have stayed here five consecutive years, farmstay-type accomodation, varying accomodation types, great for families and dog friendly, fantastic beaches to explore, winding and hilly roads and tracks for mountain biking and hiking, close to attractions such as Otway Fly and Apollo Bay etc, solar indoor pool, fresh eggs to collect each morning, vegetable garden with seasonal produce, friendly and accomodating staff, as much exercise or as little exercise as you wish, not five star luxury resort but unique, comfortable and worthy of at least a full and very relaxing week.

Short walk to the sea. Beautiful setting, Well equipped, Roomy. Fresh herbs, vegetables and free range eggs can be gathered/picked. Clean! You can bring your dog! Friendly staff. Warm indoor pool.

Absolutle idealic setting. Walk across the cow paddocks to the beautiful beach. Collect free range eggs from the chook house for breakfast, or gather some vegies from the vegie patch and make a salad for dinner. Nothing here has been overlooked. From homemade biscuits in your house to the great heated pool and the best part is you get to take your dogs with you to enjoy all this too!

Joy and the cottages were just what we were looking for. Joy was very pleasant and the cottage itsnatly relaxing once we had unpacked. Away from any city and next to a great beach made it the perfect familty holiday retreat.

What a wonderful tranquil and relaxing place to stay. Best holiday we’ve all had in Victoria – the dogs have been discussing a permanent move.

Had a fantastic family weekend in the “farm house”. The kids were able to collect the eggs for breakfast and pick vegies from the garden for dinner. Warm, friendly hosts that accomodated our needs with no fuss. Definately go back!!

Self contained, dog friendly place. We stayed in the ‘farm house’ & it was lovely. Very relaxing & great scenic walk to the beach. Access to the heated pool, fresh eggs, herbs & vegies. Great place for seaside relaxing holiday & away from the ‘rat race’ of Melbourne. Staff are very friendly & obliging. Highly recommended

My family and I have been going to Johanna Seaside cottages for the last 12 years. The fact we keep returning year after year speaks for itself. Our host Joy Evans and her team consistently provide the highest of service. The accommodation is impeccable; comfortable and clean with all the mods and cons one could wish for. My two dogs have a wonderful stay and look forward to their walks, now more a slow stroll, around the property and the beach. My two children have grown up visiting Johanna, and even now in their twenties, make every effort not to miss at least a few days at Johanna. The fresh produce and eggs grown and produced at Johanna are another amazing bonus. Joy Evans and her team are to be congratulated on the service and the standard of accommodation provided in all the various cottages. Nothing is ever too much troble for the staff at Johanna Seaside Cottages! Congratulations to all.

we go to Johanna Seaside Cottages every year at Christmas. Some years for Easter. Our visits have been un-broken for over 10 years, and we have a booking for this Christmas.
The courtesy and hospitality afforded to us by Joy over this time has been faultless and consistent making us feel part of the family. Our dogs are welcome and nothing is too much trouble.
I recommend Johanna Seaside Cottages for those wishing privacy, peace and a hassle free holiday, and you can bring your dogs if you wish.
Happy Holiday
Rob

We stayed in the orginal farm house, with the chooks out the back a lovely seasonal veggie patch to the side, a great front yard for the dog to run around in, the amazing fast paddocks to look at from the kitchen window and of course the beautiful ocean just min walk away!! An amazing beautiful place to stay! You will not bet better looked after than Johanna Seaside Cottages……

I organised accommodation for 14 people at Johanna Seaside cottages. All of my friends had a wonderful time there – and we certainly made ourselves at home. The food we ordered via a local cook delivered to the house was delicious and our host made us feel very welcome – even letting us collect eggs from the henhouse and obtaining fresh vegetables and herbs from the garden. We found it a lovely clean place to stay and good value for money. Would definitely stay there again. We used the accommodation on our travels walking the Great Ocean Road.

Our bushwalking club has stayed at Johanna Beach Seaside Cottages twice, with very pleasurable experiences each time. The refurbished Farmhouse is great for large groups, with a huge indoor pool, seasonal fresh herbs + veggies, and lots of chook eggs (all close at hand). The outlying Cottages are very private and exceptionally well equipped for smaller groups, including firewood for the coonara and heaps of DVD movies. The Great Ocean Walk (GOW) runs nearby, with many other pet-friendly tracks just outside your door. The 600 acre farm has been in Joy Evans’ family for several generations, and she really makes you feel welcome. Fantastic place in any season!!

