Have had other people mention to me how beautifl the accommodation is as I own accommodation myself.
Boomerangs offer stunning views and everything you want in a nice weekend retreat. Will definately visit again!
We have stayed there on three different occasions, each time has presented another experience. The accommodation is first class, with beautiful views down the valley to the sea. A great base from which you can explore the rest of the Great Ocean Road.The hosts Mark and Roz are very professional, friendly, and helpful, with nothing left to chance.
A great place to relax and forget about the rest of the world.
A great weekend getaway, the mrs loved it. The sunset from our balcony was amazing. Very clean cosy cottages and great management.
The property provided a high level of accomodation with stunning Johanna Valley and Southern Ocean Views. Set in the foothills of the Otway Rangers, was a pleasure to stay at property with friend hosts.
A wonderful peaceful location with pumping surf nearby
Fantastic place to get away for the weekend. Only a short drive down the highway from Melbourne, this was a wonderful peaceful retreat.
I have not stayed anywhere better along the Great Ocean Road. Johanna is a special place.

We stayed at the Sea Valley Cottages and absolutely loved it, beautiful cottage with amazing views, we were lucky enough to have dinner with 6 beautiful King Parrots. Would highly recommend this to anyone on a budget that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day city living.
Simply brilliant!!!!
Wonderful place to stay, great ambiance. We went in winter, and it was so lovely to curl up in front of the fire with a game or dvd! Definitely one of the best places I’ve ever been.
Beautiful Holiday Park , Quiet peaceful , plently of surf ,sun and fishing. Close to all the sites along the Great Ocean Road love the area

A truly special place to spend time with that truly special person in your life.
A magical place to stay!!
Fabulously designed bungalows that provide a fantastic view of the ocean by way of floor to ceiling windows. A complete retreat that thinks of everything and has the most thoughtful and yet discreet hosts.
A lot of love has gone in to creating this amazing place. Boomerang is the right name – you just want to go back again and again for more.
Fantastic accommodation which we enjoyed as a family. Terrific location as a base to see many things along the Great Ocean Road, and, inland as well. Have recommended The Boomerangs to anyone who asks about accommodation in that area.
A special place to get away and relax in a beautiful environment.
A great location!
Beautiful, comfortable cabins and glorious views twenty-four hours a day due to the remarkable array of stars at night – and Roz and Mark are remarkable stars by day.
Fantastic location, setting and cabins. Very comfortable cabins with everything you need to relax and enjoy your stay. Would highly recommend it.
what better way to start a great holiday on the Great Ocean Road than a delightful stay at the Boomerangs !
Beautiful and quiet place. Great stop on the way to be able to walk or drive the great ocean road without rushing. Warm welcoming. Just enjoy, kick back and relax.
Johanna valley-magnificent;remote;solitude;the peace and quiet
This is a place we have returned to many times without disappointment. Highly recommended.
I will never forget the view from The Boomerangs. Johanna Beach is a beautiful, dramatic location rain or shine. There is simply no better place to stay along the Great Ocean Rd.
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely.
We have recommended The Boomerangs to many of our friends in England. They all were unanimous that it was a great place to stay.
The Boomerangs lives up to it’s name -memories of a wonderful place to stay just keep on coming back. We will be back!
homely and conducive too all
A very warm welcome. Great views, very comfortable accommodation. A delightful holiday. Can’t wait to go back.
slow down life goes too fast -enjoy the views, the wine and the quietness
Apart from the amazing views, everything is there that you could possibly want. Right down to the sekateers (?) to be able to pick some fresh flowers for your cabin. If you forgot to pack something don’t worry! It’ll be in the cabin! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our hosts were lovely people too.
Can’t wait to chill out with my husband for a romantic weekend to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary at the Boomerangs.
What can I say?? There are no words to describe the magical experience when you stay at the Boomerangs…You MUST experience it!! Watching the sun setting as you kick back on the balcony with a glass of wine looking over the fields to the ocean…I’m on my way!
Breath taking views & tranquil location. Thouroughly enjoyed my stay.
The attractive and well-equipped cabins themselves, the glorious setting, and the most welcoming hosts, Roz and Mark, are all that any traveller or holiday-maker could desire.
We really enjoyed our time at The Boomerangs. It was a lovely peaceful holiday and we would recommend this holiday destination to anyone. Beatifully presented accommodation, fantastic views especially at night. Very peaceful and relaxing,
A magical getaway and a slice of heaven to escape to from the hustle and bustle of hectic city life. A place where you could stop and smell the flowers and appreciate mother nature in all her glory. The views of the ocean are breathtaking and the hospitality of our hosts second to none. A truly home away from home and we will be back again and again.
