Summary: We loved staying at the mud brick cottage. Absolutely gorgeous home and surrounding views of garden and forest. Lots of native birds feeding on the lawn and we spotted a koala walking across the lawn too. There’s no other heating apart from a couple of small oil heaters in the bedrooms and the fireplace. That said, the fireplace when kept going kept the house toasty warm. Overall a very pleasant stay. We really enjoyed it! Some items for improvement: More attention to detail on the dusting of the house overall is required. The interior lights at night were quite dull compared to other holiday homes I’ve visited - would be nice to brighten the bathrooms and lounge fireplace area. Also please check out the microwave as I couldn’t get it work. The dripping tap in the bathtub needs to be fixed.

Summary: We really loved this house for its rustic, old time vibes and artful and architectural elements. While it’s a little old in places it makes up for it with rustic charm. However we stayed in late winter and it was bone cold. Two little inadequate radiators, no amount of firewood was going to break that chill. It really detracted from our stay. No one likes to be bed ridden because of the cold.

Summary: Great base for exploring the area, close enough to town but with a feeling of seclusion. Ideal for young children.

Summary: My partner and I came here with my parents. The location was ideal, a short drive to the main Street in Apollo bay but hidden away in the bush. The property was cozy, full of charm and had everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend. Would highly recommend.

Summary: We loved the look of Walshan House, and chose it for its rustic charm, peaceful and secluded property photos, and description. On arrival, the grounds looked lovely, with the tall trees & the lush green grass surrounds. Entering the home, the room that caught our eyes was the lower step down sunroom area with the large window overlooking the front which was nice to later watch magpies and parakeets & fairy-wrens feed from a bird feeder. The home looked to be very well stocked with your usual amenities, plus extra things to help make our stay more entertained with DVDs, books, a piano and even a sunshade for the beach which came in handy. There is a lot of home decor on the walls which adds to the rustic charm, but on closer look, there are a lot of cobwebs and spider webs in many areas including these items on the walls, especially upstairs. There are no curtains in either bathrooms or on any of the other windows, so if you are used to privacy at night when the lights are on, this may make you feel uncomfortable. Of course the views are lovely without the curtains during the day, but it would be so much better if the window were clean as well. The covers/blankets on the couch downstairs don’t appear to have been washed for some time as they have a dusty smell which gave a family member terrible hay fever and they weren’t able to sit on or near the couches to watch a movie with the family. I think the most disappointing thing for us was on our first night when the temperature dropped; we were really looking forward to lighting up the fireplace, but discovered that the flue was blocked. As a result the smoke had nowhere to go, except for inside the house. So we had to rely on the 2 small radiator heaters to heat such a large home. The next morning we rang management & they were kind enough to bring over more radiator heaters, but we missed out on sitting by the fire. The kitchen could use a dish rack & some tea towels that actually do wipe. Sitting on the upper deck, on the deck chairs provided, was lovely & so peaceful watching the clouds drift by, & listening to the distant waves & bird life. The night sky is magical when the stars & the Milky Way started to sparkle, & that was also a lovely moment to experience together. Overall, we enjoyed our stay together as a family getaway where there were no electronic game distractions. It was nice to spend good quality time, in lovely peaceful surrounds, in a down to earth home.

Summary: My husband, daughter and I spent a lovely week enjoying this holiday home and surrounding sights over New Year. The house is a beautifully solid mud brick and wood home with wonderful windows! Set in a large garden with surrounding gum trees ( with koalas) Recommend a visit. You won’t be disappointed!
