area or wanting a getaway at a relaxing place. A big big thank you Robert. We hope to return soon.

Perfect house for groups wanting to stay together but have their own space.
Every summer my extended family spend a week together. This is the best house we have stayed in so far. Each family had their own room and bathroom. A beautiful big table that fitted all of us. Comfortable couches. Comfortable beds. Wheelchair friendly for all but one room. Wheelchair friendly for all bathrooms. Everything has been thought of. The house has everything you could possibly need. Beautiful and clean. Lots of thoughtful details and extras provided including a lovely gift on arrival. We’d love to stay again. We also loved the electric piano as our family consists of many musicians. Thank you Debbie and Ron