A most enjoyable stay along the Great Ocean Road. Just beautiful views.

boomerangs is the best
Its all been said, Great host, Great place
As owners of a luxury B&B in the Hills we have personally stayed at the Boomerangs and found the experience to be 5 star.
A terrific experience for ramantics and families
A stunning place for the perfect Getaway run by professional, warm and friendly operators.
It’s all about hospitality now isnt it? You almost feel like an old friend when you arrive. And the accommodation speaks for itself.
What a great location to experience the Great Southern Ocean and all it has to offer
Beautiful view, beautiful peace – all you need to refresh yourself.
Thanks for a fabulus stay! Gorgeous location
Fantastic place to stay in a truely magnificent part of the world!
Congratulations in presenting a delightful homestay property in a glorius location.
The most fantastic view on the Great Ocean Road! After hiking for a weekend along part of the coastal track, we were in bliss landing here. Spa, great hosts… what more could you want!
Outstanding!!!!!!!
No more need to be said.
My partner and I spent the most relaxing holiday we have experienced in many years, at The Boomerangs. One of the most enjoyable aspects was the tranquility and beauty of the area. We really enjoyed ourselves and will forward to returning.

What a great place to unwind on the Great Ocean Road
Absolutely marvellous!! what a view! and the hosts! what can I say??
Outstanding!
What can I say, lovely place, beautiful surroundings and the friendliest of staff. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing getaway.
Excellent accommodation with wonderful views and landscape.
A wonderful relaxing atmosphere.
Mark & Roz are absolutely fantastic and very welcoming hosts. If your looking for a beautiful weekend away, the Boomerangs is a fabulous place to stay. The views and landscape alone is just stunning!!!
Mark & Roz are great hosts – it is a terrific part of the world to escape to!!!
Beautiful veiws, great accommodation, great host. The only problem is that they are Geelong supporters and they’ll be in a bad mood on Sunday!!!!
GO THE SAINTS
Beautiful place for a relaxing time
10 out of 10!!
Stunningly unique accommodation minutes from the Great Southern Ocean with breath-taking views of the rolling Victorian countryside by day and amazing star-lit skies by night. You will find solitude and tranquility here in equal measure as you contemplate the awesome power of nature around you.
Boomerangs is a lovely relaxing place to stay, beautiful view and great hosts. Highly recommend it .
The boomerangs accommodation with his friendly and helpful people was an excellent place to stay.
I really enjoyed meeting the hosts, they provided a warm and friendly environment. Their gardener is superb. Their cabins over look Johanna beach with all it’s wildness and splender. It is an easy drive to the beach for a walk and close to Apollo Bay. I would give it five out of five; top spot on the Great Ocean Road drive.
Stunning 4 days last winter… Restore your soul! A beautiful stay.
Beautiful surroundings, cosy, comfortable cabin. Very well catered for.
Great expansive views towards the sea from inside the light, spacious living area. Pretty honey eaters flitting over the balcony which is skirted by native flora. Easy drive to the beach. A rainy micro climate which I found soothing. K
Although I haven’t stayed here myself, I have given guests who I couldn’t assist at our property in Anglesea, Anglesea Heights Apts the contact to follow up. From all accounts very positive reports and feed back to me with thanks.
Fantastic place enjoyed every moment
Beautiful views from large picture windows, very relaxing warm, cosy, comfortable and clean, very enjoyable stay.
A truly amazing place! We had such a great time in the cottage. Highly recommended.
Upon arriving at Boomerangs we were simply blown away by the beauty and style of the cottages and homestead. Mark greeted us with a smile and we knew we could settle in and enjoy all that the cottages and surrounds had to offer. With 2 Overseas guests in tow my husband and I were keen to impress them with all that Victoria has to offer and they left having fallen in love with both Johanna and Boomerangs. They now say that NSW is the movie but Victoria is the book! Thanks to the Boomerangs, I would recommend it to anyone.
my husband and i are booked to stay in november… we are so looking forward to staying in such unusual and creative accommodation..
our booking conversations were so helpful and our hosts could not have been more obliging
roll on november
Love the Australian theme, the gardens are lovely, situated in a beautiful spot close to the beach, sunset at Johanna beach is just magnificent.
Superb accommodation – well appointed, clean and comfortable with great views towards the Johanna Beach area. Each boomerang shaped cottage is very private and has a native garden with bird attracting plants. A great base just to relax or to enjoy a holiday in the Otways or to travel the Great Ocean Road.
