Beautiful quiet view and wildlife showing up regularly right outside the window. Great location for exploring the hiking along the Great Ocean Road. Owners were very clear that it is a bit remote and necessary to bring food to prepare. A great getaway from urban areas.

Beautifully designed, very private cabin with an imperious view to the west across rainforest, coastal heath and the shipwreck coast. My 12 yo loved the outdoor bath. Alister and Caroline were full of good tips about tracks to forgotten beaches and rainforest drives. Perfect for day trips to 12 Apostles, etc. Highly recommended getaway for adventurous romantics.

Had a great stay, very quiet and even had some kangaroos visit in the evening! The place was very clean and was very reflective of the advertised photos. would definatly stay again!
By Moonlight was a beautiful home with all the modern amenities one could need. When we first arrived, we were greeted by Carolyn and Alistair, a loveliest and most accommodating couple! A friendly kangaroo also came to greet us upon arrival (but from a distance!) Although it is in a secluded area, we had a peaceful night, watching kangaroos and other wildlife from the window. As noted during our booking, there is not much around the area so we made sure we brought our own groceries. This was the perfect stop after a long day of exploring the Great Ocean Road.

Heaty and no AC bedrooms
Bad design house for summer stay. Too much sun/heat into the house while there is only one AC in the living room. All bedrooms become heaty at night, we couldn’t sleep the whole stay.

The property was a bit isolated but if you bring your own food it is a lovely quiet place to stay and the views are very picturesque.
This is a beautiful property built on a hill surrounded by farm. The units are each separate buildings. They are very spacious and appear brand new. It felt more like a high end house than a hotel. The kitchen was very well stocked. Make sure to bring your own food since there's no restaurants nearby.
The only downside we found was the AC unit is only in the living room not the bedrooms which made it challenging to control the temperature in the bedrooms. We happened to be there on a 40C day and the single AC unit couldn't come close to keeping the space cool.
This was our favorite stay in Australia. The couple that owns it were so nice and welcoming. They took their time and had such a nice chat with us. We had the most beautiful drive on the way to it, encountering a scurrying mob of Kangaroos. We went to sleep that night hearing cows moo and the wind blowing. We saw more stars than we’ve ever seen in our life. Then we woke up to a view of the 12 apostles and the coastline in the distance. When we walked out to the balcony- 2 bright red, green, and blue parrots were feeding on the bird feeder and birds were singing in the wood line. Absolutely stunning!
Superb place! They have everything we need in the house. Great view- green and ocean. Peaceful and quiet. And seen Kangaroos hopping around. Had a great time there with my family. My wife loves the place so much and she is already looking forward to going back there again.
Very beautiful houses situated at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean and 12 apostles in the horizon. Beds were very comfortable and the toilet has a deep soaking bathtub. Comes equipped with a fully functional kitchen. You can pack food at the nearest town and do BBQ within the comping. In the morning, you can also watch kangaroos hopping around (you don’t need much luck to see them as they are quite plentiful :)
We couldn't have found a more relaxing and secluded spot. It feels like the whole valley to the sea is yours. Thank you for the generous hospitality. We will certainly be back!
I love by moonlight. So does my family. Little far from the town, but it has a amazing scenery and gorgeous sunset. You can see the 12 apostle on your sofa. You can take a rest in the spacious bath tub. You can have a little chat with lovely and kind manager and her husband. You will love this place.
We enjoyed our stay here. The unit was spacious and came with a lot of extras. It was very new and clean. Had a nice view and came with some wild life spotting.
