“A haven for relaxation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

After arriving in Wongarra after a week long stay in an average Melbourne hotel I was overwhelmed by how beautiful this place is. My children were made very welcome and the goodies bag which was left for us had even considered their needs. The beds are heavenly comfortable, the location second to none. Absolute peace and quiet, we didn't even know anyone else was there. Thanks Joan for being so great to my children showing them the beautiful Bob, Murphy and Bella. Your cottage will have a special place in our holiday to Victoria and we will most certainly be back. A thankyou also to Bryan the whole booking process was super easy. Henri and Amanda, Perth

“Lovely hideaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

person found this review helpful

A lovely private and relaxing hideaway cottage with superb views of the Great Ocean Road and the sea. I hesitate in writing a review as I want to keep this place all to myself!

The cottage is well equipped and has an excellent BBQ. The eucalyptus forest on the property also houses many wild koalas - it's great fun koala spotting. Just pick up some food from Lorne on the way through and hideaway to your hearts content. The general store at Wye also has excellent coffee and food. Treat!

“A real gem of a place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We have been travelling for 4 months and the 2 nights we spent here were 2 of the best we've spent anywhere on this trip. It is a real retreat with incredible views and beautifully equipped and furnished. There are so many extra touches that make this place so special. The large window seat is magnificent and you can sit and watch the ocean for hours and never tire of it. The lovely crisp white bed linen (cotton sheets and feather duvet) were a real luxury and the bed was enormous and so comfortable. A fabulous goody bag was provided too. I cannot praise Points South highly enough. It is a fabulous retreat.

“just you and the sea”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

Wonderful cottage set in an elevated, private position over the Great Ocean Road and its own lovely beach with rock pools. We stayed on a rainy long weekend, but the open fire and games kept us cosy and occupied. Points South has an incomparable view of the ocean - perfect whatever the weather, whatever the time of day or night. Little Blue Wrens love the place. Excellent facilities, well equipped kitchen, super clean, Bryan was friendly and helpful. I'd like to go back next time without the kids, maybe during whale season!

“If the Great Ocean road is the oyster then Points South is the pearl!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

person found this review helpful

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....
