Room was not clean dirty towels cups and unmade bed. Property owners were not available. It was the worst experience. We had to book else where and now no refund is being processed we are completely disgusted in the service from Expedia and the Rayville boat house it’s unacceptable. We drove 3 hours to find a room unusable and then not being able to get in contact with the owner then they contact back hours later after we had to find somewhere else. Worst experience.

The place has a great location, very close to the beach. However, guests are required to clean their own kitchenware and take out their own trash, which makes me wonder what exactly is included in the room rate—perhaps just the rent? That being said, it’s very quiet at night. The sound insulation isn’t the best, so it might not be ideal for those who are very sensitive to noise. But if you’re only staying for a short time, it’s still a decent option.

Property was easy to access, was a bit dated, oven was very dirty with food and black oil on the bottom from previous guests, we were going to use it but changed our minds when we saw the condition it was in. We chose to eat out and the restaurant that were walkable distance from the property. Beach was a nice walk, lots of rock pools to explore. The house could do with a better clean of surfaces as it was pretty dusty/dirty. Scum around spa and bathroom and toilet needed a good clean. Double bed was very comfortable. Stairs are very noisy to walk up and down to the bathroom on the lower level. The highlight of our stay was the location of the property close to everything.

The communication from the owners was amazing. They kept us informed and provided us clear instructions prior to arrival. The property had a free washing machine and dryer to use which was a great service.
The property was not clean at all, the table was sticky, the crockery was not clean and the inside of the pantry had ring marks from the glasses.
The iron kept tripping the power of the property, so we could not use this.
The property had a damp/musky smell as soon as we opened the door, even though the window were open. The toilet bowl was loose and was not secure to the floor.
I would not recommend staying here at all, as we were quite disappointed.

We loved the beach house! It's been made with such quality and attention to detail. Everything's been thought of and we so quickly felt at ease when we arrived, to the clean, light and bright space.

The beach is a few hundreds meters down the road, you can hear it at night- it’s divine. We fell in love with the seaside lifestyle!
We will be back and recommend to all who want great accomodation and amenities within the area.

Overall, my experience was mixed. On the one hand, the villa was spacious and cozy, which I appreciated. The heat lamps in the bathroom were a nice touch and the amenities all worked well, including the smart TV. The check-in process was also easy and the villa was conveniently located within a short walking distance to the shops.

However, there were also several areas for improvement. The air conditioner was positioned directly above the bed, which was not ideal. I was also disappointed to find stains on the bath towel and dandruff on the bed. The tables were sticky and the bed was very hard. Additionally, the villa was nestled in the neighbourhood and did not have an ocean view. Parking was also tight and I could hear other guests late into the night. Finally, I was expected to wash dishes and take out the bins after my stay, which I felt was unreasonable given the high room rate of upwards of $250. The villa also looked tired and in need of maintenance.

Overall, while there were some positives, the negatives outweighed them.

The property itself was beautiful. It does need abit of maintenance.it was great we could park within our villa carport, it was abit tight however trying to navigate through the garden. Our villa was advertised with a spa/ jacuzzi. We went to use this and Jetts did not work. I called the host Amanda and text her but no reply. This was disappointing. The following day we checked out and still no follow up. One toilet paper roll and no spare in a unit for up to 5 people. I emailed the property and again no response. I did not want to post a review and instead contacted property directly to give them an opportunity to respond to the issues. They have not. Overall, disappointing.

For what appears to have been a well loved and used villa, the two bedroom villa was clean and very close to the beach/shops etc.

A previous posted review had mentioned the narrow car parking- I’d have to agree unfortunately. Only small vehicles would easy parking. It’s not impossible, but is very difficult with a larger car.

Winter Freeze Beware

It’s what they don’t tell you that is disappointing! Booked well in advance a Deluxe Loft Villa with main bed and bathroom on ground floor and single beds upstairs. Received a text a few hours before we arrived that we were upgraded, but when we arrived the Villa was freezing and only heating was 2 small oil heaters on ground floor. Yes there is a Conara heater which was full of the last users left over wood, to go out and cut your own wood, kindling, paper and get the fire cleaned and started again when its dark and freezing outside is poor service. The split system did not work at all. We had to put the oven and all the cook tops on just to get the chill of the ground floor. Lucky there was an electric blanket on the main bed. Also with the upgrade all bedrooms are upstairs and bathrooms downstairs, finding your way down a rickety small and narrow staircase during the night was a pain for us older Aussies . The shower over the spar was terrible. Parking in a carport next to our villa was difficult for our medium sized car, don't even try with a larger car!. You also had to clean up your kitchen-bins and bring in to the outside bins! The villa was clean and the bed comfortable.

