Guests love Arabella Country House for its warm, old?school hospitality, peaceful setting and sweeping views of rolling green paddocks to the ocean. Reviews highlight spotless, spacious rooms with comfy beds, cosy heating and ensuites, some with a spa bath. The guest lounge, elegant country decor, garden full of colourful birds, and little touches like free drinks in the fridge, chocolates, books and kids games make stays feel homely and relaxed. The location is ideal for Great Ocean Road exploring, with the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge a short drive away, plus sightings of kangaroos and cows adding to the charm.
Several reviewers praised Lynne and Neil for being exceptionally friendly, professional and informative, sharing local tips and great conversation. The cooked?to?order breakfast is a consistent favourite, with options like fruit salad, yoghurt, muesli, toast and a hearty hot breakfast beautifully presented in the dining room with ocean views. Other positives mentioned include bottled water and soft drink on arrival, a warm bath, and even the company of Bill the friendly dog.
