Detailed Reviews
We loved our stay at Ocean View and found Kevin and Sue to be wonderful, helpful hosts. Ocean View is in a perfect location - we rode our bikes everywhere but just down the bottom of the hill we could jump off the jetty into the turquoise waters of the lagoon. Ocean View has a boat shed and we took a kayak and paddled out to Blackburn Island, used snorkelling gear over at the amazing, pristine Ned's Beach, and went on many walks around the island. Kevin will help you book restaurants, but get in early and book ahead your meals out as well as all your trips, because we found out too late we were a little slow in booking ahead for things like trips out to Ball's Pyramid. All in all, Ocean View is great for a family holiday, you won't want to leave.

The owners and staff are friendly and accessible. The rooms are clean and comfortable - we stayed in the family room with our 3 kids and it was a really good set up - easy to relax and enjoy the beautiful Lord Howe Island. The location on the island is excellent with easy walking/riding access to town and lots of walks and beaches. The pool is lovely and the green space and BBQs near the rooms is also wonderful for relaxing. The owners really go out of their way to make you feel at home and like nothing is too much bother - their friendliness and helpfulness is a big part of the appeal. Highly recommend.

We stayed for a week at Ocean View Apartments in early March 2020 (before COVID-19). We have stayed here many times before and it is like coming to the island and staying with family (and not just because we have been before). The Wilson family own and run the place and have been there for generations. You could not have friendlier hosts. They are always very attentive to your needs and helpful with anything that you need done.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Kerry & Keith for making our trip so memorable. From the initial pickup from the airport they went above and beyond throughout our stay to make it was as memorable as could be.
With a huge backlog of tourists unable to leave and with Sydney experiencing floods; Kerry made sure we were inconvenienced as minimal as possible including contacting Qantas on our behalf to ensure we were allocated on the next available flight home and even reaching out to other locals on the island to source baby formula for our 10 month old.
The accommodation had a great family vibe with the majority of rooms opening up onto a communal grass area with BBQ’s. Oceanview also has a lot added extra’s that you cant find anywhere else including their own beach shack, a pool and games room containing table tennis and pool table. I was also told that they will have their own restaurant and bar on site in the next few months which will be another home run.
Couldn’t recommend this place anymore highly!

We stayed in a studio apartment at Ocean View for a week. Very comfortable room, good facilities for simple self catering, readily accessible barbecues near the room, and a pleasant swimming pool. We liked the location, which is an easy walk from the main street and the jetty, with pleasant setting in shady gardens.
Also impressed by the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and management.
Happy to recommend to others, and would certainly be high on our list for accommodation if we manage a return visit to LHI.
We went as a couple, but would see Ocean View as being equally good for families to stay.

Basic level of accommodation. Rooms are clean and tidy but the walls are paper thin. Snoring from next door kept us awake at night!
Within easy walking distance of the main part of town.
Customer service provided by Kellie can’t be faulted. She went out of her way to assist with dinner bookings etc.
PS. Don’t be fooled by the name …. there are no ocean views!

Great place to stay, just remember to take your shampoo & conditioner as you don't get this in your room! Walk up through the back paddock, awesome view a must do. Supermarket is expensive & check the best before dates! Not all restaurants & cafes are open everyday, so booking dinner is a must. It was a great place to visit, highly recommend 👍

We made a last minute booking and stayed 6 nights in a studio apartment at Oceanview. We had a great time here. It is really well located, the apartment is incredibly clean and the gardens/BBQ (cleaned and spotless every day!)/pool were the highlight. Most of the guests return again and again, and it is perfect for a family holiday. Kevin and the rest of the family are clearly proud of and take excellent care of the estate. Also loved talking about the history of Lord Howe Island and how settlement came about. Thanks for all the lifts and conversations.

The pool was a hit with kids as well as the games room.The bbq are cleaned eveyday and very handy for dinner time. Can't wait to go back.

We went through Oxley travel to book Oceanview who were very helpful.
You can walk to the main street from ocean view to a few eateries. Kevin offers transport in the mini bus if you need it to go further afield like the golf course and bowling club.
Hi. I stayed there as a tourist. I have no connection with your issue which should be directed to the owners.