Pros: Property was well located.
Cons: Parking was extremely tight. Unit was tired and run down, needing a lick of paint. Rooms had to be self serviced with coffee, tea, milk and toilet paper from the main office. Main complaint was the lack of cleanliness - oil residue on the stove hot plates, soiled marks on the white towels, urine stench in the main bedroom and an airconditioning system that was nonoperational (needed on a hot day). No fix or compensation offered for the latter. I expected more for the price and would look elsewhere next time.

Overpriced and underwhelming

Spent two nights at the Boathouse and was a little disappointed with my stay. First off, the code that was emailed to me to access to the home was incorrect, and the front office was closed. We waited almost half an hour to find someone that could assist. When we entered the house, the clean towels were missing, and I found dirty towels and dirty socks left in the laundry. The bin also was dirty and had rubbish left over underneath the liner, and the TV didn't work. The house needs a good scrub and looks very tired. The best part of the property is that it is a good location, only 5 mins walk to the main part of Apollo Bay, however it is still nice and quiet. Communication prior to stay via email was great but the accommodation itself was a letdown and would not stay again.

Lovely peacefull location. Close walk to town and beach. Staff (Steph and Nick) polite and friendly. Our apartment (loft) was spacious and well designed. So much to like. BUT... How about replacing the dish washing brush and sponge. Both were well past use by date with the brush encrusted in filth. Our downstairs bed had 4 pillows so we slept well. The upstairs beds only had one pillow each which were more pancake flat. Our boys had a terrible sleep. The spa tap leeks which didn't bother us but it's a sign that attention to maintenance is poor.

Boathouse in suburbia .. Expected better ..

Boathouse = water & views, but not in this case .. It's suburbia and disappointing. The view is of your driveway and a wall, as you are one of 12 double storey cottages on the block, nicely located 5min walk from the water and town. Reception staff are very friendly, however reception is only open from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. The cottage itself is nothing special, open plan lounge/dining, kitchen & only bathroom with a huge spa, but you need to step over the high lip to get into the shower .. Not good if you have little kids or mobility issues. The 2 spacious bedrooms are upstairs, but if you need to go to the bathroom during the night, it's downstairs! For us, it's overpriced and there are probably cheaper equal/ better choices with views, elsewhere. Did not like the self checkout sheet, where it was mentioned not cleaning dishes/ emptying bins could incur a $20.00 fee!

Good accommodation in convenient location

We stopped over for one night on a Great Ocean Road trip - a party of five adults. The location is excellent, with a 5min walk to shops and restaurants. Accommodation is clean and spacious, with queen, double and twin bedrooms and one bathroom downstairs. Lounge, dining room and balcony with great view are upstairs. Furniture and decor was a bit tired and could do with a make-over. However, considering it is a three bedroom house and is probably most used by families with kids, some wear and tear is inevitable. The young couple that managed the properties were very friendly and helpful. We made a good choice.

Weekend getaway for two

The boathouses were positioned as luxury accomadation and were not cheap at $250 a night mid winter off season. They are not luxury. The caretaker backpacker staff were lovely abd the place was clean and pretty comfortable but not what we were expecting for the price and advertising. The decor was tired with cushions on the couch like something out of a thrift shop. Thin towels, cheap shampoo no conditioner and cheap soap. Cheap teabags no green tea. Stains on the spare old blue blanket on bed. View of houses across the road. Very underwhelming.

Nice clean cottage, not quite as per description

Very clean tidy little cottage. I read the reviews before booking, so had some idea, but it was a little disappointing that there was no view to the beach at all, as per the description of the hotel.
The log fire was lovely but quite small, and the firewood they give you is quite large. We struggled to keep the fire going with the lack of kindling, and small logs, and you had to keep asking for more, as it was locked up.
There are no books, or dvd's in the cottage, neither any small cute items (such as chockies or bickies) in the empty basket on the table, which would have been nice. Overall a lovely location, and within walking distance to the shops, but not a cottage to snuggle up in for a romantic weekend.

Nice and luxurious accommodation

I stayed in the Loft for 1 night. It is very comfortable and ideal for discovering the Great Ocean Road. There is a spa corner in the bathroom as well as a spacious terrace where you can enjoy a beautiful view on the sea. The price is quite cheap for an accommodation like that, I think it's a good deal !