What a wonderful place for a girls long weekend which included 3 small dogs.
Wonderful hosts who help with any problems, including giving us some flour to cook a special recipe. Close to beach with spectacular views. The units are clean and the kitchen are well equipped. This place has all the small nice touches that you do not expect. Would have not hesitation in staying here again.

Comfortable quarters, spectacular scenery in Victoria’s Otway Ranges with close ocean views, rugged coast line and pristine beaches, all combined with a friendly family atmosphere. I can recommend it to family groups and smaller groups. The scenery will blow you away! The kitchen even contains every bit of equipment you could possibly desire. I look forward to going to the Cottages again

This place has it all! Stunningly romantic for couples and so exciting and fun packed for kids, the ‘help yourself’ veggie garden and egg collecting was a real treat, the wildlife and farm animals were simple back to nature entertainment. The service is impeccable and the welcoming friendly host a refreshing change, nothing was too much trouble. If you are looking for a beautiful relaxing break on the coast, hidden in the valley and surrounded by incredible nature and good old fashioned service, then this is the place for you. Thank you for a memorable and well needed break for our family.

We stayed at the farmhouse at Johanna Seaside Cottages, and had the most wonderful, and relaxed holiday. Our two dogs absolutely loved the paddocks, seaside walks, and watching the cows and hens. The fresh eggs and produce were a welcome surprise, as was having a heated pool on your doorstep. So close to the Otways, and stunning beaches and hilltop walk. Even the cooler, blustery days were perfect for tramping about the paddocks and for cooking delicious fresh meals beside the open fire!

#18 - Posted by Kathy Russell on the: 09/16/2009 at 20:24

What a great place! The accommodation was well appointed clean & comfortable with great views of the ocean and a wonderful fenced in area for our dog to run around. This kids loved the indoor pool, collecting eggs from the chook house, and seeing the calves that were only a few weeks old. We’ll definately be back!

#19 - Posted by Tori McGregor on the: 09/17/2009 at 20:10

Heaven…pure heaven!!! And thank you for growing such amazing fruits and vege’s and allowing your guests to share in the home grown delights – what fabulous fun picking and eating fresh organic produce – AMAZING! I was inspired and now have my own little patch of treats growing!!

#20 - Posted by Libby Green on the: 09/17/2009 at 20:20

Although usually nothing less than a 5 star resort would do, Joy and her lovely team at Johanna brought us back togther as a family with the children collecting eggs fresh every morning, and vegies for dinner later in the day, home cooking because the glorious wooden table demanded we cook meals to share. The beach just a short stroll away with our dog Leroy as well looked after as we were with his own bedding and fenced area – the indoor pool and beautiful big beds with clean fresh linen, massages in your own cottages just like a 5 star hotel but served with love and affection. We love Johanna seaside but telling everyone about it is just making it so hard for us to get back to you Joy and Sheree and all the team. Thanks for some of our best holiday memories.

I have stayed at Johanna Seaside Cottages twice with a group of mum’s on a ‘Womens Walking Weekend’. Both times have been a wonderful experience and the girls will be returning for a third visit next month! The service has always been outstanding and the accomodation is very comfortable. A fantastic location and the pool is a wonderful way to relax those tired muscles after a long day out walking. I thoroughly recommend it!

Hello Joy,

We were sorry to have misseed you when we left on Saturday because we didn't have a chance to thank you for your wonderful hospitality and let you know how much we enjoyed our week at the Farmhouse.

I think I can speak for all the girls when I say that we finished the week feeling a great sense of achievment, relaxed and refreshed (although a little weary...). I think most of us had a quiet day on Sunday!

You certainly live in a delightful part of the world and we feel very lucky to have experienced all that the area has to offer. The Farmhouse proved to be perfect for us and many happy meals were enjoyed around that lovely kitchen table. We especially enjoyed being able to stroll out to the vegetable garden for ingredients to enhance our meals!

Thank again for all your help, advice and assistance with food orders etc. Much appreciated.

Kind regards
Lisa & Co
