About this house rental
Summary:
Cosy cottage nestled on the Port Campbell headland with spectacular bay views. Superbly positioned on a quiet street opposite national parks, giving it a secluded feel yet still being in the heart of the town. Offering a full kitchen, 2 queen beds & a bunk room it is perfect for families & groups, or couples who enjoy space. The large balcony overlooking the bay provides a great platform for star gazing, watching sunsets, listening to the crashing waves or just soaking up some fresh sea air.

PLEASE REST ASSURED WE OFFER REFUNDS IF COVID RESTRICTIONS AFFECT YOUR STAY.
The cottage has had a mini makeover with a new bathroom. House on the hill is a home away from home with a full kitchen equipped with all the pots, pans and utensils you need to cook up a feast and a BBQ on the deck to enjoy alfresco dining if the weather is nice. The huge deck overlooking the bay of Port Campbell is a highlight with stairs into the huge yard for easy access.
The cottage has heating in all bedrooms plus a split system in the main living space which also helps to cool the house in summer. The cottage has a homely feel with plenty of natural light, comfortable beds, and free wifi.
There are also lots of bird life and rabbits on the headland for spotting, and it is also the home of the endangered Southern brown bandicoot if you are lucky enough to find one.
Its location is unique because you are only meters from the southern ocean, so close you can hear all the sound of the ocean and watch the ever changing bay as the swells and weather changes.
Guest Access:
The house is a free standing home so you have the whole place to yourselves. Free wifi is included. Uninterrupted views of the bay of Port Campbell. Huge deck and yard to enjoy.
There is a washing machine and detergent plus a dryer provided to do laundry, and a clothes line on the deck for when the weather is good.
The Neighborhood:
Port Campbell is a small quaint coastal town, with everything within walking distance and a beautiful safe swimming beach. It is located only 10 minutes drive to the world famous 12 apostles and many other natural wonders on the great ocean road such as Gibson's steps, London bridge, Lochard gorge, the grotto & the arch (see guidebook for more info or check out the visitor information website).
With so many things to see close by Port Campbell is a great base to spend a few days exploring what the area has to offer.
Getting Around:
Plenty of free parking at the house for those on a self drive. Port campbell is quite isolated in terms of public transport but there is a V-Line service if you are up for a challenge.
There is also a free shuttle bus that departs from the 12 Apostles car park and takes you to princetown to allow you to do the last leg of the Great Ocean walk if you are keen to explore on foot. More info on this can be found at www.thegreatoceanwalk.com

We stayed in Port Campbell and House on the Hill was a perfect space for our family to stay and appreciate all that PC has to offer. Melissa was a wonderful host and the house had all we needed for a celebratory mini break.

It is such a beautiful property with the best view. We had drinks on the deck and watched the sunset. Very quiet but close to town. Great place to stay and we would stay there again. Very easy to communicate with the host, too.

As soon as I walked in the door it felt like home. I can't fault this place it just had a wonderful feel about it. Well-equipped and comfortable with little added touches to make you feel like the owner's care about you staying there. And what a brilliant view to match.

A hidden gem in Port Melbourne
House on the hill is in a great location with stunning views. It has everything you could possibly need including a kids cupboard with toys which my daughter loved. Mellissa was great too allowing us to check out a bit later after a rough night with the kids and torrential rain. Despite the weather we loved our stay here and would thoroughly recommend it.

Comfortable home with great view
This house sits at the edge of the town with a beautiful view over the port. A few minutes' walk from the centre of town but with a feeling of openness and connection to the undeveloped clifftop. The large balcony overlooks the sea and would be a wonderful opener living area in summer. In the middle of winter, the home was cosy and comfortable with everything we needed. The washing machine and dryer were very helpful for a longer stay. Thanks Mellissa!

Loved it!
We did a 3-day Great Ocean Road trip with 1-night stops in Lorne, Apollo Bay, and Port Campbell - part of our larger 21-day Australia vacation. This condo in Port Campbell was one of our favorites out of the 9 places we stayed. The details really make a difference - washing machine with detergent, plenty of soap and toilet paper, towels, etc.
Plus the condo itself is great - very spacious and with a great view of the water and a very convenient location walking distance to town. And on top of all that a very reasonable price!

House on the Hill One Night Stay
He had a very comfortable stay at House on the Hill. We arrived late after a long drive down the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to a warm, cosy house with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The house has a lovely view of the beach at Port Campbell and is walking distance to the town for shops, cafes and restaurants. There were only three of us, but the house would be ideal for one or two families looking for a spacious and affordable holiday house.
