It's a beautiful place little away from Apollo Bay. Very well located near the coast in a natural surroundings with lots of birds. Be prepared to travel to Apollo Bay for eating or buying anything

An absolutely magical experience! We loved the friendly, local birds that visited every day. The yaks were friendly too. Stunning views of the beach from upstairs. I had coffee and brekky in bed upstairs, watching the azure coloured ocean and nothing can top that as I recover from cancer treatment. The bath and showers were deluxe. The beds super comfy. We’ll definitely be back.

We only stayed for one night, but this place is well worth staying for longer, we had wished we could have! How lovely to fall asleep to the sound of the waves and to be able to wake up and take a walk along the beach.... i was looking forward to see the stars, but unfortunately it was overcast... thanks for a great stay! next time for longer I hope!

This was my first time booking an airbnb and I don’t regret it one bit. The host gave clear instructions in the chat and had instructions inside the house as well so it wasn’t so difficult for us to navigate through the house. It looked even better than in the photos. Everything was just so nice and if ever I want to bring my family to great ocean road, I will be choosing the same spot again. No regrets.

Sam’s place is exactly the experience we wanted our first time visitors from the USA to showcase as some of the best Victoria has to offer.
After a freezing visit to the 12 Apostles, We got the fireplace going and shared our views about all things important - over a bottle of red!
The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were comfy as.
Got a special close-up look at the visitors (cows) in the morning.
Charming place! Highly recommended!!

This was a great getaway with beautiful views to the ocean and back up the hills. Perfect for a family get-together. Main bedroom upstairs was a gem and downstairs perfect for the adult kids. After a walk along the beach and up to the falls, a night by the woodheater was a treat.

A lovely private getaway in the heart of raw natural beauty. The house is well provisioned and comfy. The master bedroom is sensational. Waking up bathed in sunlight to the sights and sounds of waves hitting the coastline was incredibly peaceful. None of us wanted to leave.

excellent farm stay experience in Great Ocean Road. Our family was super impressed by how clean was the house and how well it was maintained. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back again if we have other family/friend coming. Love the backyard that looking at the farm and we enjoyed BBQ at night outside. The daytime view is also magnificant. You will definitely feel calm and peaceful in your stay here.

Seacroft Beach House is in a beautiful setting between Lorne and Apollo Bay. Pristine area without all the tourism noise. The Beach House itself is superbly set up with two bedrooms on the main floor and a separate suite on the second level. That second level is the highlight -- with views to the sea and close enough to hear the waves crashing. The beach is directly across the street and perfect for a quiet morning or evening walk.
Sam's communication and property description were fantastic. Would definitely book again when in the area. Thank you!

already looking forward to coming back again, but for longer this time as one night is definitively not enough. The beds were ultra comfy, the place was clean, renovated with taste, garden in neat condition... honestly one of the best places I have ever stayed at.

A great stop just off the GOR and a short hop from Apollo Bay and all it has to offer. The house was cosy and exactly what we wanted but a place we know we could come back to and enjoy in the summer. Everything was easy. Great communication from Sam and check in was a breeze. Sugarloaf Beach just across the road was excellent for a splodge in the water with the wellies on. All round a nice pleasant experience.

Sam's place is a beautiful and comfortable hide away. A stone throw away from the beach, a short drive to Lorne or Apollo Bay and an easy trip to some of the best spots in the Otways.
The home had everything you need and the upstairs bedroom was a lovely design with amazing views of the ocean but also the rolling hills and farmland behind the property.

Sam's place is great! Its an old house with interiors redone - not a huge space but adequate. The location is absolutely amazing, with one side facing the ocean and the other side showing a grassy knoll with farm animals in the adjacent property. Supplies could be better - more handsoaps, kitchen towels etc, but hopefully that situation is rectified easily and quickly.

Situated on the Great Ocean Rd, opposite Sugarloaf Beach, this newly renovated beach house offers both coastal and rural views. It was a very comfortable stay for 6 people. The modern kitchen has all the necessities including coffee machine & dishwasher. The fire place provided a relaxing atmosphere on a winter Night. The parents retreat with free standing bath was an added luxury. Highly recommended.
