Really enjoyed our stay in this unique home surrounded by beautiful gardens and amazing views
Beautiful property, full of wildlife, and the koala snoring in a gum tree in the garden was a highlight.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is on a beautiful spot with great views. The house was cosy and warm despite the weather! We were lucky enough to see koalas and wallabies nearby as well so made it a special trip for us all.
Our family had a gorgeous 3 nights in this beautiful, cosy home. We loved being surrounded by original artworks and enjoying the stunning views from each window. We had hours of fun playing pool, table tennis, board games and cards and reconnecting as a family! Apollo Bay is beautiful part of our great state, and this is a wonderful little home away from home.
Gwinganna was exactly what we were looking for. It is extremely peaceful and secluded, in a stimulating natural setting, with a beautiful kitchen, big roaring fire, and plenty that kept us amused. We can't wait to stay again some day.
There were seven adults staying at the property, it was so lovely! we played lots of pool and table tennis. The gardens and surrounding bush were beautiful! the house was very cosy with everything you need plus stunning art work and deco.
