Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Colac Otway Shire

Such a beautiful location combined with a wonderful home to enjoy it. We'll be back again. Thank you

Helana has a beautiful house with lots of character. It was a very cold weekend and the gas heater was so handy and kept us nice and warm. The house had everything we needed to have a comfortable weekend. Helana was also very responsive to any questions we had.

Had a great stay here. Clean, quiet, and perfect for just kicking back and relaxing. Would definitely stay again.

Staying at Charleys Creek Retreat, Gellibrand, was a pleasure. The location was perfect for a private and quiet getaway. The home was clean and full of character. Damien was very friendly, he left us easy-to-follow instructions, and we came to warm, burning woodfires. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the big flat BBQ was convenient. The bedrooms had clean linen and were nicely decorated. We loved every minute of our stay, the sunrise light between the forest trees, watching the stars at night, and the two curious Emus.

Incredible house with spectacular view. Very comfortable with all amenities provided. Highly recommend.

Third stay at this spot, as always clear instructions, well cleaned and maintained property!

We had a lovely stay at this Airbnb! The view of the ocean was absolutely stunning—definitely one of the highlights. The deck was beautiful and a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the scenery. Overall, the place was clean and cozy. One small thing to note: there weren’t a lot of dishes available, and a few had some stains. But aside from that, we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back!

An absolute oasis in the heart of Apollo Bay. I travelled up for the Great Ocean Road Running Festival and his home was perfectly located within walking distance of main town and event village. The home itself had everything you needed and more and the views just stunning. Thank you for a wonderful stay xx

A great choice for families with teenagers - there were enough beds for my kids to each bring a friend and they all made good use of the pool and games room. Their only complaint was about the rather steep walk back to the cottage, which may challenge some. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and beautiful forest views, and the kitchen well-appointed - if there was any utensil I couldn't find or if a condiment ran out Nicole arranged for it to be delivered immediately. We enjoyed walks around the property, mountain biking, beach days and golf in Lorne and visited Sheoak Falls. A relaxing and fun long weekend.

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing two-night stay at Glen View as a stopover during our Melbourne to Adelaide journey on the Great Ocean Road. Johanna is a truly beautiful section of the GOR where rolling green hills and farmlands meet the ocean. The cottage is delightfully laid out and well provisioned, with quality bedding and toiletries, a lovely fire-place and a shed full of wood (and reverse cycle a/c for the summer months and the impatient!) A visit to the chicken shed to collect farm fresh eggs and the orchard for some lemons was a nice treat for us suburbanites! The kitchen is fully functional with pretty much all equipment you could need, including a coffee machine. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!!!

We had a great long weekend away at Chris’ property. The house had plenty of space for us all with amazing views despite the wet weather of the weekend. We were kept warm and dry with the wood fire and heaters in all bedrooms. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Had really nice stay at Johanna Seaside Cottages 'Farm House', was the perfect country escape we were looking for and the kids loved collecting fresh laid eggs in the morning and having access to an indoor heated pool. Only minor complaint was not being able to connect to the internet Friday evening and not being able contact our host after 5pm. That said, the property caretake (Ben) was super helpful when he checked in the next day. Would definitely recommend if looking for a country escape along the coast.

We had a wonderful time staying at Seaview Apollo Bay. The house had everything you needed and more. Hiring linen was an easy. Although GOR holiday letting sent through lots of information, was very hard to contact when needed to ask things. Would have been better if run by a local team. We would definitely book again.

We have enjoyed a very peaceful week in Joanna Cottage. Despite a couple of stormy nights, we felt cozy and warm inside in front of the log fire. Such a stunning view! I loved visiting the hens for a couple of fresh eggs, and there was everything we needed inside the cottage to make for a comfortable stay. Our hosts were always available to help us with any questions. A wonderful place to stay.

We had a lovely stay celebrating our wedding anniversary. Pool was lovely and we loved the gym and the sauna ($35 per session) set in nature watching the birds in the trees was a fantastic way to start the day. Wild life in the area was amazing, wallabies, echidna, kookaburra to name a few. The cottage was great, a second air con would be helpful as the first days were very hot and the one aircon was located in just one bedroom. Linen is fresh, decor lovely and the beds were nice and large (I do prefer a softer mattress but that is just personal preference). The second toilet was great for a family. Gentle Annie on Friday night is great and was a great way to celebrate. I liked the touches such as shampoo, conditioner, soaps, air freshener were beautiful. Lovely T2, bottle of bubbles and delicious jam were a pleasant surprise. We had a great stay and will be back! Thank you

Wow! This place is amazing. We were a family group of 10. Two families of four and two grandparents. As a group we ranged from highly active to reduced mobility (walker) and it was an ideal environment for us all to explore and reconnect, over and over. There was something for everyone. The swimming pool was brilliant and it was a real treat to be swimming and looking at sheep and horses grazing in the paddock, with rolling hills and bush beyond. The kitchen was great and the dining table fit us all, so we enjoyed dinner around the table together each night after bushwalking the various tracks. We thought three nights would be enough to do everything as the property looked to be reasonably remote, but we were wrong. There is so much to explore in the local towns and within the property. We loved it so much that we are already booking again for next year! Highly recommend if you want space to relax, bushwalk, and reconnect with loved ones. I could say more but I've run out of words!

A beautiful house with lovely outlook right in the middle of Forrest village. Exactly as described and the fireplace made the place so warm we were in t-shirts. Would have to have the most comfortable mattress and best shower of anywhere else we have stayed. Loved our weekend in Forrest.

The Spring House is a real find! Breathtaking views of the ocean from a cozy, open space surrounded by green hills. The fire place was a winner too! We loved waking up to a view of the sunrise over the water. Gorgeous.

Wilhe’s place was perfect for a long cosy weekend away on a rainy weekend. Only a short drive into Apollo Bay but felt so peaceful in the mountains amongst the trees. We loved the wood fire, the comfy bed and just felt that the space had everything we needed - including umbrellas. Highly recommend!

A very last minute booking (midnight the night before!) but exactly what we needed to give our brains a break. The house and surrounds are beautiful and our hosts were very responsive (confirmed by 7:30am the morning after we booked) and so helpful with requests for information about local dog walks and activities. Thank you. We will be back.

This gorgeous little tiny house was perfect for a short getaway with scenic, quiet surroundings and lots of adventures nearby. We especially appreciated how clean and functional everything was. Every little element has been perfectly thought out!

Beautiful accomodation on a stunning quiet property. It’s just what we needed - a little getaway to relax by a fireplace. Jade was lovely, we’ll definitely be back!

I couldn’t speak highly enough of Fiona’s amazing farm stay! Such a beautiful cottage in an amazing location. So peaceful and relaxing, my fiancé and I wish we could live here! Everything about the stay is as advertised and so much more. Fiona is a great host and did an amazing job organising a beautiful bouquet of native flowers and a bottle of champagne on arrival for my fiancé. My dog had so much fun on the property. Felt right at home all weekend. Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Thank you Fiona

Great host's, beautiful clean property, comfortable beds and amazing view! Would stay again without hesitation
