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. Weā€™d love to stay again. We also loved the electric piano as our family consists of many musicians. Thank you Debbie and Ron

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.
