Birthday holiday
Lovely place and beach walks, home was very tidy and had everything we needed. The beds were not too comfortable though. Particularly the kids beds.

A very comfortable stay and very grateful for wood burner and ample supply of fuel...two days of stormy weather but we were very cosy. Great location. Lovely Sea View

Colac bay retreat
Relaxing and peaceful. Even though 2 of us were less than an hour from our homes we felt like we were on a holiday and could have been anywhere in the world. I recommend short getaways even if it's your own back yard. A change of scenery does a world of good.

Colac Bay in August
Great stay thanks - clean, warm, well appointed. Great communication from hosts. Good fire and plenty of firewood - perfect for a winter getaway. Nice base to explore the area - plenty to see and do if you dont surf, perfect spot if you do surf.

Beautiful sea
We enjoyed our stay, perhaps some updated pics would be a good idea as properties start being developed, wifi would be nice as not alot to do in the winter rains. We did have to clean the property on arrival but aside from that we enjoyed our stay, it was warm, cosy and comfy 😀

Hi Tania. Thank you for your comments. Can you please message me privately about the cleaning. We need to give feedback to our cleaner and if you had to clean the property upon your arrival, that is not acceptable for us and I apologize. I would like to rectify this for you if you could please email me the details. Thank you.

ideal short holiday in a delightful spot
Everything was easy, from arrival to departure. The bach is located at the end of a quiet road, not far from the beach. The weather was warm and calm and we were able to make use of the ample outdoor seating and eating space. Inside was clean, cosy and comfortable. Thank you

Over all our stay was great at the oyster lane property. the property had everything we needed ,was warm and comfortable. The only thing we would like to mention ,as there is a cleaning charge being taken, but on our arrival at the property we had to vacuum the lounge and kitchen and Clean the bathroom .

Hi Paul - thank you for your review and apologies about the property not being up to cleaning standard. I checked with our cleaner and she thinks it was left spotless but obviously if it wasn’t up your standard, then it wouldn’t be up to ours either. If you have any photos of what wasn’t done properly I would appreciate them. Irrespective I would be happy to refund you the cleaning fee. Please send me your bank account details. We hope to be able to host you again in the future. Serena

This was the perfect beach escape for us. So perfect if you have young children as there were lots of toys, puzzles and games provided. It was such a cozy sweet beach cottage we loved it and will definitely book it again.

Very relaxing and most enjoyable Bach ever
Amazing Bach and location. The fire in lounge very cosy, lovely amenities. Everything there for an enjoyable and relaxing weekend. Bed was very comfortable. Beautiful views of the ocean. One of the more nicer places we've ever stayed at. Thank you to our hosts.

Seaside stay
Lovely cosy seaside cottage. Great walks on the beach and an easy walk to Colac Bay. Although it poured with rain on our second day of our stay the cottage was warm and welcoming.

Perfect bach for our weekend retreat. The house warmed up nicely with the fire and lovely open feel of the place with floor to ceiling windows. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Recommend - fully fenced home 1 min from the beach
This fully fenced home was perfect for us and the dog who could roam around freely. The beach was so close down a lane and very enjoyable for walks in any weather. We loved the fire place, the relaxing setting, and choice of books and videos. There are many walks, short and bit longer, in the vicinity and the Crib Cafe has the best coffee, lovely food, all just a few minutes' drive. The bed was very comfy as were the sofas. I recommend this home if you are after a quiet location.

Awesome weekend getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your gorgeous place at Colac Bay. I had never been there before. We swam in the ocean, rode bikes and played golf. Fishing unsuccessful but one of our group got some surfing in.

I was pleasantly surprised how warm the bach was for September even without the fire going. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. Will be happy to stay again.

Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay at Serena’s place. The location was incredible, a stones throw from the beach but rural and very peaceful. We stayed in winter and with the firing roaring the house was incredible cosy, it had everything we needed to enjoy a few relaxing nights away. Would highly recommend and we will be returning for sure!

Modern comfy home
Place was hard to find and we were surprised no linen provided in bedroom or kitchen and bathroom. Serena kindly gave us access to linen from a locked cupboard.We had huge winds and rain and house was very noisy. No window coverings in living areas meant we felt very exposed. However the place was sparkling clean well appointed safe and private. Serena went out of her way to help us when I phoned her.Would love to stay again.
