Seaside Cottages are wonderful. The setting of the farm is outstandingly beautiful. The cottage is excellently equipped with a modern kitchen with all the cooking equipment you could desire and high quality appliances, the bathroom is modern, the beds are good quality, and we have all the luxuries we could want, including a dishwasher, slow combustion fire, reverse cycle air-conditioning...

This is the second time I've stayed. The rivernook has to be one of their best cabins. What amazing views. Joy, the owner, is so kind and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoy these cabins and the location. Highly recommend.

This review contradicts the 5 star rating given by every other reviewer, but at $400 a night peak season one really should expect the very best. The cottage we stayed in was about 1 km from the beach and main farm house. To get there one drives up a winding dirt road. Yes, the cottage was secluded, on a hill... More

I was fortunate enough to be given 5 nights at Johanna Seaside Cottages as a present from my parents. It turned out that the only available cottage was the big "farmhouse"... and we loved it!! We had no ocean views at all but we still had the most fantastic stay - just loved picking vegies in the vegie patch and... More

From the moment I saw the view from the lounge room and bedroom windows, I felt that "Rivernook" at Johanna Seaside Cottages was a very special place. In one direction I saw the ocean and rugged cliffs and in the other direction rolling green hills dotted with dairy cattle. I felt privileged to share Joy Evan's spectacular property and stay...

Apollo bay and lavers hill are a short drive away, as is the otway fly in great otway national park. See koalas and wallabies, cows, sheep and horses while walking, biking or driving!

Really loved the five days we spent in the Johanna Cottage. The farm is well equipped with heated (30 degrees!) swimming pool, chooks (fresh eggs daily), veggie garden, top notch accommodation and a beachfront location that's second to none. For hikers, the choice of walks is great with on farm bush and rainforest options aswell as the beach/great ocean walk.... More

Spectacular location right across the dunes from Johanna Beach, awesome view across the dairy farm as well. Joy is the ultimate hostess, nothing is too much trouble and her knowledge of the local area is second to none. Johanna Beach is right near the halfway mark for the Great Ocean Road, so makes the perfect base for day trips to... More
