Creating an amazing ambiance, around the statement central fireplace is the ideal place to be in the depths of Winter. You could simply cocoon here all weekend on the couch, enjoying the full Foxtel package of movies and sports channels available.

    The house provides 3 bedrooms and the creature comforts of electric blankets and bedroom heaters for the winter and reverse cycle air-conditioning to keep you cool throughout in the warmer months. There is one central bathroom, and a separate laundry.

Enjoyed the property and all the small details that made the stay feel like home away from home. Excellent supplies in the kitchen. Enjoyed the dog run and appreciated the mowed grass to make it usable. Wish we had a longer stay!

Magnificent views

We loved staying at Gone Surfin' - the views are amazing, the decks lovely places to relax & unwind in nature/soak up some sun and lots of space for the dog to explore and sniff. Also lots of things to do nearby which helps with teens. We will come back. 😊

Wow what a view!

Nice house with a well equipped kitchen. The main bedroom needs the air con to be working in our opinion. We found the TV a bit far from the sofa but we certainly enjoyed having Foxtel! The birdlife here is absolutely spectacular!

Beautiful vista of nature and wildlife

We loved the central location to explore the Great Ocean Road. Being in the hills was nice. Please note that the closest town is small with one general store with coffee shop and one nice restaurant. So planning most meals while driving is best for this location. House was roomy.
