Set in a beautiful bush setting, the property has all of the comforts needed for a fuss free holiday. We appreciated the pantry items and access to produce in the orchard. Great walks around the property and lots of space, both inside and out, to spread out and relax. Well suited to families, with the towns of Anglesea and Torquay a short drive away. We had a very enjoyable stay.

We had a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful stay in Bellbrae! We would high recommend this wonderful home! A 15 min drive to many terrific beaches. The house layout is very family friendly with privacy and several living areas, and the bush land behind the house is magic. Kitchen brilliantly equipped. A terrific holiday! 5 stars.

We have just returned from our wonderful holiday at Jan's place. It is truly a special place. We all arrived desperately hoping for a relaxing break away and we were treated to just that. We felt like we were away in the bush but had the luxury of also enjoying Jan's lovely house with all the Home comforts. When the weather allowed we also lite the camp fire at night which we all loved. Jan was also amazing with communicating with us when needed. I couldn't recommend this place more... It's fantastic!! Thanks so much Jan!

After the year that 2020 was, spending 2 weeks at Jan's bush retreat was just what we (4 adults, 4 kids) needed. The outlay of the house was perfect, as the location - 10 mins from Torquay, Anglesea and Pt Addis. We enjoyed nights around both the campfire and internal fireplace watching movies from Jan's DVD collection. The 2 living spaces were great - kids at one, parents at the other with a door in between ;)
The kids loved the abundance of space to explore, ride their bikes and play cricket while also enjoying the games and puzzles inside. The phrase 'get off technology' was a distant memory ;) We visited the chocolate factory, did day trips to the different beaches & towns and enjoyed horse riding at the nearby Spring Creek Trails.
The WIFI was super reliable for when we needed to connect with family and friends over Christmas & NYs and stay in touch with the world.
An amazing place to stay that we will definitely head back to soon! 5/5. Thanks, Jan!

We stayed here with another family and it was absolutely amazing, this was the second time and again the property was well maintained with everything you’ll need and only a short drive to the beach
Thanks again jan, we’ll be in contact again this year for another stay.

This property was a perfect place for our long weekend away. It housed our two families (4 adults, 4 kids 7-12yo) comfortably without any feeling of being 'on top of each other'. It was well maintained with a lovely big kitchen and a variety of living spaces. We felt like we were in our own private bush retreat with plenty of room for the kids to roam while we were able to relax on the back deck. The kids (and adults) thoroughly enjoyed going yabbying in the dam and enough were caught to introduce them to the 'sport' of yabby racing. The outdoor firepit was an added bonus and it was lovely to sit around it at night and see the stars. This property made it feel like we had the advantages of camping but with the comforts of home, plus it was an easy drive to the beautiful Addis beach.
Jan was a wonderful host who gave us all the information we needed about the property which made it super easy to find and to settle straight in.
Our only negative was that we wished we could have stayed longer, we will definitely be back!!

Hello Jan
Just a short note to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at your Bellbrae property last weekend. The house and property were perfect, the weather OK and the wedding that we went for, an absolute Ripper.
8.0 / 10.0
This house was very comfortable and extremely well equipped and really felt like you were staying with friends rather than a guest house. The kitchen had everything you need, there were games, DVDs and music. The decor was earthy and comfortable and overall it was an excellent place to stay. The location is extremely close to Bells Beach so would be a great place to stay for the Rip Curl pro. Pt Addis is a fantastic beach and wonderful for children as it's protected and has some gentle but surfable waves. Think it sleeps 6 adults really comfortably, would only push it to 8 if some of those 8 were kids.

The house is a good size and is in immaculate condition. It feels deep in the bush and has a feel of being very private and very peaceful... It's very quiet although it's excellent location means it's only a short drive along a gravel road to The Great Ocean Road between Anglesea and Torquay. The house is well equipped and really feels like a home from home. Our kids loved playing in the tree house and around the substantial grounds. The owner was very helpful and genuine and we would not hesitate to recommend this place.
5.0 / 10.0
The Bush and Beach Retreat exceeded our expectations. This place is so spacious, with a magnificent interior. The surrounds made for a very relaxing time - we felt very secluded. We enjoyed yabbying and even had a campfire in the evening. There was an impressive selection of DVDs to choose from, and the kitchen was very well equipped! The only complaint we would have is that the holiday was just not long enough!
