About this house rental
Enjoy the privacy of a secluded cottage, set on one acre. Surrounded by farmland and the coastal scrub of Port Campbell National Park, the closest neighbours are a kilometre away in the little village of Princetown.
Explore the rugged coastline of the Shipwreck Coast and visit beaches off the beaten track.
The iconic 12 Apostles are a 2 minute drive from the house. See Gibson Steps and Loch Ard Gorge on your way to the sea side town of Port Campbell, just 10 minutes away. Port Campbell offers a safe swimming beach with lifeguards over the summer period, as well as cafes and a pub.
In the other direction, lies the village of Princetown and the mouth of the Gellibrand River where the locals swim.
A real get away
Southern Comfort is exactly that. Comfortable accommodation right near the Southern Ocean.
Situated on the famous Great Ocean Road, the cottage sits in an elevated position on the one acre block.
The Great Ocean Walk runs along the cliff up behind the property.
Parrots, eagles, swamp harriers and willy wagtails are often seen. Kangaroos and wallabies live up along the clifftop.
With no neighbours, feel free to be as noisy as you like. There's plenty of grassed area to play footy and cricket.
Enjoy stargazing on clear nights. With the closest lights over a kilometre away at Princetown, you'll be amazed at the darkness of the night sky and the clarity of the stars.
A Pet Friendly Property
Furry friends are welcome, however note that the property is not fenced, so it is only suitable for dogs who don't wander. Furbies are welcome inside the house. There is a fabulous dog minding service in Princetown, so if you are planning on going on some day trips or visiting the national parks, you can have your dog looked after while you're out and about. Details are in the notes provided.
The house offers a fully equipped kitchen, including a microwave and full sized fridge/freezer.
An open plan living/dining area features a wood fire with stone surround. (with a fire guard) There is also a split system for heating and air conditioning.
The cottage has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed. The second bedroom has a single trundle bed. There is a separate bathroom and toilet.

I had a wonderful long weekend at this property by myself. Great, simple and peaceful place in a wonderful location. 5 minutes from the main 12 Apostles viewing area but also so close to many other places along the Great Ocean Road. Would absolutely love to come back here sometime.

This was a wonderful stay. Liz made the process so smooth. The cottage was tranquil and in beautiful surrounds - a proper escape from it all with lots of wonderful things to visit and indulge in close by. The cottage had everything we needed and the beautiful grounds and surrounding bush were well appreciated by both us and our adventuring dog. Highly recommend

We took a long weekend away with our family and dog. The house is situated on a quiet hill, well positioned to bird and animal watch.
Literally 5 mins from 12 Apostles and 15 mins away from the nearest town.
Cracking little getaway, would highly recommend sending the kids to round up tinder and firewood and spend the evening toasting s'mores down at the campfire.

Had the loveliest time in Princetown. Liz was easy to communicate with.
Loved waking up to the sounds of the birds and looking through the windows to the beautiful view. Area is very quiet and private but easy access to the road. House was a little dusty, maybe because they don’t live in it often but otherwise amazing for the price listed.

Good bird life. Great location for all the sights. Quiet. Interior of property was quite spartan. No basic provisions so take your own. Outside environment was pleasant. Great for night sky viewing on a clear night.

Simple accommodation, but had everything we needed, except linen (as advertised, but a minor grumble considering the price). Located away from town & neighbours, but just 5 mins to the 12 Apostles & Gibsons Steps. We marked it as 4 for cleanliness as there was a fair bit of fluff and dust under the beds and headboards, which we cleaned up before we left.

The property is located just off the main road amongst established and beautiful trees. Lush green all around.
It’s a small unit offering everything you may need for a short or long stay.
Very clean and welcoming.
Fast and prompt communication from the owners with very clear instructions on how to get to the property.
Easy access and very close to the main attractions.
Definitely recommend it.
Thank you very much Liz.

We loved our stay here.
The location was absolutely perfect for our first visit to the great ocean road. It’s right where all the iconic landmarks are, and we came during the week so there weren’t too many people on the viewpoints.
We loved the fireplace, we loved the secluded feeling of the house. The view is just beautiful!
It is a simple house, and it was wonderful to stay there.
Liz was super responsive to our questions, and very kind in offering us to check in and out in our own time.
Thank you so much Liz!

Great location and house was very comfy . I can only recommend that a number or a sign be put out on road as we had to use google maps as you cannot see the house from road and a little tricky with access path to the house . However we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend staying here .

Thank you again for sharing this little gem of a property with us!

As a family of five (three boys under 3) space and proximity to main attractions was very important. This home provided just that. Three hosts were incredibly accommodating with a few last minute requests, only a short drive to the 12 apostles and many beautiful walks. Port Campbell was only 15 min away from our location.
It was a beautiful hideaway and we are so grateful for this home.
