Das Bauernhaus - Johanna Seaside Cottages

Place is great for a weekend away with extended family. Pool was a big hit and beds very comfortable.

Loved this property. We kept our food scraps to feed the chickens, we picked some superb herbs to make our dinners just that bit "fancier". Late summer would be perfect to take advantage of the Orchard's produce. Our dog loved this backyard, he loves to play fetch, so we had plenty of room for him to exercise. We were within walking distance to the beach for our human exercise too. And as long as we were not disturbing our "Valley" stay neighbours, we also enjoyed a stroll in the nearby gardens admiring the work that has gone into them. It was exactly what we needed. I would definitely consider a winter stay here too.

Enjoyed the stay. Would have given a higher rating but for three things. 1) the price hike for cup weekend. Not sure why properties do this, I don't believe it costs more to have people stay during peak times. 2) the floor was not clean. We didn't wear shoes inside and our feet got dirty upon arrival. My daughter started to wear socks to keep her feet clean. The floor needs a proper clean. 3) the constant reminder to keep the place clean (especially since we had a dog) was stressful. Saying that, the property and location is great. Easy walk to the beach. Pool is good. Great to be able to take our dog to the national park. Suggestion for people going - take books / games. There are none in the house.

Everything we needed for a family holiday. The house was spotless, nice and cozy with fire nad split system. We hope to be back

Very nice, peaceful place just a few minutes from The Great Ocean Road. The house is very nicely renovated old farmhouse situated on a working farm. We enjoyed views from the living room, walks on the fantastic beach and siting in the afternoon sun outside. There is a space for 8 to sleep but unfortunately there is no space for 8 in the sitting area. I can also imagine that for a bigger group one bathroom only (there are two separate toilets) can be rather inconvenient but it is a small price to pay for this authentic rural experience.
