for a short period, up to 8 adults occupied the house. It provided shelter and charm and left us all with happy memories.
5.0 / 5.0
the property is old, but maintained & really usable. Bedrooms are a good size, living area easily catered for 7 of us at one time. Not enough seating to eat at the table, but that was identified on the listing. We ate on our knee in the living area, which is right next to the kitchen/dining area. Lots of useable kitchen utensils (microwave, elec frypan, sandwich maker, pots & pans, even sharp knives) we cooked each night and were able to easily cater for everything we wanted to cook with what was supplied. The basement had all sorts of goodies - canoe, bikes, golf clubs... all to be used by the tenant. I'd stay here again, no question.

4.0 / 5.0
We recently returned form “Retide” and had a great time overall. The house is clean and has everything you need in the kitchen, the couch is comfy and the beds were great. It is wonderful to have clean linens and towels included in the price, and the garden and yard were great for the kids who made lots of friends with the kids from the caravan park adjacent.
We were disappointed by the second bathroom which made coming back from the beach a challenge and being in the basement storage area meant the kids were scared to use it. While this was a minor hassle, a photo of this area would paint a clearer picture. We also felt a bit misled by the “balcony” listed, as it is very weathered and creaky wood and quite a small area. We wouldn’t have comfortable sat more than two people really. I see you are going to update this from other comments, and I am sure it will be very nice but probably shouldn’t be a selling point for now. It would also be a great addition to purchase an outdoor travel big enough for the occupancy which was less rickety than the present one, as the table inside only seats 5 at most.
Overall though, you have a gem of a spot and this was a nice stay. For international and interstate visitors, it is so close to the 12 apostles and all the other stunning bays on this coast. It is really the most beautiful part of the world and peterborough is a great place to situate.

4 comfortable bedrooms. Great location as stated for water access, fishing etc. Great communication. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and we couldn’t take advantage of all the wonderful equipment that was available to use, nobody’s fault. Managed to heat up living and kitchen area, bedrooms were cold and drafty in one, (bedding was sufficient), overall feeling, a bit damp. Needs a bit of work, parts of the smallish front deck needs replacing along with handrail. Parts under the eaves are gaping with birds nesting.
BBQ under the house so we didn’t drag it out. Windows are weathered and wooden 1960’s original. Dining table would just fit 5. No dishwasher ( host never claimed there was one but we missed that)
Again very obliging and communicative host, listing is accurate but the house is a bit more rustic than we anticipated. We had come from such a well set out cosy place in contrast ( and slightly cheaper) More of a problem because the weather was cold. Views are lovely, it’s peaceful and no doubt a lot of fun when warm and rustic features wouldn’t have been so noticed. Walk to the river and beach. Canoes, fishing etc. a summer house and needs a bit of work.

This accommodation was fine for our family weekend getaway. Whilst the weather wasn't on our side, this location made it very accessible to visit the sites along the Great Ocean Road. Owners assistance with some trouble shooting things were appreciated and responded too promptly. Thank you for a nice weekend.

Great location, very “beachy”, loved the place. It was very wet and windy so we spent quite a bit of time in house and it had everything we needed.

Centrally located in a sleepy little town. The weather was crap, but the house kept us warm. It is still a pretty spectacular place when the weather is like that.
5.0 / 5.0
This beach house was filled with character and the process was made easy with property owners that were quick to respond and easy to deal with.
We had not visited Peterborough previously, so it was lovely to discover this beautiful sleepy town with such a charming home.
The owners were lovely to deal with and had some suggestions for our visit which were appreciated.
During our stay we managed to visit the 12 Apostles, Port Campbell, Timboon (dairy and ice creamery and distillery), along with a drive to Warrnambool.
We also felt so relaxed returning to the quiet Peterborough and it was lovely to awake to the sounds of the ocean.
Would definitely visit again and will be recommending family and friends.
Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your lovely home.

Excellent location, easy to walk to the inlet for fishing and continue on for a walk to the beach. Property was comfortable and provided us with all amenities that we needed. The house was a bit dusty and there were a few cobwebs around but beds were comfy and clean, towels clean and fluffy. Loved hearing the ocean as I went to sleep. We loved having a bbq and a fire in the pit while watching a nearby thunderstorm. Would stay again and would recommend to others. Thanks Carl for easy and quick communication.

We really enjoyed our stay here, it’s a great house and a great base to explore the great ocean road. There was plenty of room, lovely big beds and couch and all so nicely decorated with colourful artwork, cushions & blankets. A beautiful sunny spot at the kitchen table in the morning and fantastic hot shower. We hope to come back for another stay.

The owner of the property was very rude and did not have any respect for their guests. We chose this place to relax with family and enjoy our weekend however after we left the property owner emailed with such a rude attitude and language they accused us as disgusting family. Also it was false advertising and it did not have 2 bathrooms. I would not recommend this place.

The perfect place to get away and relax by the sea. This place has a nice bygone era feel, a true beach house, with everything you need. This house is clean, cosy, and close to the beach. The pub is only a 2 minute walk which has great meals. This place is also fantastic for pets as the property is private and securely fenced for large and small dogs. Overall, we would highly recommend this house to anyone, particularly families, and we would love to return soon.

Thank you so much for allowing my family and I rent your property for the weekend, we absolutely loved it! Loved the location of the property and loved all the equipment we were able to use aswell. We loved going for a bike ride everyday, riding the boogy boards at the beach, fishing by the river and then coming back to enjoy a fire in the fire drum. Will definitely book again! Best weekend!

Carl's stunning, characterful home is simply the loveliest, most welcoming beach house we've ever stayed at. Thoughtfully styled, furnished and equipped, it sits just metres from the inlet at Peterborough and is in the perfect position to enjoy the water and the beach.The house was clean, airy and very comfortable for our family of four - and set in a peaceful corner of the village with views out over the water.We loved it and can't wait to return.
