We were pretty disappointed in our stay here at Glenaire. The property is stunning, the location gorgeous. We really enjoyed our bush walks with our dogs. However the cabin we stayed in was really in need of a deep clean. Everything that wasn't in daily use was filthy. Blinds mouldy in the bathroom. The fan in the living room and bathroom covered in dust and grime. The windows covered in grime. Everything just really gross and grimy. The record player didn't work (the needle is beyond gone). The bedrooms were pokey and dark (no photos of them on the website my mistake). The beds were really old and just dated. Like there wasn't even a Bluetooth speaker so we could play music. These cabins are gorgeous but they need a lot of love and freshening up to bring them to their full glory. The other thing that's not mentioned is it's totally off grid so whenever you flush the toilet or use the tap in the night there is a loud rattle as the pump turns on. This was really disruptive. For the cost we expected a lot more.

Great location, in need of a deep clean and care

The view was lovely but that’s where the positives end. Inside was basic, worn , fraying furniture that had seen better days. The level of comfort was poor. We booked a 2 bedroom and the main bedroom was uncomfortable( electric cables from blanket) We decided to sleep in 2nd bedroom but there was no linen so we had to strip and remake the bed  This was not cheap and we would not recommend. The place is neglected and seriously needs a refurbishment. The view alone does not warrant the price we paid and we felt rather let down. The pictures advertising the property are very misleading- it is described as a sanctuary, our cottage looked nothing like the picture.

Great view, quite shabby inside- very disappointed

We stayed here for 3 nights in Cape Cottage. Chosen for location to walk the great ocean walk. Property is very nicely located and the wrap round balcony give a lovely view of the valley. Property featured everything in description including a useful washing machine. Property was just at the minimum level of acceptability on cleanliness. Lots of cobwebs, needs a good deep clean, decor is in need of a good repaint. Windows ( given the views) were grubby and screens very dusty. Kitchen cupboards were musty. And kitchen in particular needs a re-do. We are on a 7 week trip, of all accommodation this one disappointed. And was not cheap at aud 350 a night ! All other places proactively asked for a review, Glenaire didnt. Booked directly. With a refresh and better cleaning  operations lots of potential.

Disappointing cottage but great location

Amazing accomodation in the heart of the otways! Go, you will not regret it! We stayed for a few nights in forest cottage and everything was just perfect. We sat out and had a spa overlooking the most stunning views. Will be back soon

Paradise and relaxation!

My best friend and I had a fabulous stay here with our dogs. It was super dog friendly and in a great location with lots of dog friendly things to do nearby.

The cottage was really well set up in terms of the kitchen and the spa on the verandah was great.

Excellent dog friendly accommodation

We stayed here for a long weekend and wish we could of stayed longer. A big spa on the balcony, wood fire that heats the whole two bedroom cottage and centrally located for the Great Ocean Road. Only 30 minutes to Apollo Bay the cottages are close to nature. We went for a walk around the property and spotted two koalas within minutes. The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen and the few items we needed was delivered by our hosts. The welcome gift for my wife and I and the treat for our dog was great.

Beautiful location and pet friendly

Excellent, quiet location directly off the Great Ocean Road.  Cottage perfectly positioned and appointed to take in magnificent views of the valley and the ocean.   Fabulous balcony to relax and enjoy evening drinks.  Brilliant, colourful welcoming committee of crimson rosellas.
Bo was very helpful and offered great advice.
We look forward to returning in the near future to experience the property’s walking track (unfortunately we were rained off this time).

Magical Glenaire Cottages

Blissful time staying in Glenaire Lake Cottage. Wonderful quiet location. Beautiful view of the ocean and also into tall eucalypts. Enjoyed the warmth of the open fire and spa on the deck. Nothing better than sinking into a hot spa on a winter night during the rain. Comfortable and clean. Great hosts. Communication amazing and very helpful with information pre and during our stay. Would love to return. 

Wonderful Winter Escape

Review of Lake Cottage, Glenaire Cottages, Glenaire
19th & 20th June 2020
 
We stayed in this very private delightful, light, warm and well appointed cottage last weekend for two nights, 19th and 20th June. It sits perched on the top of the world in the Otways, with beautiful views across the Aire Valley over to the southern ocean. The outdoor spa on the deck was a treat and the water hot and steamy. Looking up at the starry night sky was wonderful.
Neil and Bo have created a rainforest walk on their property that is long enough to feel like a proper bushwalk, and short enough to do it twice in the weekend!!!! Towering gums and tree ferns in the gullies make this a very special place to stay. A walk down through the paddocks to the Great Ocean Road and beach beyond, as well as the GOW walking trail, is very do-able without even getting in the car!!!
Neil and Bo are lovely hosts. Respectful of privacy and very aware of the CoVid requirements in these difficult times. Thank you to both of you for your responsive hospitality and sharing the beauty of your property.

Beautiful stay

Excellent location, just off the Great Ocean Highway, however it still feels super private.
One of the best views of any cottage I've seen on the Great Ocean Road, you can see across the Point Otway hinterland, but also have a view of the ocean.
Really comfortable cottage, with the outside spa bath a real highlight. Hot water service and water pressure was excellent, and the inside of the cottage feels like it has been recently refurbished.
Particularly perfect for a winter get-away, as the wood fired heater is super effective - don't get carried away during summer! Bo & Neil were thoughtful enough to prepare a ready-to-go fire, and also gave us a courtesy call the day before to ensure we were aware of how the keys worked.
Would recommend to anyone.
