Central Location

Great house, very well equiped. Comfortable main bed. It is quite a cold house BUT the heating works well. The towels left were small however, we did have access to the linen cupboard (thank you) so we did change one towel. This is a positive made from a tiny negative. All in all the property was great.

Cosy, inviting and super handy location

This is a lovely home to stay in. We received excellent instructions before our stay on check in and other details. Upon arrival there was a lovely sourdough loaf of bread and some local honey and jams greeting us in the kitchen. The book provided for the property had details of where you can buy these delicious local products. The only thing we did not find was information about the internet, however, we were there to relax and not being connected for a few days was wonderful. There may have been details about the wi-fi somewhere, we just didn't find it (perhaps it can be added to the very handy book). The location is within walking distance of Orbost, great cafes and restaurants and 15-20 minutes drive to Marlo, Bushwalks, other scenic routes etc. Perfect stay!!!

Gem in East Gippsland

Our family had a fantastic time in Orbost over the Easter long weekend, and a big part of that was the lovely home where we stayed. Three really comfortable bedrooms, a great kitchen stocked with local goodies, and a beautiful back deck and backyard, perfect for watching the sun set. You can feel the love that has gone into the house. Close to the Orbost shops, also very handy as a base for exploring local attractions. Highlights for us were the beaches at Cape Conran and the Sailors Grave brewery (walking distance from the house). Highly recommended.

Very good.

Great accomodation and top notch communication. We are from Canberra and while most of the population travel to the south coast… We find Orbost and marlo to be a hidden holiday gem on the VIC coast at about 3 hours and 40 minutes away from ACT.

Family enjoyed their stay. House was very comfortable. Nice big bedrooms,lovely garden. Felt like a home away from home. Had everything they needed, the only thing negative was that the Wifi had expired. Would definitely recommend this charming home. Thankyou 😀

Cosy

The house is an older style country home with a wonderful combustion stove for those cold winter days. It does need a make over though as the TV is old and doesn't get all the free to air stations. It also lacks the internet which is a big downer if the weather turns and you end up being inside a lot. Netflix, Prime, or Disney one of those would help a lot. House is clean but you need to remove the personal images of your family which seem to be everywhere . These are our own personal feelings and other people may feel differently. Regards Wayne.

About the host

Hosted by Olive Sage

We are a retired couple (ex teachers) who enjoy travelling and meeting people. Our permanent home is in N E Victoria, the Orbost home is our holiday house.

Why they chose this property

Our daughter, son in law and two grandchildren live in Orbost and as it is a long drive from home for us, we purchased Gordon Street as a base when we visit. We loved the quiet street, the proximity to the Main Street and our daughter’s house. We also like older houses and so this one appealed to us.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy spending time in Orbost and exploring the beautiful countryside and activities East Gippsland has to offer. There are still many new places to explore, beaches to walk, camp spots to discover. Orbost is a friendly town and we feel very welcome here.
