This is a gorgeous place to stay! It’s located close to the Victoria airport and Sydney or Victoria. I stayed here at both the beginning and end of my trip to Victoria. The owners went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They were very adaptable when I experienced both flight delays and very early flight times. The rooms are beautiful, beds are comfortable and the owners provide everything to make it a positive experience. The breakfast was one of the best that I’ve ever had! Thank you to the hosts/owners for making me feel right at home!

Beautiful suite with everything you could possibly need or want. Fully functioning kitchen, separate bedroom with most comfortable bed, and lots of couches to relax on. Lots of special touches such as cozy blankets to curl up with. Karey very friendly and welcoming. Provided us with the name of a local restaurant which had great food. And the homemade, hot muffins in the morning (before our flight) were fabulous. The airport about 5 minutes away which was another definite perk. Highly recommend staying here.

The spacious suite was very comfortable and well-appointed with full kitchen, patio, two large bedrooms, dining room, sitting room. Everything was tasteful and in good order. The host provided a home-cooked waffles, muffins, or scones each day, even though we did not expect breakfast. Very friendly atmosphere with two large poodles.

A small suggestion: provide paved access. The graveled path to the suite is rather long to carry luggage, and it is difficult to wheel a suitcase over the stones. This becomes an issue for seniors. Even the two steps with no handrail was a drawback, and I had to go over the lawn to avoid climbing stairs.

Our time at Cole's Bay Vacation Retreat was very short, but exceeded our expectations. From the time of booking, until checking out, we were made to feel welcome and comfortable. We will definitely be back for future trips to the area. Thank you so much for ensuring that our dietary needs were taken care of! And! Thanks for introducing us to Tigger and Wally!!

Everything: the location walking distance from the beach, in a rural environment; a lovely garden; friendly dogs; outdoor relaxing space; interesting and safe gate locks; and interesting flowers and plants. Indoors every small detail was attended to. The interior decoration is stunning! The home made baked items served in the morning was delicious and a real treat!

Nothing.

A large ensuite bedroom attached to but separate from the main house. Separate entrance in rural setting but easy to get to and parking spacious. Near local golf course and bay beach. Hosts very friendly and will prepare and deliver breakfast to your liking - I just ate in the room. Fridge and coffee facilities in room.

Nothing

Breakfast was brilliant, Croissants the best ever. Hosts went out of there way to help us. Location a bit remote if you did not have a car and they took us many miles in there car to our destinations

Because of location and no car, access to restaurants within walking distance not possible,Taxi service left a lot to be desired.

Wow! Wow! Wow! This is truly a retreat. The garden is beautifully kept and the suite we stayed in immaculate. Every little detail has been thought of and Karey and Howie have created a delightful, relaxing, and most inviting accommodation. We were even treated to a culinary surprise each morning.

Property owner was warm & welcoming. We enjoyed our cottage. It felt like home away from home. Her restaurant recommendations were perfect. The freshly baked breakfast items were scrumptious each morning.

Nothing!

The best thing about this place is the host. She is so thoughtful and considerate and tries to think of everything to make your stay better. She bakes fresh croissants for you in the morning and brings them to your room if you do the breakfast option! In addition to an absolutely brilliant breakfast all around. This is one of the nicest country stays we've ever had.

Nothing. If someone wanted quick (under 20 minutes) and easy access to Victoria they would be frustrated because it's not in Victoria. But that's really just a matter of looking at a map. This is a wonderful stay.
