My partner & I loved our stay, we didn't want to leave. This property offers the feeling of bush camping with all the amenities you need and is dog friendly. It's the perfect location to explore the coast. The hosts communication was good and they were very welcoming. We have already rebooked, can't wait to come back
A beautiful, peaceful spot in the bush with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We absolutely loved it and would happily recommend it. Even though it was hot outside, the place stayed cool and comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind. Debbie and Noel were great hosts!
Beautiful building and location. Pet friendly, well stocked for coffee and tea options. Had the fire ready for our arrival. A nice private getaway, will be back again.
We loved the secluded location of the property and especially the spa bath that was nicely located within the main area of the cabin. The bed was comfy, we loved the fact that all basic cooking needs were there- oil, salt, tea, coffee and milk. The place was clean and serene, and we didn't realise until the following day that the fireplace was stacked and ready to light! Loved the fireplace too. It wasn't the best weather, so we stayed indoors, but the outdoors looked like a lovely area to explore. The wifi was fast and worked well, we were overall really happy with our stay- it was just what we needed to unwind and relax from our busy lives!!
My partner and I along with our dog had a lovely short stay at this delightful property. It is secluded and private, set in Bushland and very quiet. The accomodation had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Love
Shack.
Very peaceful and serene which is what we both needed.
Our 2 dogs had an absolute ball there.
This is our second time there and we certainly will be back again.
Thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting/needing a relaxing stay. We loved sitting on the back porch with a glass of wine and taking in the scenery. Take some carrots to feed the horses. Cottage exceptionally clean and well appointed. We look forward to another stay - this time in the cooler months.
The place was neat and tidy, and the setting was calming. We came on a rainy day, and were able to enjoy staying indoors for most of the day. Very relaxing.
11/10 highly recommend!Before we even got there, Debs communication was great. Location of the Love shack was amazing, we already felt detoxed as we parked the car and we hadn't even opend the door! Upon entry, the shack was spotless, warm and cozy. There was plenty of wood for the fire, bed was comfy, spa was perfect and it was only about a 15ish minute drive to the restaurants with 5 star food.I already want to go back! If I was to nit pick and point out the faults which were very minor, I would say I was really excited to wake up to horses however there wasnt any around as pictured. Also the spa jets didnt turn inside the bath so they were either really strong or they had to be turned off, we couldn't adjust them.Thank you for a stay to remember, we will definitely be back some day, it was up there with one of the best!
Despite 24/7 rain and wind for our stay we loved our time here. The woodfire and spa bath made it really comfortable inside and our 1 year old border collie loved exploring the area. Great little touches such as warm fire waiting for us and plenty of dog towels helped us manage the wild conditions. Highly recommend
Absolutely perfect! We stayed here for the 3rd time and loved it just as much as ever. The property is gorgeous and private. The cabin is warm and cozy. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Quiet, beautiful bush/rural location.A spacious mudbrick studio, fab ambience and views. Everything you need for a relaxing getaway ot a base to be just a short drive to all that Torquay and Anglesea has to offer.Hosts were so accommadating and great to deal with.
Everything about the accommodation was great. We have been recommending it to everyone since we got home. Noel and Deb were amazing, even including some banking confusion on our end. We will definitely be back.
Relaxing, tranquil, mesmerising surroundings. Just enjoying the spa, sitting on the verandah listening to the wildlife, watching the horses, sitting around the fire at night, took us far away from our crazy busy lives.
