Enjoyed our stay. Steep stairs were a bit difficult due to poor fitness but we were told in advance and agreed so can’t complain. The view made up for that. So relaxing watching and listening to the waves.

Fab waterfront old school shack
Unbelievable water frontage with incredible sunset views looking back at Mt Wellington. The walks on Gellibrand Reserve take you to the first whaling station in Australia. We ate fresh flathead caught off the beach and watched a seal playing in Opussum Bay.

Short stay
5 nights on the beach. Location is super, and for the price, the accommodation is great; clean and has everything you need for a self contained place. It gets very sunny in the afternoon so aircon comes in handy after a stroll along the beach. Steve was very responsive and helpful. Check in was a breeze. Thanks!

This place was so nice, the photos don't do it justice. With the sound of waves lapping outside the window day and night, and an amazing view, right on the beach whats there not to love. We will be back for sure

Wonderful property with the beach literally outside the door, very clean and well appointed, it felt cozy and welcoming. We booked very last minute and the owner really went to extraordinary lengths to ensure all was ready for our arrival. Highly recommended.

The second time we have stayed at this great little property, and once again it delivered the goods. Steve is easy and great to deal with and the little cottage is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Positioned absolute beachfront, you can’t beat the location. Would recommend highly.

Small old time shack
Being right on the beach and a full view of the bay is a gift. Economical. Most shacks/homes on OBay have steep steps at some point. The steps from road to this shack to unpack were hard work. A challenge for older adults and young children.

Hidden gem
Overall I love this place. Stephen called a week before check in and explain everything and make sure I know where the key box are and other stuff and he also send the text right after. Great view, clean property, everything provided in the kitchen (salt ,pepper ,soy sauce ,olive oil, tea, coffee, sugar) this makes it so much easier for me to cook my meal since I’m on a program and can’t eat fast food etc. Clean bathroom (which is my no 1 priority) clean bedroom (although the bed bit squeaky but not an issue) PERFECT BEACH VIEW !!!!! We arrived a bit late around 10pm and it’s quite tricky to access the house as it’s pretty dark and it was raining so might have to be extra careful if you arrive in the evening, walk path down is a bit steep, I almost slipped. Just follow the path from the gate and walk down. If you come for or into the Milky Way, you can capture it right above the deck💫💫 I’m very happy staying here and will look forward to stay here again
