Local attractions

Inverloch is a popular seaside holiday spot, 2 hours’ drive from Melbourne. Conditions for canoeing and water-skiing are excellent and the winds from Bass Strait make sailing and sailboarding ideal. Those keen on surfing have only to make their way around Point Smythe on the isthmus, to the more turbulent waters of Venus Bay.

The calm beaches along Anderson Inlet are ideal for families and relaxation, or a surf beach for the more adventurous holiday maker. Sections of the beach are dog friendly. There’s also fishing, wind surfing, diving and boating opportunities. As a top tourist destination, Inverloch and its surrounds offer plenty of activities, eating options and rainy day fillers. It is only 45 minutes’ drive away from Wilsons Promontory which is the ideal spot for a National park day trip. It’s also close to Phillip Island and the famous penguin parade. Wonderful sights can be appreciated along this route.
For a little exercise why not take the 1.5km Screw Creek Nature Walk. This walk will take you through grasslands and white mangroves. It begins near the foreshore caravan park. There are also several rail trails to enjoy a good cycle, one starting at Wonthaggi that works it's way to Phillip Island and another from Leongatha to Port Welshpool.
Wonthaggi, just 12km west on the Bass Highway, offers all the regional centre shopping options, services and recreation activities you’ll need during your Inverloch stay.
For jazz lovers Inverloch has a festival dedicated to the genre on the Labour Day long weekend. A street parade and plenty of bands will keep you entertained.
Inverloch has great places to eat, 2 hotels, supermarket, bakeries & much more!

Family Holiday
Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at the Cosy Inverloch Beach Cottage. The house was clean, simple and comfortable with a good size outdoor area that our 2 little kids could happily play outside and be safe. The location is perfect to walk into the town, playground and inlet beach which made things so easy. We would definitely come back to stay here, thanks again!

Read the Small Print (linen and towels)
Lovely cosey corttage very centrally located. We had everything we needed except bed sheets and towels. We worked out solutions but wish this was more clearly identified, though it is mentioned in the property description (ignore the Stayz app' which says amentiies include towels, which is incorrect). The beds were comfortable and we slept very well. Gavin was helpful and responsive. Would happily stay here again - recommended.

4 days in for Moto GP
The location was excellent for the reason we were in Victoria. We did find that the house needed some maintenance and there needs to be a deeper clean. I needed to move the draws in one of the bedroom as I dropped something down the back. There was a significant amount of other stuff from earlier people. In general the 3 of us agreed that we were lucky our wives were not with us as they would not have stayed there.

Clean and convenient place in a lovely neighbourhood
Thank you for allowing us to use the cottage. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Only a couple of things prevented me from giving 5 stars. 1) A leaking basin tap. 2) No provision of linen. Thank you. Pal

Unpleasant
Cute little cottage and was clean, but the smell as we entered put us both off immediately and also we did not know that we needed to bring our own linen and towels. We were booked in and paid up for 4 nights. We left after about 1/2 an hour. We let the owner know that we could not stay because of the smell. He offered us some linen at a cost but the linen looked as if it had been in the cupboard for a long time and would not be fresh. We contacted Stayz and explained the above, and asked if it was possible for a refund. They said they would get back to us after speaking to the owner but they never did and the owner said "Good luck with that". Very bad experience.

Basic but comfortable and charming little property, with everything you need. Additional nice touches like a wood fire outside with wood provided. Easy walking distance to the sea and to town and all the festival venues and eateries we wanted to get to. Would definitely stay again!

Hi, charming little house but it had everything we needed. Just one recommendation- pls fix the back sliding door. It gets really stuck and made a lot of noise to get in and out. A bit of a challenge for winter....but thankyou, we had a great time

Gavin and Jenny Dore welcome you to our little home away from home. We live in Vermont South and have 4 children.

Why they chose this property

Inverloch was the family beach destination for me when I grew up in Warragul. After caravanning back there a few years ago I was bitten to find a holiday house.

What makes this property unique

The house was originally a coal miners cottage located at Jumbunna and was carted down the hill by bullocks, along with its sister houses on both sides of this property in 1925.
