Property Details

Blue Johanna Cottages are just off the Great Ocean Road, 6kms south of Lavers Hill, at Johanna Heights and are rated 4 stars by AAA Tourism. 2 self-contained cottages and 2 in-house suites are set on 12 acres of sheer paradise. Rolling hills, deep ferny gullies, beautiful cottage gardens & lawns, all overlook the Johanna Hills, farmland and Southern Ocean.

Cove and Fern Cottages are from the pages of a fairytale. They are very cosy and romantic, featuring polished timber & Cathedral ceilings, Attic Windows, Wood Fires, Large Corner Spas, Queen beds, Air Conditioning and breathtaking views across our gardens, the Johanna Hills and across the ocean towards Cape Otway.

Each cottage has kitchen facilities including a microwave, electric frypan & cooking equipment, TV, Satellite, DVD, Video and Stereo. Due to the Otway Ranges we don’t have normal television reception, however we have Austar as well as a large selection of videos at reception that may be borrowed free of charge. All linen, soft fluffy towels, homemade aromatherapy soaps, spa gels, fresh flowers, candles, a selection of Twinings Teas, Instant & Plunger Coffee and a continental breakfast basket on the first morning are included.

The cottages are duplex style, yet due to their unique design one cannot be seen from the other. Cove Cottage is to the left of the building and is open-plan, studio style living offering lots of natural light. Fern Cottage is to the right with an Attic bedroom offering views over a ferny gully & ocean. A wide deck runs along the front and side of each cottage with outdoor furniture & BBQ and leads to a paved courtyard. Cottage arrival is anytime from 4pm and departure is by 11am.

Our In-house suites are quite different from most B&Bs as there are no shared facilities between them. Each suite has its own entry from a guests verandah and features a Queen sized bed, linen & towels, TV, Video, Stereo, Couch, Breakfast making facilities including a Small fridge & Microwave, Twinings Teas, Instant & Plunger Coffee, Fresh Flowers, Homemade aromatherapy soap, Spa Gel and Candles.

Our Spa Suite features a dining/breakfast room, bedroom with couch, TV & Video and an ensuite with a large corner Spa, shower, toilet and vanity. In-house arrival is anytime from 3pm and departure is by 10am. For evening meals there is a large gas BBQ with wok burner on the verandah, otherwise we highly recommend the Lavers Hill Tavern which is a 5 minute drive away. Lavers Hill also has a bakery, tearooms and a roadhouse.

A professional in-house massage service in the privacy of your own accommodation is available by prior arrangement. A freshly prepared basket of seasonal fruits, cheeses & Australian sparkling wine OR a seasonal seafood platter can be prepared and delivered to your cottage, however we do need at least 7 days notice.
