Everything from the ease of check in to falling asleep to the sound of waves on the beach made this property perfect for a weekend away for myself.
Will absolutely stay again 💛
We had a very nice stay at opossum bay. The view from the front was amazing. Bed was very comfortable and the whole layout was good. The only negative is: that it would be good if a handrail was installed for pathway to the property. Overall we had a lovely time
The second time we have stayed at this great little property, and once again it delivered the goods.
Steve is easy and great to deal with and the little cottage is perfect for a relaxing getaway.
Positioned absolute beachfront, you can’t beat the location.
Would recommend highly.
Cute little house with reasonably steep descend to the house. Amazing views. Single beds are suited for children more than adults. Overall a good place to stay. Very neat & tidy
Beach right at your door step. Amazing location and just right for our young family. Thankyou for sharing your beach property with us. We look forward to returning.

Greart little place for a quick stop. Right on the beach - fell asleep listening to the waves. Loved it!
We loved everything about our stay. The bed was very comfortable, the beach cottage had everything that we needed, being able to step out onto the beach and water was just magical. Listening to the water just metres away from the windows at night was so relaxing even watching people walk by in the mornings while having our coffee was a treat. We also do a lot of walking so having a trail close by was an added bonus. Definitely a place to come back to for a longer stay.
Just what I needed, time to switch off in my most favourite place on the planet. I was brought up here and it never gets old. Thankyou for sharing your awesome beach shack. See you next year!

Wonderful property with the beach literally outside the door, very clean and well appointed, it felt cozy and welcoming.
We booked very last minute and the owner really went to extraordinary lengths to ensure all was ready for our arrival. Highly recommended.
This place was so nice, the photos don't do it justice. With the sound of waves lapping outside the window day and night, and an amazing view, right on the beach whats there not to love. We will be back for sure
Unbelievable water frontage with incredible sunset views looking back at Mt Wellington.
The walks on Gellibrand Reserve take you to the first whaling station in Australia.
We ate fresh flathead caught off the beach and watched a seal playing in Opussum Bay.
5 nights on the beach. Location is super, and for the price, the accommodation is great; clean and has everything you need for a self contained place. It gets very sunny in the afternoon so aircon comes in handy after a stroll along the beach.
Steve was very responsive and helpful. Check in was a breeze. Thanks!
Enjoyed our stay. Steep stairs were a bit difficult due to poor fitness but we were told in advance and agreed so can’t complain. The view made up for that. So relaxing watching and listening to the waves.
