About this property

Little Plum Cottage - Apollo Bay

Nestled in the heart of the serene landscapes of Willowshire Cottages, Little Plum Cottage stands as a perfect haven for couples yearning for a peaceful and tranquil escape. The Storybook Cottage is one of three accommodations, located in the rainforest valley of Barham River Road, is a mere eight to ten minutes’ drive from Apollo Bay. Be enchanted by the views of the private lake and grounds and connect with nature in an area of natural beauty known as ‘Paradise’; with its wildlife and pebbled streams, whilst still being able to enjoy all that the Great Ocean Road and its beaches has to offer.
Little Plum Cottage is equipped with all that you need for a magical stay. Enjoy a relaxing spa bath for two before retiring to your king-sized bed made comfortable with crisp white linens and a magnificent view. Alternatively, you may wish to sip a wine while seated on Adirondack chairs on your screened deck overlooking the ornamental lake. Comfortable chairs and a small table are provided in the room so you may enjoy your Nespresso coffee or choose from a selection of teas. A smart television and WIFI offers you all the comforts of home. You may see ducks, king parrots, echidnas, koalas, wallabies and, if you are lucky, glow worms.
Please note that this cottage shares a wall with the neighbouring Plum Tree Cottage. There are no shared facilities between guests, and you have Little Plum Cottage all to yourself. Guests have their own entry door to the cottage; the balcony is separated by a screened gate. There is no access to BBQ facilities at this cottage, this cottage does not have any cooking facilities.

First impressions were what a wonderful and pretty spot overlooking the lake with ducks in, seemed idyllic as did the drive to it. However our peace was shattered through the paper thin walls by the occupant of the adjoined cottage until the early hours. The apartment is nicely furnished inside with a lovely outlook and was very clean throughout although very limited kitchen facilities. There are also some maintenance issues which need to be addressed, the outside needs some TLC, a dripping tap in the bathroom needs to be fixed and most importantly the outside decking is an accident waiting to happen with many loose planks.

Gorgeous stay!
We stayed here over a super rainy couple of days and it was just ideal! Listening to the rain while staying snug in our cottage and read, played board games and watched TV. Our pooch was a little unsure at first but settled in so nicely and loved watching the birds from the balcony

Cottage needs some love
On arrival to Little Plum Cottage, we were greeted by an old and dirty exterior. Inside the cottage was clean except for the dirty windows, mould on the bathroom blinds. The positives of the cottage, the bed was comfortable, plenty of hot water, good heating.