One of the most peaceful and relaxing holidays we have had in years – and the chance to go to Opera in the Otways was a delight.
Lovely place and View !
Great place to cruise the coast from, leave the kids at home & pack the Harley. Ticks all the boxes.
The Boomerangs is located in a nice secluded area, surrounded by great views of both the countryside and seafront. Great for a nice relaxing break and if you feel like eating out, it’s just a short drive to the local pub where you’ll find good food and a friendly, welcoming environment.
You could travel a long way to find something better than this!
We had a wonderful stay at the Boomerangs in March of 2007. We spent several days enjoying the area around Johanna and the Boomerangs made a terrific home base. The accomodations were spacious, modern and delightfully
“different”. Being from the US the Boomerang motif was very compelling. The owners were gracious, welcoming and helpful in planning our daily excursions.
I love the boomerangs, for its originality, comfort, views, designs, cleanliness and price. We also really enjoy the owners. We strongly recomend the Boomerang cottages to all our friends and family.Keep p the good work and good luck.
We had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of staying at the Boomerangs back in March of 2005. We can not begin to explain the stunning beauty of the cottage/house/dream that we stayed in, from the spectacular view of the ocean to the beautiful, delightful gardens, to the designer styling of the unit and hospitality of the owners we were truly impressed. Spending over 20 hours in the air alone, not including layovers to travel Down Under from Boston, was very tiring and stressful to say the least, but the incredible journey through your wonderful country and staying at your amazing resort was well worth it to say the least. Hope you win it ALL, you deserve it!!!!!!!!!! With best wishes, Julie & Dennis p.s. Looking forward to a return trip, we tell everyone about the Boomerangs!!
great views great hosts romatic accomadation
We spent our anniversary there. Agreat place for time out and reconnect. Just take your favourite drinks (a good red by the open fire) some nice tucker and enjoy!!!
My partner and i had the most wonderful romantic getaway we have had in a long time down here. If your looking for relaxation, quietness, tranquility, friendliness, alone time, beaches and peacefullness, then what better way to do this than at The Boomerangs. I will highly recomend this to anyone wishing for a getaway of a lifetime. Enjoy the scenery everyone, its OUTSTANDING!!
Best place Ive stayed at in Victoria!
The boomerangs and the scenery gives you a feeling of excitment.
Wonderfully tranquil. A true Aus experience!
well designed and great hospitality.
i thoroughly enjoy staying there!
The Boomerangs was fantastic. We needed a much deserved getaway from work and the kids. It was a lovely place to spend our Anniversary. We hope to get back there again one day.
My partner and I spent a most relaxing week at The Boomerangs. The tranquillity, scenery, and the overall ambiance, made for a great holiday.

What could be better than the picturesque scenery of the Great Ocean Road and wonderful accommodation
Have not yet stayed there but every one who has stayed has nothing but nice things to say on them!
beautiful and amazing!
Wonderful holiday! Wish I was there now……
Great Place. Will definitely come back!
I found the Boomerangs a wonderful & romantic getaway spot. My wife and I finally got to get away from the kids and we couldn’t recommend it more, tranquil, picturesque and Mark 7 Roz the hosts were wonderful and took care of our every need 10 out of 10.
A great place to stay.
Mark & Roz are terri
We really enjoyed our time at the Boomerangs. A great base to explore the local district, very comfortably appointed, especially to return to after a days adventures in the cool & rain. The dog was really nice too!
Perfect retreat to explore the Great Ocean Road and surrounding areas of Victoria.
Our lasting memory will be the peace and tranquility sitting outside our chalet, one of the quietest places we have ever stayed at around the globe.
The accommodation is superb. Near to the Otways with its beautiful national parks as well as the Great Ocean road with its stunning views of the Apostles, its location offers plenty of possibilities that keeps you going for days. When you come home exhausted from the walks or the drives a great spa bath, the wood burner and the great views refill your batteries in no time.
After an active weekend of walking, driving and resting at the Boomerangs we felt completely refreshed, ready to tackle anything that would come our way (till the next break). Very much recommended.
Ggreat place to stay in fantastic location.
Away from the comfort of The Boomerangs you can find total wilderness and the native animals and birds that go with that. One of the best sensations was dozing after a superb meal at the nearby restaurant and listening to the surf.
we loved the peacefullness & beautiful bush surroundings.very relaxing and great hosts
Came here for our honeymoon, fantastic location and accommodation. Roz and Mark were excellent hosts. We will definitely return one day!
one of the most beautiful places in victoria.
Saw whales on the beach the other day and there was no-one else on the beach! Hope not too many people find out just how beautiful it is down here. The accommodation? Couldn’t ask for more!
