Gardens and birdlife

The park was absolutely beautiful. It was in a fantastic setting and the facilities and cabin amenities were modern, clean, well looked after and you can tell that the owners and/or the persons who care for the facility take pride in their work and strive to maintain the park to a consistent standard. We stayed at the end of May, it was very cold coming into winter, our split system in the cabin kept us adequately warm. The shower had plenty of hot water and the kitchenette facilities were more than enough for our needs. I would also like to compliment the staff - whilst we didn't personally see/interact with any staff during our stay as we were a late check in and a Sunday check out, when I called the day of my arrival to discuss the potential of having to bring my dogs at last minute due to my dogsitter being unavailable at short notice and as one of my dogs was recovering from surgery I was left with no alternative but to bring her. The staff who took my call ensured that this was of no fuss and were more apologetic that the 2-bedroom cabin I had didn't have a yard unlike the single bedroom cabins (I wouldn't have expected a yard anyway!). The staff advised there was a secure fenced off dog run though to let the dogs out as needed and my request was easily accommodated in a matter of minutes by just needing to add on a small additional cleaning fee. The cleaning charge ($25) for having a pet, in my case 2 x large greyhounds was more than reasonable and meant it was actually cheaper to bring my dogs than to have had them looked after by a pet sitter for 2 nights! My kids were thrilled to have their pets come on a family adventure and it gave me peace of mind.

Even before we arrived Tony was a fantastic host with great communication and handy tips for us for sightseeing and the local town. The place itself is rustic, comfy, and in a fantastic location in terms of the the town itself (General Store and Pub only a very short 2 min walk), and also centrally in terms of sightseeing around the area. Really homely feel to the place with lots of cushions and rugs to get comfy and lots of beautiful touches. Lovely large shower, lots of books and games for the family, and plenty of spots to sit and have a cuppa and enjoy the surrounds.

Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Art on walls and decorative touches. Host thoughtfully had warmed the accommodation before we good there. Wifi was good connectivity. Make sure you see the Californian Redwoods within 30 mins of property--a magical experience

Closest location to the Lake Elizabeth and the platypus tour

Beautiful spot, trees everywhere, birds and a few koalas. Clean rooms and facilities

We loved our time here. Such a great space for two families and our dog. Comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed. Will definitely be returning here.

Lovely room. Free upgrade as the hotel was quiet. Super convenient for the beach

We had a wonderful experience at Lisa’s place! Its not just about the absolutely stunning views from the premises, but also the thoughtfulness of the hosts preparing the place for a great stay, you basically have everything you need for a wonderful time for activities in door, in Lorne or on the great ocean road.
