    Clean. Comfortable big beds. Amazing view. Quiet. Short walk around the grounds was beautiful. Attention to detail was very clear.

    Outstanding place on the ocean road, super easy to check in and lovely views. We even spotted the koalas in the back along the pink track walk. Very cozy and warm, the front villas look amazing and we will definitely come back and stay in one of those. We had a complimentary basket of treats which was a lovely welcome, highly recommend staying here. Communication was spot on.

    The privacy location with the majestic ocean . Value for money and close to Philip Island ‘s attraction . The Koala just behind the villa is a plus . Love the Jacuzzi that is facing the ocean. The surprise wedding anniversary gifts and small decor by the hosts really amazing

    Nothing. We loved everything.

    The Chocolate Gannets offer an unforgettable experience at their stunning property. Villa 3 provided a beautiful breakfast hamper, champagne, bath salts, balloons, and a birthday banner for my wife’s special day. With its peaceful ocean views and koalas in the back, it’s the perfect place to stay.

    Don't really have anything to say here.

    House was cozy and clean, with great ocean views right at doorstep. Love the double height ceilings and the fireplace. Kitchen was well organised and rooms were spacious. There was even a jacuzzi tub that looks out to the sea! Host was very warm and helpful (reserved dinner at Graze restaurant for us), and the welcome hamper of wine, chocolate and snacks was thoughtful. Fridge was well stocked and we finished our tray of eggs for breakfast. Location is just off Great Ocean Road and 5 min drive to Apollo Bay. There's a koala sanctuary behind and we managed to spot 2 koalas! We spent 2 nights here but wished we had booked for a longer stay.

    The villa was amazing, so much thought has gone into making the experience a luxurious one. We enjoyed lazy nights on the couch with the fire going, a Spa bath watching the waves roll in and cooked up a delicious breakfast with the hamper provided. Definitely worth the stay, you won’t be disappointed

    It was one of the best properties we stayed in. Nice clean floors, no dirt, heating that actually worked, new structure, lot of power points and extension boards. They even provided multi-port usb charging cables, plenty of storage. Overall very nice so much so we are thinking of buying the property haha.

    Everything! Located just in front of the ocean, equipped with everything you can imagine you could need. Jacuzzi is amazing with unforgettable view. Even that there are 4 villas, we felt like we are alone. Owner is super responsive and thought about every detail! Finding sparkling wine and something for breakfast was the cherry on the cake - and everything local and organic!!!

    There was no cover to sit outside whilst it rained. and we weren't aware it was one of four villas- online it looked like just one villa.

    Exactly how it looked online, great location. Comfortable bed, the spa bath and fire were also great. Lovely breakfast hamper left with everything we needed.