Great getaway for the family.
Fantastic place! Wish to be there sometime…
If you are looking for the perfect holiday spot, look no further. The Boomerangs is everything that you imagine – plus more!
The most relaxing Oz break we’ve had in ages! Close enough to home but far enough away to feel we were in a piece of heaven! Located in a fabulous part of our state, we experienced gorgeous lush gardens, magnificent sea views and walks, country life with the neighborhood cows, and then the accommodation!!! Attention to detail in every way, we felt we could live there! The personal touches throughout the cabin were really appreciated! AND our hosts made sure we had everything we needed! We’ll be back and have been happy to recommend the Boomerangs to our friends!
The Boomerang cottage provided the perfect backdrop to a holiday exploring the beautiful Great Ocean Road and Otway region. We love places that avoid all the fussiness that is exemplified by ornaments and chintz, so the stylish Boomerang buildings, the stunning gardens, the privacy, the view (let’s not forget the view!) and the easy proximity of so many varied landscapes was a symphony of pleasure.
We LOVED our stay at the Boomerangs. Everything about it was exactly what we had hoped for. Especially the log fires !
A wonderful and friendly accommodation that I would highly reccommend
great please. we have been there 15 times, and we will come for more. my family like the view and the peace around it. the staff is great and very homely.
“THE Ravalia’s”
We had the most wonderful stay at Boomerangs. Sceduled, but close to many wonderful experiences. The accommodation exceeded our expectations and provided a very relaxing and enjoying stay.
Great place in a Great location with Great Hosts!
What a wonderful stay, our hosts Mark & Roz provided the best service and professional hospitality. The Johanna valley would one the most beautiful place we have stayed.
The Boomerangs is simply one of the most beautiful and calmest places ever to spend some relaxing days. From the hosts, the architecture of the appartments, the view in the morning and the surroundings, the place leaves nothing to wish for. We´d always come back again!
MARK & ROZ ARE GREAT HOSTS.OUR THREE CHILDREN THOROUGLY ENJOYED THE RALAXED ATMOSHERE AND THE VIEWS OF THE STARS THROUGH THE FLOOR TO CEILING WINDOWS OF THE BOOMERANG CABINS.
MY FAMILY HAD A RELAXING & ENJOYABLE STAY AND WILL DEFINETLY RETURN VERY SOON.
A great part of Victoria, and a warm friendly place to just relax and unwind. The views are fantastic and the hosts, Mark and Roz were terrific.
Beautiful part of Victoria, and unique accommodation in the shape of a boomerang. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks to our hosts Mark & Roz
A special place in the Otways that was central to all we wanted to see and do
We used our cottage as our base to explore the Ottways and the Great Ocean Road. A lovely lovely place to stay. Cottages have all you need, with amazing views and close to Johanna Beach. Would stay again.
The cottage was peaceful and quiet and had great views. A great place to unwind and enjoy mother nature.
It was fantastic, the views spectacular and the peace and quiet was fantastic. Special first weekend away with my now wife…
From the moment we got there we were treated like special guests. Nothing was an issue and the accommodation had all that we needed – including a visit from some very friendly Blue Wrens… Magnificent scenery in a beautiful peaceful part of Victoria. Would highly recommend it as a special spot to go.
You can expect a warm welcome that is always attributed to the Marks Family.
Had a very lovely stay on our way along the Great Ocean Road toward Adelaide. Met our high expectations, great views in the area.
Great accommodation set in a stunning setting.
A real bonus was the sky at night, the stars were stunning.
Ros & Mark are great hosts and make you feel just like family.
Peace, tranquility, spectacular views, magnificent countryside and superb hospitality! What more could you want?
Beautiful accommodation in such glorious surroundings! Mark and Roz are such wonderful warm people that you can’t help but want to come back again. See you soon! xx
Absolutely Fabulous place. Our group booked the entire place.Perfect for our base while walking the Great Ocean Road Trail
The bomerangs are all time not only are the views amazing but the hosts are epic. This is my favorite getaway in the world and can’t wait to get back there again.
I hae visited the Boomerang accommodation and I have found Roz and Mark both friendly and professional. They give great value and it is a beautiful place to stay.
If you are looking for the perfect escape, don’t drive past the Boomerangs. The ocean and hinterland views are incredible and you are on the doorstep of all the beauty and charm of ‘The Otways’. Mark and Roz are fantastic hosts, and their love of this place is reflected in the 3 cottages and superb native gardens.
