Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Its an Aussie Bush holiday without the mozzies !! and only 4km from Bells Beach —famous for Surfing. Roomy units with all mod cons including reliable fast WiFi Spotlessly clean on arrival —just bring your clothes and tucker to self cater or eat out at Torquay or Anglesea Sparkling clean indoor heated pool & hot spa Billiards, ping pong etc in the games room and a myriad of outdoor activities make this an ideal family vacation resort. Also suitable for singles as there are both brekkie & evening dining activities to meet other guests & a bar. Plus of course the animal feeding daily Most importantly though— very pleasant & helpful managers & staff. Any hiccups they fix it today not “whenever”

Bell Brae is in a rural location not far from Torquay with easy access to the Great Ocean Road and other tourist attractions. All staff are friendly, informative and helpful. The units are very comfortable with all utilities. Both bathrooms have their own bathroom and toilet. The dog friendly unit is excellent with a fully fenced grassed area at the the rear, dog door and bowls provided. The rescued animals are very friendly and children enjoy feeding them.

Thank you for your lovely review! With so much to see and do not only at Bellbrae but also along the Great Ocean Road we think we are pretty lucky! We look forward to you visiting with us again - but something to keep in mind we have 5 different accommodation sizes so amenities within the units will vary slightly :)

Great escape, situated in brilliant location & surrounds and away from the throngs of other nearby tourist spots, but close enough to tour around.
Great access to beach roads and the Great Ocean road and plenty of local produce to taste and experience (food & drinks).
Only small complaint is that the games rooms need updating and some outdoor equipment also needs attention. Having pointed this out, there are plenty other activities to do, which basically gets you out and about.....

This is our third stay at Bellbrae Country Club. Great location, right near Torquay and not too far drive from the other attractions on the Great Ocean Road. You do need a car if you stay here. It’s a beautiful place, quiet and plenty to do if you have a family. Indoor pool, sauna, spa, gym, games room, tennis, mini golf and they feed the animals which would be fun for the little kids. Stayed in a 2 bedroom unit in July. Spacious unit with excellent heating, electric blankets on the beds, fully self contained kitchen and laundry. Good wifi and even a smart tv on the wall. Hosts were friendly and there were organised activities, which we did not go to. We stayed there to relax and go for walks. Thanks for a wonderful stay. We will come back again for sure.

A great location, very close to the Great Ocean Road, the club is clean and very peaceful location. The facilities onsite are clean and to a high standard, the farm animals are friendly and have a wide diversity. Your only a 5-10 minute drive from Torquay and with plenty of great beaches around it is ideally located for those idyllic walks on the beach.

Great place to stay especially with children. We had a family catchup - it takes the stress out of hosting an event at home. Lots of activities both at the resort and in the local area Facilities are great, cleaned regularly and staff are always available for activity ideas or support. Maintenance issues were attended to in good time.

Love the firepits, pancake breakfast (glad they’ve retained the cheese & chives savoury pancakes!) & the animal feeding. To be honest we were very disappointed with the resort on this occasion after owning here & visiting many times. The resort seemed to lack staff and overall awareness of pool issues/ maintenance etc. The spa on 2 occasions was ice cold. Multitudes of pool noodles & toys are a great idea but left in the pool to navigate swimming around for laps is annoying. The pancake breakfast was great but lacked tables and seating with people sat on the floor under the TV area and couches. The new coffee/ bar station addition is awesome but the stylish look and functionality of this room has gone completely. Miss the couches in front of the fireplace where we would go in winter to cozy up with a book. Now the couches look terrible scrunched up under the Tv in the same room, fighting for space. All the games in the gaming room, bar one, need money to play. Lighting around the resort is minimal at night. Pet units have gone completely. Other guests also complaining about the lack of maintenance & tacky new additions (eg fairy lights on trees, new & unfinished little sculpture/ walking park that is a waste of money/ relevance, 15+ pool noodles & toys, etc.). Keep being told over 2-3yrs units are being refurbished yet we keep getting put in the older unrefurbished ones furtherest from pool. Won’t be back anytime soon.

We love our holiday at Belbrae Country Club. The swimming pool is warm and lovely. Our unit (unit 20) is spacious and clean with everything we need. We feel so pampered with the generous supply of tea, coffee, toiletries, big TV, big fluffy towels big bedrooms and living rooms. The beds were very comfy and the mattresses felt nice and firm. And best of all was the generosity of our hosts. Team Gavin, Esta and everyone there made us feel welcome and fed us generously everyday with breakfast and dinner so that we never had to cook during our entire stay. We had so much to eat that we never went hungry. The animals are very well looked after and looked cuddly and cute. On our last night, Gavin and ESTA held a BBQ ( byo meat which Gavin cooked for us over the fire pit). It was a wonderful way to meet other guests and exchange stories. So upon check in, make sure you log into the digital compendium and sign up for the meals options. We attended every meal on offer, big breakfast, pancake breakfast, spuds night, pizza night, BBQ with byo meat. All delicious and lovingly prepared by Team ESTA and Gavin. Thank you for the memories.

Hi there
Please contact us directly to find out the configuration of your 2 bedroom unit, there are a couple of different set ups.
Our contact number is 03 5261 5167
You should just go. The kids will love the animals and it is very peaceful there. I've only been in a 1 bedroom unit which was very outdated but clean. The pool room is the same, in great need of updating but the pool is very clean. No shallow part for you kids though and no kids pool. They do kids activities. You do need to drive to shops and beach.
There are more places to choose from in the Bellbrae area.
