Great location, beautiful surroundings, with nature taking centre stage, inside and out. Would love a slightly better bed and couch, but everything else was superb.

David Australia

Lovely countryside location, shame we could only stay the one night. Well equipped kitchen. Bathroom very clean with a nice shower. Nice to have the option of enclosed fire or air conditioning/heat pump for heating.

Kim New Zealand

We loved the location , the friendliness of the owners and we loved how close it was to the 12 Apostles.

Vascilla Australia

The property was great. Quiet, relaxing and also very unique. Wonderful views. The huge front yard was spectacular for our two dogs to run around. Bedrooms were small, though wasn’t an issue for us. Kitchen was sufficient, host communication good. Very pleasant stay.

Paul Australia

Very well located. Pleasant outlook. Lovely sunny deck. Very quiet. Loved the wood fire. There was plenty of kindling and wood supplied. Fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of warm bedding.

Elaine Australia

The boomerang cottages have everything you need and are so comfortable- while also being unique and special.

Nicola Australia

Very good location, secluded total privacy, ver spacious

Krishna Australia

We chose Boomerangs for the proximity to the Great Ocean Walk and being able to have 4 couples stay near each other. The accommodation is quite quirky but very comfortable and you get fabulous views of the valley from the living area. Roz & Mark are very welcoming as are their dogs, Hanna & Blue, who are gorgeous! We all wanted to take Blue home with us!

Kristina Australia

Beautiful cabin in the perfect spot. You would have no idea you had neighbours. Everything was perfect

Arran Australia

Wonderful break out of isolation and the cabin was warm and homely. Wonderful view of the hills and a bit of the sea. We didn't want to leave.

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.
