Summary: We loved staying here - close to the beach, yet secluded and quiet. Loads of bird sounds in the morning, and a lovely verandah to enjoybit from. Kitchen/dining/living is small but plenty for the 4 of us. We'd love to stay again.

Summary: Eric the Red is more of an experience than a house. Being partially built from the eponymous shipwreck, the history of the place is fascinating - Tim's fascination is catching! There is a wealth of information to capture the imagination. As well as this, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the space warms up easily, the shower is hot and strong. The birdlife is abundant, and the privacy of the house in the area is a definite bonus - all we could hear was the sea. Thank you, Tim - it was unforgettable!

Summary: A great escape from city life into nature and quietness. We spent a wonderful 2 days in the nature and enjoyed every moment during our stay. The cottage was very clean and tidy. Tim the owner was very helpful and recommended great activities for kids. We will definitely come back soon

Summary: Loved the quaint cottage, birdlife and quiet neighbourhood. We did not like being told after we had booked that the photographs misrepresented the cottage. A new, second building is built immediately to the rear of the little house. On the Stayz photos this area shows as a lovely garden, but it is now a new building that the owner uses to live and work from. This should have been disclosed upfront and I hope the owner heeds our advice and updates the Stayz photos. The owner was inobtrusive and although causing some early anxiety, this late disclosure did not negatively impact our holiday.

Summary: Tim's house which is in a very quite setting opposite a reserve and has a very cosy cottage feeling about it. The place is well equipped, very comfortable, clean, has a big veranda (equipped with BBQ), is 3 minute walk to the beach and less than 15 minutes walk to the Apollo Bay shopping centre. The neighbours were very friendly and helpful and there was even a resident koala on a tree at the front. Overall, a really great place to unwind. My family is looking forward to visiting again. Thanks. Chris , Miranda and Patricia,

Summary: The house was quite old and did smell a little musty (particularly the wardrobe in master). Overstuffed with too much furniture. Otherwise not too bad. Fire was nice but the book said you have to buy your own wood if you finish the bag they provide. We did see the koala, he was in the tree in the neighbors property.
