Cottage holiday rentals in Colac Otway Shire

It was an amazing spot. great to repeat

We had a great stay in the couple's room. It was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The villa was beautiful and perfect for relaxing. We really enjoyed our time there.

This place was awesome and exactly as pictured! Nice gardens to walk around and look at flowers and vegetables growing or sit outside and bird watch. Highly recommend this place and these hosts! Easy drives to lots of pretty places. We saw kangaroo and koala in the wild on our day trips and stunning scenery! Beds were comfortable as were other furnishing. Nice shower, wish I’d had time to try to jacuzzi tub. Decor was nice and beautiful artwork on the walls. Really nice place!

Glenaire Cottages are a little slice of heaven. Tranquil, secluded and beautiful. Cosy and comfy stay and the spa baths are next level! Hosts are super helpful and proactive giving heaps of recommendations. Definitely recommend!

We stayed at Rebecca and Sav's peaceful retreat after 3 nights hiking on the great ocean walk. It is all you could need, comfortable and in a truly spectacular location.

Thank you Alex, our holiday exceeded all my expectations! The space was beautifully decorated, clean, and equipped with all the amenities one could ask for. The location was perfect, allowing easy access to the beach and a short drive into Apollo Bay. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space, which was great for relaxing after a day of exploring. Overall, I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I can't wait to return!

Rickie-Lee's place was clean and was fully stocked with amenities and things we could use to make our stay great. We made full use of the BBQ and fire pit. Beds were really comfy and the house was well insulated which would be great for the colder months.

We loved our stay at the Boomerangs. The cabins and surrounds were lovely with an amazing view from the lounge room and decking. Lots of great things to do in the area. We’d definitely come again.

This is my second time staying at Roost and it is just breathtaking! Incredibly dog friendly, perfect setting, walk up the beach at Johanna to the rock pools. Two mumma koalas with babies right at the doorstep, Gang Gang cockatoo munching by the kitchen window. Can’t ask for more!

Absolutely exceeded expectations. Such a beautiful and peaceful place with so many thoughtful touches!

Petrina's cottage was so idyllic and cozy, perfectly nestled amongst stunning nature! It was a 5 out of 5 stay — clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a getaway along The Great Ocean Road or in The Otway's. Thank you again for letting us stay in your beautiful place.

From the moment we arrived at Cedarwood Cottage, we felt completely at home. The cottage is beautifully styled—cozy, quiet, and surrounded by nature. We spent our mornings sipping coffee on the deck, listening to the birds, and our evenings curled up by the fire. Jade and James were the perfect hosts—warm, welcoming, and highly responsive. Their thoughtfulness really made our stay feel special. Cedar Cottage is the perfect base to explore the area—Lorne is just down the road with great cafes and beaches, and the Great Ocean Road drives are absolutely stunning. We also loved hiking in the nearby Otways, exploring waterfalls, and admiring the beautiful scenery in the area. This place is a true gem. We left feeling refreshed, already dreaming of coming back.

Lovely place in the bush. Very clean and peaceful. Great to have a fireplace and dvds to watch. Telstra was available. The road was long and winding so I wouldn’t recommend doing many trips back and forth

Lovely stay at Ian's place. We love how we feel right at home. Will be back again.

Wow! This place is amazing. We were a family group of 10. Two families of four and two grandparents. As a group we ranged from highly active to reduced mobility (walker) and it was an ideal environment for us all to explore and reconnect, over and over. There was something for everyone. The swimming pool was brilliant and it was a real treat to be swimming and looking at sheep and horses grazing in the paddock, with rolling hills and bush beyond. The kitchen was great and the dining table fit us all, so we enjoyed dinner around the table together each night after bushwalking the various tracks. We thought three nights would be enough to do everything as the property looked to be reasonably remote, but we were wrong. There is so much to explore in the local towns and within the property. We loved it so much that we are already booking again for next year! Highly recommend if you want space to relax, bushwalk, and reconnect with loved ones. I could say more but I've run out of words!

We just adored our stay at Billie’s in Birregurra. Beautiful and comfortable home, that is very well equipped! Great kitchen, big backyard which was good for the dog and we loved using the fireplace in the lounge at night. Travel cot and high chair were fabulous for our little one. Excellent location, easy walk to the Main Street in Birregurra and lovely neighbours. Made for a wonderful family holiday, would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing two-night stay at Glen View as a stopover during our Melbourne to Adelaide journey on the Great Ocean Road. Johanna is a truly beautiful section of the GOR where rolling green hills and farmlands meet the ocean. The cottage is delightfully laid out and well provisioned, with quality bedding and toiletries, a lovely fire-place and a shed full of wood (and reverse cycle a/c for the summer months and the impatient!) A visit to the chicken shed to collect farm fresh eggs and the orchard for some lemons was a nice treat for us suburbanites! The kitchen is fully functional with pretty much all equipment you could need, including a coffee machine. Absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!!!

A great choice for families with teenagers - there were enough beds for my kids to each bring a friend and they all made good use of the pool and games room. Their only complaint was about the rather steep walk back to the cottage, which may challenge some. The bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and beautiful forest views, and the kitchen well-appointed - if there was any utensil I couldn't find or if a condiment ran out Nicole arranged for it to be delivered immediately. We enjoyed walks around the property, mountain biking, beach days and golf in Lorne and visited Sheoak Falls. A relaxing and fun long weekend.

We had a fantastic time at Sara’s accommodation. Once you get past the unpaved road leading to the cabin, you’ll be greeted by a beautiful forest and adorable alpacas! The accommodation carries a sense of history but has its own charm. Meals with the stunning scenery were truly enjoyable. The countless stars in the night sky are something we will never forget. Sara was incredibly kind, and we would love to visit again.

We have enjoyed a very peaceful week in Joanna Cottage. Despite a couple of stormy nights, we felt cozy and warm inside in front of the log fire. Such a stunning view! I loved visiting the hens for a couple of fresh eggs, and there was everything we needed inside the cottage to make for a comfortable stay. Our hosts were always available to help us with any questions. A wonderful place to stay.

We loved our stay here! The place was stunning, perfect for a quiet weekend away. Beautiful location, lovely and clean home. The place feels very homey and we loved the access to the pool, chook shed and veggies/herbs. Will be back very soon!!!

We had a lovely stay celebrating our wedding anniversary. Pool was lovely and we loved the gym and the sauna ($35 per session) set in nature watching the birds in the trees was a fantastic way to start the day. Wild life in the area was amazing, wallabies, echidna, kookaburra to name a few. The cottage was great, a second air con would be helpful as the first days were very hot and the one aircon was located in just one bedroom. Linen is fresh, decor lovely and the beds were nice and large (I do prefer a softer mattress but that is just personal preference). The second toilet was great for a family. Gentle Annie on Friday night is great and was a great way to celebrate. I liked the touches such as shampoo, conditioner, soaps, air freshener were beautiful. Lovely T2, bottle of bubbles and delicious jam were a pleasant surprise. We had a great stay and will be back! Thank you

Place was close to the beach but a little far from groceries etc so would recommend getting something on the way. Very remote and a great place to just switch off and relax. Very clean ! Would stay again.

Had a wonderful time at King Parrot cottage. The cottage was really lovely and well cared for in such a remote location. Amazing for a weekend getaway. Nicole was very helpful and prompt in assisting with any queries. If you want to have a quite time away from the city, this is the place. Highly recommend!
