The surroundings are excellent. The landlord couples are very nice, offering us a lot of information, let us have the opportunity to watch the wild kangaroos.

Baili, China

Central to sights like the Apostles, Otway Fly and walk and the California Redwood forest. Close to Apollo bay for dining or lunch. The property was warm and comfortable and everything we'd hoped for.

Eleonore, Australia

the welcome by the host was warm and the cabin was lovely. It had everything we needed including complete peace and quiet/

Ben, Australia

Proximity to nature and activities was superb, in addition to the spacious and comfortable accommodation. We loved being able to see so many stars through the big windows.

Jassem, United Arab Emirates

Rooms were finished to a high standard and bathroom was quite luxurious. Small touches like satchets of muesli, shortbread biscuits and even noodles if you needed them. Verandah was the perfect viewing deck for the multitude of birds and butterflies (even saw rabbits). Very quite location.

Jessica, Australia

This is just a beautiful place to stay. The location and the cottages are just amazing. It is a real pity that we had only one night to spend at the place. We arrived pretty late, but I contacted our hosts in advance and they were super helpful with both the check-in, tips for food for the night.

Basak, Germany

Roz & Mark O’Loughlin are such great hosts. They prepared everything for us and explained each details about the place we lived. The cottage is so warm and cozy. We will definitely come back if we can.

Mark & Roz

We built the Boomerangs in 1997. We wanted to offer something unique to visitors. The idea of the Boomerang shape came from our builder who suggested we use a curved shape to take in the panoramic views. Our cottages are surrounded by 3 acres of landscaped gardens which attract native birds. The high windows allow for 180 degree day and night views, the stars in this part of the world are beautiful.

We love living in the Otways. We are able to go bush walking in the beautiful countryside that surrounds us. We also like to Kayak along the Aire River and in the ocean on calmer days. Mark is a surfer who can cope with the wild waves at Johanna beach. Roz practices yoga to unwind. We both love taking Hanna for walks along Johanna Beach in all seasons.

We live right on the Great Ocean Road a popular drive for visitors to our region. Johanna Beach is our favourite beach in Australia. It is well known for surfing and fishing. It is always changing with the tides and seasons. Where we live is known as the Otways which is an area of temperate rainforest, there are beautiful waterfalls and rainforest walks on our doorstep. We are close to the 12 Apostles as well as Cape Otway Lightstation and the Otway Fly Treetop walk. Lavers Hill is the nearest town to us we love a coffee at The Shoppe and a good meal at the Lavers Hill Tavern.

Signage upon first arrival, reception sign is hidden away down to the right and no sign as you first enter. This was a bit confusing upon entry because the driveway forks out and if you go straight it is the wrong way! Go left toward reception!
The amazing layout of the rooms, cleanliness and overall comfort and inviting nature of the owners was lovely

Do yourself a favour and stay out of the main tourist areas in a tranquil setting surrounded by beautiful gardens and bird life . Only a short drive from a very quiet beach and nearby beech forests, waterfalls and great cafes, friendly pubs with great fresh local food. The owners of this property were helpful and friendly and have that extra touch (help yourself to cut flowers from the garden, yummy breakfast cereal with milk and plunger coffee, comfy beds)...

The tiny insects outside our cottage but that was due to the previous guests who left the light on all night! Switch your lights off people. Owners were great about this very accommodating and bent over backwards to make our stay as comfortable as possible!
Great location and very friendly owners. Thanks Roz&Mark for everything and Hanna!! Cottages were very comfortable and my 3 year old said this was the best holiday ever and we agree with him!!
