“If the Great Ocean road is the oyster then Points South is the pearl!!!”

Arriving to a gorgeous goody bag and a sensational view,we thought that our stay could not improve by much...by it did...our bedding was the closest thing to sleeping on clouds and the window seat was perfect for napping in the sun....
Hospitality is clearly what Bryan loves and it shows...nothing was too much trouble and he took on board our comments ...we all can't wait to head back to create more lasting laughs and memories!!!

Room Tip: They are both fantastic cottages....

Arrived feeling pretty stressed....What a wonderful way to chill out....Magnificent view, open fire, bed to die for..made for a lovely short break.
Even when we had an issue with our fridge not working properly, a cheerful Bryan went out of his way to rectify the problem...nothing was too much trouble.
Would definitely recommend this as a perfect venue to chill out.
Will be back

“great view on the ocean from your bedroom”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 March 2011

We stayed for 2 nights in this place, with purpose to visit the great ocean road (which to our disappointment is in fact most of the time 'not that close to the Ocean'..), luckily this place made all good, even the rain.. Indeed the cottage has a fantastic view on the ocean out of your bedroom, the window sitting corner is very cozy, you get a free hamper with some sweets and breakfast stuff, there is an open fire, BBQ on the terrace and yes we found some koala's on our way up to the shed (where the laundry is situated).
This place is indeed really romantic and quiet, downside to mention is that we didn't see the owners (just had a few - appreciated - calls to check out if everything was ok) ; the only one-person spa bath and not providing any bathrobes.. (both last points would have made it complete).

“I've never been so glad to have parted with $275 in my life!”

Wow! That's the reaction I got when I first arrived at this place. Truly, after reading the first two reviews here, I went to try it for myself and boy was I absolutely blown away by this place. If you're looking at the price and thinking is it worth it, I can tell you now that this was the best "value" place I stayed along the entire Great Ocean Drive.

You wake up to ocean views right in front of your eyes, the place has a fireplace with free wood etc. that makes it so quaint, the host provided an amazing, excellent and comprehensive goody bag, the place is tucked away to achieve maximum privacy and peace will still being so convenient and accessible, the master bed is gorgeous, the pull down bed in the living room is brilliant, the corner with cushions is marvellous! Wow!

This is what I'll call a hidden gem and I'm giving this place full marks. It's probably the best place I've stayed in all my trips to WA, Queensland, Tassie, NSW and Victoria. Will definately be back!

“Winter Wonderland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

Our second visit to Points South was just as good if not better than the first... We enjoy the quiet solitude of the location... the starry skies at night and the sound of the ocean breaking near by...

The amenities are very good... a Webber BBQ on the sheltered balcony... and there is good coffee and breakfast or lunch to have at Wye River and there are also some very good restaurants at Apollo Bay

a loveley window seat to watch the world go slowly by or curl up with a nice glass of wine and a good book or sit in front of the fire...

We even had whales of the beach on the morning of our last day... what a wonderful good bye... There are even Koalas on the driveway leading up to mainhouse..
