About this property

Riverview Coastal Retreat — Sleeps 6 | Walk to Beach | Great Ocean Road

Wake up to serene river and lake views and fall asleep to the sound of nature right outside your window. This spacious coastal home sleeps up to 6 and puts you right in the heart of one of Australia's most spectacular stretches of coastline — the Great Ocean Road.
Most windows frame stunning views over the river and lake, where swans, pelicans and a wonderful variety of water birds make their home. It's the kind of place where you find yourself just sitting on the verandah watching the world drift by.
Peterborough is one of the GOR's best-kept secrets — a peaceful, unhurried village with a fantastic cliffside golf course, excellent fishing, beautiful beaches and some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in Victoria.
The space
With room for up to 6 guests, there's plenty of space for everyone to relax and unwind. The huge backyard and verandah are perfect for lazy mornings and long evenings outdoors. Everything you need is provided — all linen supplied, fully equipped kitchen, and private parking on site. Fair warning: there's no TV reception, but we've curated a fantastic DVD collection for your cosy nights in!

About the host

Hosted by deb lynch

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Deb! I live in South Australia but my heart is firmly planted on the Great Ocean Road. I discovered Peterborough years ago and fell completely in love with it — the rugged coastline, the wildlife, the peace and quiet. I genuinely believe it's one of the most beautiful places in all of Australia, and nothing makes me happier than sharing it with people who are ready to discover it for themselves.
When I'm not hosting, you'll find me fishing, swimming, snorkelling, boogie boarding, bike riding or pottering in the garden — so I know this part of the world inside out and I'm always happy to point guests towards the best spots that don't make it onto the tourist maps.
I want every guest to feel at home here. If you have any questions before or during your stay, I'm always just a message away. 🎣🌊
