Located about 15 minutes from Twelve Apostles, Arabella Country house is a traditional style, clean comfortable bed and breakfast. Neil is a great host chatting with all the guests, while Lynne takes care of check in and making breakfast. They are both SO very kind and we were well cared for. It's why we stay in B&Bs. Rooms are a good size with views of cows (and a fox!) in the pasture and the sea just beyond. It was no problem that the rooms didn't have their own refrigerator, as there was one in the hallway with complimentary water and cold drinks, a fruit bowl, and coffee, tea and biscuits in the lounge. We recommend without hesitation and will return on our next trip to the Great Southern Road.

Very clean, comfortable, spacious bedroom and bathroom with private entrance. A delicious breakfast, an amazing view, friendly hosts, easy access to The Twelve Disciples and similar Great Ocean Road tourist sights

Excellent proximity to the apostles and numerous other excellent viewing spots. Gibson's Steps, Ard Loch Gorge and Muttenhead Island. Friendly and knowledgable owners.

The location is superb . The place is immaculate and the hosts have thought of everything . The view from the house is fabulous and it is peaceful and quiet at night . A place spend a day or two and explore the countryside around Princetown .

Fantastic farm with rolling fields all the way to the nearby beach. Neil & Lynne were magnificent hosts regaling us with some local history. The rooms are spotless, the bed comfy and the view awesome. Great daily home cooked breakfast prepared by Lynn that was delicious. Just awesome country hospitality. A credit to the region.

Lynne and Neil are the loveliest, most accommodating hosts we have dealt with on any holiday. They went above and beyond with recommendations, advice and even a lift down to an amazing hiking track. The breakfast was plentiful and the chance to socialise with the other guests was not something I would normally do but in this instance was a defining part of our trip. We read reviews about people having to travel for food but coming from gippsland, a 15-20 minute drive up the road is nothing, especially since you'll be spending most of your day out and about anyway. Also it's not just a 15 minute drive up the road; It's a 15 minute drive up THE GREAT OCEAN road! That's what you're there to see!? Super close to the apostles and a number of other iconic sites. We ate at Port Campbell for dinner most nights. Highly recommend the local pub and the pizza place. The foreshore restaurants were meh.

Beaut breakfast. Good start to the day for walking a section of the Great Ocean Walk through to the Twelve Apostles. Arabella is close to Princetown, where there's a nice boardwalk through wetlands. From Princetown its a 7km walk to the Twelve Apostles ... beaut area, and many scenic spots along that whole coastline through to Port Campbell and beyond. Arabella itself is set in farming country with a lovely view across fields to the coast.

Excellent location and fabulous country house with great view of garden and nature

One day was not enough. A beautiful and comfortable location. Excellent views from the room. Neill and Lyn were great and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. Defiantly recommend it and will be coming back for more days.

Very friendly owners and lovely scenery around the place!
