GONE SURFIN - Great Ocean Road! Unstoppable Ocean Views! Best of Otways!

Gone Surfin is located on a highest point on the Great Ocean Road between Lavers Hill and Yuulong. It is a center of Otways, ideal to relax and explore the region, but being in total seclusion on over 2 acres of manicured lawns and gardens with magnificent views of Bass Strait, Johanna Beach and across the Otway Ranges.

The house consists of large open plan living area with fire place, fully equipped kitchen and separate dining room.
Gone Surfin’ is also a testament to the owners collection of beautiful artwork and furnishings which complement the surroundings.
Cook up a feast in the very well equipped kitchen, or enjoy a BBQ out on one of the three decks. Creating an amazing ambiance, around the statement central fireplace is the ideal place to be in the depths of Winter. You could simply cocoon here all weekend on the couch, enjoying the full Foxtel package of movies and sports channels available.

The house provides 3 bedrooms and the creature comforts of electric blankets and bedroom heaters for the winter and reverse cycle air-conditioning to keep you cool throughout in the warmer months. There is one central bathroom, and a separate laundry.

Amazing view, cosy wood fire
Our family (5 people over 3 generations) had a relaxed and comfortable stay in this lovely property. On the plus side: the gardens are extensive, great for kids and dogs to roam in. The kitchen is well set up with a good coffee machine and everything you need to make your own meals. Great fireplace in the centre of the main living area - we had three fires even in the middle of Summer (the evenings can get cool.) And the view is the best of all - a sweeping vista down to the sea that's always slowly changing. We saw beautiful clear blue skies and seas on some days, and also misty mornings where visibility was down to 200m or so. Things to consider: there's only one bathroom and toilet - we made this work but occasionally there was a bit of a queue, eg for bed preparations. And also, we found the seating arrangements slightly odd - the sofa's in an awkward place to comfortable watch the (very big) TV - so we ended up moving chairs in front of the TV to watch the Australian Open. And while the view's fabulous, there aren't many places to comfortably enjoy it from (a hedge grows along most of the front balcony at about chest height). From inside the house, you need to be standing at one of the windows to see the view, which felt like a waste/pity. These quibbles aside, we had a great stay and enjoyed the easy access to Melba Falls (just around the corner).

Beautiful vista of nature and wildlife
We loved the central location to explore the Great Ocean Road. Being in the hills was nice. Please note that the closest town is small with one general store with coffee shop and one nice restaurant. So planning most meals while driving is best for this location. House was roomy.
