Broadbeach Retreat, sleeps up to 12 people
Our stay at Doris's place was absolutely fantastic! The apartment was not only spotless and stylish, mirroring the photos perfectly, but it was also incredibly welcoming. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the milk,sugar and well-stocked kitchen, which made us feel right at home. The location was ideal as well. Doris was a brilliant host, always quick to respond to our questions and providing helpful information about the area. The check-in process was seamless, and we loved the convenience of the private entrance. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and centrally located place to stay in Jan Juc , very close to Torquay. We can't wait to return!

Stylish and comfortable villa, three bedrooms
Beautiful location within walking distance to everything we needed. Perfect for little children with lots of energy. The pool and the tennis court were a hit as well as the beach, lighthouse, rock pools, playground and inlet within walking distance. We arrived to an incredibly generous Easter gift basket as well, above and beyond what I’ve ever seen at any Airbnb I’ve stayed at. Beautifully maintained garden and grounds in the complex. We’ll be back again.

Coastal Oasis Aireys Pool House
We have just returned from 3 nights staying here and cannot speak high enough about the place. It was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. The kids had an absolute blast with all the toys, the cubby house and the show stopping pool. The pool is huge and perfect for kids with a deep and shallow end, also loads of pool toys! A really great space for some quality time with family with fantastic communal areas in the heart of the stunning little village. We took the short 15 minute walk to Mr T and me for breakfast which again was gorgeous. We will definitely be returning with family in the future, thank you!

Cosy At Front Beach Torquay
Another amazing stay at Marnie’s lovely beach home. Marnie is an excellent host, the check-in process is a breeze and communication is timely and effective. Location is so handy and my family and I always feel at home there. Will be back!

Farm House
Had really nice stay at Johanna Seaside Cottages 'Farm House', was the perfect country escape we were looking for and the kids loved collecting fresh laid eggs in the morning and having access to an indoor heated pool. Only minor complaint was not being able to connect to the internet Friday evening and not being able contact our host after 5pm. That said, the property caretake (Ben) was super helpful when he checked in the next day. Would definitely recommend if looking for a country escape along the coast.

100 steps to the beach -Beach House
A great beach getaway in the perfect secluded location. Close to Anglesea but not too close to deal with the busy crowds. Amazing beach location and house has every amenity you could need and wish for. The spa and log fireplace was a special!

Torquay Multi Family Getaway
The house was amazing. very clean, comfortable, and exactly like the photos. The host Matt was super friendly and always available if we had any questions. The location was great too and the best the swimming pool with hot water. I’d definitely stay here again!

Bella Vista Retreat With Pool, 950m to Beach
Beautiful home & great location. Perfect for our family getaway

Hillside Torquay - Sleeps 17 - Strictly Family
Our family were very happy with venue. Our 9 grandchildren had plenty of space to play in and they had plenty of activities there to occupy them. We adults had our own space for meals and catching up. The coffee machine was a great hit too. We highly recommend this house for families.

Hylander - Five Bedroom home, sleeps 14.
Really terrific house, great for a large group. Very comfortable, excellent little additions like board games and Finska as well as a well stocked pantry. Super clean. Nice private garden

Mother's Day Weekend Special May 9 - 11
Excellent place to stay. Easy walk into town. The house looked even better in person. Glenys was easy to communicate with and very accomodating. There was even a beautiful welcome gift and Easter eggs for the kids. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

2 bedroom home in prime location WALK everywhere!
The location of the home is the real strength of this place. Situated close to the beach and local restaurants. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Having a garage to park our car and bike, trike etc was a bonus, and provided us with peace of mind. Would recommend Hannah's place to others wanting to stay in the area!

Soak yourself in country charm & nourish the soul
Brilliant stay at Barbie May’s and will definitely be back there again one day. Suzie was extremely responsive and helpful with any requests, and even laid out Easter eggs for all the kids. The house was perfect for 2 families and it looked exactly like the photos. Great location to walk to the pub, shops and a great park for the kids. Thanks for a fantastic long weekend!

The Gem by the Beach! 300m to beach, shops & park
Elly’s place is a real gem and perfect for a weekend beach getaway, location was perfect for the beach and local cafe. It was well cared for and very well stocked, so we settled in right away. Altogether it made our weekend very easy. Thanks Elly!

33 on Wye
Very cosy house overlooking the forest and ocean, upstairs view is nice and pleasant. Perfect location with 5 mins walk to the beach/rockpool and the general store. There are kookaburras, Rosellas and cockatoos visiting the balcony regularly, though I don't recommend feeding them or eating outside, especially with little kids.

Beach Haven - Beautiful Great Ocean Road Getaway!
I would like to thank Libby for sharing her beautiful property for us to stay. We all had a great time. Libby was friendly, helpful and very accommodating. I highly recommend it.

Sunnyside
Lovely house a quick walk away from Sunnymeade beach. Human and canine family members enjoyed our weekend here. Nice comfy beds, healthy indoor plants, great kitchen, hammock chairs on the verandah - great beach house!

Beach house with bush views
We had a really lovely stay. The house was bigger than the photos indicated. The kitchen was well equipped and having a washing machine and dryer was very handy. The children were able to hand feed parrots on the veranda and it was a short walk to see kangaroos on the golf course. There was a pleasant bush walk to the beach. The range of shops was good and the local IGA had everything we needed. The whole stay was perfect. Thanks Greg.

4-B/rm sun-filled beach house, two blocks 2 beach
We had such an incredible stay at Ian’s beautiful place!! Such an open, warm and inviting space, perfect for a family wanting to spend time beachside!! The house is so spacious and wonderful, we felt right at home. Bedrooms were very comfortable and all amenities are fantastic, including the outdoor shower! It’s within walking distance to the beach (very close) shops, cafes, restaurants, parkrun, everything! Just a perfect place, we will definitely be back to stay again xxxxxx would highly recommend xx

SeaScape, Large 5Br home near Beach & Shops
Great stay! The house is in a fantastic location, close to everything you need. Mandy was incredibly friendly, kind, and responsive, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Coastal Hide Away - Relax and Enjoy Tranquillity
The Coastal Hide Away exceeded our expectations. The pictures made the place look great; it was even better in reality. The property was clean, spacious and stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The spa was a real highlight and worth every penny - the perfect end to a day exploring the Ocean Road. As a host, Dariusz cannot be faulted. He was proactive with his communication and had thought of everything when it came to making checking in and out of the Hide Away seamless. We had a great time at the Hide Away, and won't hesitate to return should we head to Appollo Bay again in the future. Thanks!

little beach house
We absolutely loved our three-night stay at Paul’s place in Apollo Bay. The home is a beautifully designed, modern space with impressive architectural features throughout. We were continually struck by the attention to detail and the thoughtful layout, which made the space feel both luxurious and welcoming. The house is equipped with all the modern amenities you’d expect, along with a fantastic library that showcases the owner’s excellent taste—particularly in design and architecture. Just one street back from the beach, the location is perfect for long, scenic walks in either direction along Apollo Bay. There’s so much to do in the area—from bushwalking and breathtaking views at Marriner’s Lookout to surfing, boating, and more. One of the highlights of our trip was spotting koalas at the stunning Shelley Beach—a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax in style while exploring the natural beauty of the Great Ocean Road.

Anglesea Retro Beach House
We have now stayed here twice. Just love the comfort and convenience of the house. I am sure that we will be back in the future.

Hillside House
A great stay high above Apollo Bay yet a short drive to town. Loved the wood burner in the evening and the birdsong in the morning. Pet friendly too. We’ve been before and hope to return again. Thanks Jeff!
