Just want to say thank you to the managers. Made everything so comfortable. Thanks for lighting the wood fire for me and for waiting until late for me. Thanks for helping to cook large Lobster from harbour down the road! The Rayville Houses are extremely lovely, clean and very nice! See you again!

Beautiful little beachy style (you know the wood beach type houses) place, beautiful managers. We (+ baby) enjoyed the really beautiful "autumn going towards winter" in Apollo Bay walking down to beach, rainforest or restaurants. Most importantly in winter, the little house was very warm in every way - Wood Fire, Spa (and we found it quite important that you... More

Stayed here for one night and found the place average for the money paid. While it was clean it was poorly maintained. Overgrown garden, wood that needed repainting etc. On leaving we were left a checklist to complete that seemed somewhat child-like " rubbish out" "oven cleaned" " spa sanitized" "dishes washed" ..... Obviously the $215 did not cover cleaning!... More

Disappointed!!! Too expensive! We went there on 16th March and found it more than disappointing. We had unit 2 and unlike what was shown on the website photos, the look and feel of the place looked rather old and dusty. The place seemed to have been quickly cleaned up but bathroom was not entirely clean and the fireplace still had... More

Stayed one night and it was a great tripadvisor recommendation. The rooms are open plan with good kitchen facilities and a sitting area with tv. Upstairs there were two single beds tucked into the small loft room. There was a small deck as well. Being on a quiet street meant a good nights sleep apart from the clock radio going... More

A nice cosy spot to rest after a long drive along great ocean road. This resort is really a gem, comes with full kitchen facilties, a great cosy place to sit by a fire place. A short walk takes you to the Apollo bay beach. Absolutely a tranquil place to rest. Oh yes, the heated beds helps a lot too.... More

We've just come back from a 9 night stay at the Rayville Boat Houses, staying in Boatouse 1 - Allen. The house was very clean and was exactly as described, all of the basics were provided, and although no washing facility was in the house there was a laundry room on site. They are in a great location for all... More

Unfortunately, we spent only two nights at this place. The cottages are a bit on the expensive side, but very pretty and clean, with lots and lots of space. They offer a complete kitchen simply everything you might need. The owner is very friendly and helpful. This property is certainly the ideal place on the Great Ocean Road. It is... More

The location in Apollo Bay is great; 3 minute walk to the beach and port, 5 minutes to the cafes/shops. It's a good base for the Great Ocean Rd, it's about 2.5 hours from Melbourne and 1.5 hour drive to the 12 Apostles. The cottages are very pretty and contain a full kitchen with crockery, pots and pans, and the... More

We stayed here our last night on the Great Ocean Road. Cottage was a 2 bedroom that was clean, well-equipped. Not new but definitely well maintained. Greeted by owner, who was helpful and friendly at check-in. Having a bird's nest with 3 baby birds outside our dining room window was an added bonus.
