Daysy Hill Country Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"Our Daysy Hill Cottages one-night stay in a spa suite was delightful. Reception was smooth and the lady operating it was thoughtful in the advice and suggestions she gave us about where to eat and what to do during our short stay. The suite was clean and the gas fireplace heated the room beautifully. The amenities were perfect and would also be adequate for a much longer stay. The view from our suite looked out over the valley making the outside verandah a lovely place to relax with a beverage and take in the surroundings. This stay was our favourite on our 5 night Great Ocean Road trip and we wished we had booked 2 nights. I would say also that while Port Campbell is tiny it was quaint and appealing. The town was clean and fresh in appearance and offered a good array of dining options. It was a good location from which to travel to see many key highlights of the Great Ocean Road drive."

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at Cabin 5. It was self-contained, with air conditioning and heating, a private bathroom, TV, and a full kitchen featuring a fridge, oven, stovetop, and microwave. The cabin was clean and spacious for 2 people. The heated mattress pad was a thoughtful touch and helped on cold evenings. Literally steps from the start of the Port Campbell Discovery Walk trail. It is also a short drive to major sights like the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, the park amenities spotless, and the riverside atmosphere quiet."

10/10 Excellent
"Our family group of 10, booked Sandy Feet in the hope it would be spacious enough for everyone to be comfortable as well as have some space to retreat for some quiet time. It did not disappoint! The house is very spacious with areas to close off and have time away from each other to relax. It was larger than expected. The spacious dining area has the most comfortable chairs and stayed warm, there was ample crockery for a large group, and the couches with foot rests were a hit with everyone, especially our 79 year old mum. We did bring a bean bag for extra seating for the kids in the lounge room due to our large group size. Three bathrooms meant getting ready for the day was a breeze. Although the house is just out of the main streets of Peterborough, the kids rode their bikes around and it is a super quick drive into town. Melissa was an excellent host- thank you for having us for a fabulous 3 night holiday! We hope to be back in the future to make more memories with the family."
