About this house rental
The Great Ocean Rd shack is situated in picturesque Peterborough which is right dab smack in the middle of some of the most spectacular scenery you will ever see. The shack sits on a river front property so you can look out over the water as you dine on your tea. The main beach is a 5min leisurely stroll along the riverbank and features stunning rock pools for swimming on hot days. Scenery all within 10mins drive include the gorgeous Bay Of Islands, The Grotto, London Bridge, The Arch and Port Campbell Jetty. A little further away but still close you can see the Twelve Apostles and Melba Gully (rainforest) where you can view glow worms on a damp night (a magical sight). Locally take in the breathtaking views along the scenic walk which includes the Bay of Martyrs, Hallidale Point, Worm Bay, the Rock Pools and a spectacular cliff top 9 hole golf course. Short driving distances to the townships of Port Campbell, Timboon and Warrnambool ensure plenty of shopping choices. The shack itself is fully self-contained, including all linen. It can sleep up to 6 people, has 2 bedrooms, bathroom, laundry, lounge, dining room, kitchen and fenced verandah. The bedding is set up as follows; there is a queen bed in the main room, a bunk with queen below and single on top in another room and a double couch bed. A perfect destination for families or couples who are looking for a simple, quiet getaway or looking to explore the great outdoors - secluded and unspoilt beaches, fishing, swimming, diving, snorkeling, surfing, walking, playgrounds, golf and tennis ensure a fantastic time is had by all.

I'm not sure it's possible to rave enough about the shack - it is perfectly situated, with easy access by foot or car to a wide range of activities. It reminded me strongly of childhood beach vacations where the mix of pragmatic features and nostalgic elements were ideal. Lovely large yard. The perfect place for daydreams and board games.

Enjoyable Escape
The booking process was a breeze. Getting access when we arrived was easy. The place was clean and tidy. The location is great if you enjoy a good view and want to serve breakfast to a mate fishing on the floating pontoon across the road. Ok the fish weren't participating but it was a great way to escape post lockdown. A short walk to town or the surf beach and there are local dining options. Nearly every time we thought of something we needed it was in a cupboard or drawer(we left 2 stubby coolers in a drawer for future guests). Beds were comfortable and the lack of TV reception wasn't a major problem because we had an Optus wifi dongle and took down a bunch of comedy dvd's - so much better than watching the news these days. We would definitely stay again.

Quiet getaway right on the water
We really enjoyed a week at the 'beach shack'. It was so quiet and we slept amazingly well. The shack had everything that we needed including a big fridge, stove, oven microwave and all of the cooking utensils you could want. Deb was a fantastic host and communicator. She responded very quickly to all messages. There is a little jetty that we put chairs onto so we could fish and watch all of the birdlife. We liked being so close to Port Cambell as well. We would certainly stay again.

Tranquil and Restful Location
We enjoyed our stay at Peterborough and Debbie was an excellent host who communicated well. The house was comfortable and in a very quiet location. It was lovely to look out across the inlet. The enclosed verandah at the rear of the house was roofed, large and enclosed, totally secure for our dogs, although the yard was not securely fenced. A very restful holiday.

Poor Cleanliness and Outdated
The house is in poor cleanliness. One of the room (and bed) has smell of vomit. Spider webs everywhere and we have killed not less than 20 spiders soon we checked in. I guess the house is cleaner at the time we checked out than before we checked in !
We booked for 7 people but the house has only 1 double bed, 1 bunk bed that sleeps 3 people plus two sofas (not sofa bed). The sofas are so short that they are so uncomfortable to sleep on.
The price does not come cheap too.

Tranquil place on the Great Ocean Road
The location is everything: that's what describes this place the best. Situated on the river bank, aside of everything else, staying in this property brings peace of mind and relaxation. We'd love to stay there for longer

Great location, nice home
We were quite happy with the place. It got a nice surrounding. Although the place does not have any fancy facilities, it was more than enough for someone who is looking for a relaxing quiet place.
Very close to the 12 apostles, so if that is on your bucket list, this is the place to say.

Great location
We stayed 2 night in this lovely little house. The location is amazing, in front of the beach, next to the 12 apostles and some great spots we had a great stay despite some little spiders and the sofa bed which was not the best bed ever you do forget all those little things thanks to the location and the peace and quiet of the location.

Very simple accomodation in good location. Dog friendly was great for us and our kids.
Peterborough is a great location. A bit quieter than many other coastal towns.
Accomodation was very dated, but we didn't mind as we got to bring our dog with us which was nice. Was only a short drive to see the sights the area has to offer and find beaches for the kids and dog to play at.
There was no tv which was just fine for our stay. But I can imagine it getting a bit tedious if you had bad weather and were stuck inside all day.
My family and I had a great time during our stay and would like to return during off peak times when it's a bit cheaper I suspect.

Excellent
Nice little shack in an awesome location, if your into fishing, bird watching, photography or star gazing this is the place for you and its just down the road from the Bay of Martyrs & Bay of Islands which I think are the best parts of the coastline. Its a bit rough around the edges but if you want a nice, clean basic place to stay then this is the place & there is heaps of space for kids to run around out the back. I would stay here again.