Quit, Peaceful, relaxing and invicorating
Prestine accomodtion placed amongst magnificent surroundings, with perfect large windows to appreciate the serene views. Perfectly located to be close to everything, yet ‘off-road’ enough to feel like you’re in the ‘middle of no-where’. Clean, beautiful fittings and warm hosts.The perfect place to escape to and come home feeling well rested.
Great location, amazing views of landscape by day and stars by night, everything clean and neat and tidy, good provisions, lovely garden, hosts very helpful but never intrusive, not cheap but great value, good base to visit surrounding areas (quietly secluded yet close to main roads).
The most perfect and Australian stay in a perfect holyday!
A gorgeous spot to stay whatever the weather. Close to beaches, activities, the Otway Fly, the Boomerangs is a very well-appointed place to exlore the area from. Beautiful ocean views when it’s fine, cosy log fire when its not!
GORGEOUS accomodations & very friendly & helpful staff. I would definitely reccomend the boomerangs to everyone!
Our family had one of the best vacation at Boomerangs. The ocean view, rolling hills, lovely accomodation and lovely host made it so memorable.
We had a romantic, relaxing weekend away at the Boomerangs. Great location, well appointed cabin, loved it….. and will return!
unbelievable views, they even allowed me to have my young kids there. I just loved the place, looking forward to coming back very soon!
when I bring my international friends down to the great ocean road I always stay at the boomerangs this is the accomidation they alwayas remember a great half way place and I can also take my friends to the glow worms ” Malbagully” at night and to walk along the beach throughout the mornings
Margaret and I stayed for four nights in July 2007. Living in South-east Asia we wanted a cozy place to enjoy cold, wet weather. And, wow! did we get it! But the log fires kept us cozy, and we were able to while away the days just enjoying the fabulous views and watching the little blue wrens dance around the lawn in front of our cabin. All the facilities you need; stay a day or prefereably much longer. Just bring your own food and wine.
Living where we are we are just sorry that we have not been able to return for more. But we will!
My boyfriend and I stayed for a couple of nights and we had the privacy that we were looking for. We were left to our own selves but had the most warm welcoming when we arrived.
If there are couples, specially, who are looking for utmost privacy…the Boomerangs is the place to be.
My friend and I were most impressed with what Mark and Roz have to offer. Next time we are on the Great Ocean Road, we’ll look forward to savouring the hospitality and views of the Boomerangs.
Warm, friendly and accommodating – Mark and Roz will make sure they can help you in any way they can, as they did for me.
We spent 2 magical nights at The Boomerangs. What an amazing location. The accomodation was fabulous and the whole experience was ohhhh sooo relaxing. Everything was provided, all we had to bring was the wine and our tired stressed bodies to unwind. The inhouse massage certainly helped with destressing as well. It’s a beautiful place in a magnificent part of Australia. Even the drive from Geelong to The Boomerangs was a delight. I’d highly recommend The Boomerangs to anyone and everyone.
The Boomerangs in Johanna is the perfect place to rest and unwind. The cottages are well appointed, very comfortable and have magnificent views of the Southern Ocean and surrounding farm land.
Mark and Roz are the welcoming hosts that ensure everything in the cottages is just right.
We liked Johanna and surrounding area so much we purchased a small property very near to The Boomerangs shortly after our visit. We plan to move permanently to this property in a few years time.
What a lovely place to stay – floor to ceiling windows so that you can enjoy the lush countryside and views of the ocean. Everything you could need is provided – including a lovely open fire for when the need arises – would recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful and serene setting in lovely gardens.
What a beautiful place! The amazing windows make sure you don’t miss any of the view. Great place with everything you’d ever need…..even a super friendly, smart dog who never failed to make me smile!
A beautiful spot where you are surrounded by lush countryside, beautiful rainforest with a deserted beach only a few minutes walk away – and the Great Ocean Road on your doorstep!
The accommodation itself is beautifully designed, hidden in the countryside and using local wood and very environmentally conscious.
There’s no better place to get away from it all.
Loved the Native forest, rolling green hills, spectacular ocean views. Just as advertised!
On holiday to Australia from Dublin Ireland, stopped at the Boomerangs and had a wonderful time. The surroundings are outstanding and the hospitality was second to none. I highly recommend them and I hope to return
A magical place to stay. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Mark and Ros make you feel like family ,which is so rare these days. Wonderful hosts and a superb location. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a weekend you couldn’t choose a more relaxed and romantic location. I’ll definitely be going back.
We voted for the Boomerangs because the Boomerangs make Victoria look good! The accommodation has real class – a cut above the rest and it demonstrates the attention to detail and hospitality that genuinely impresses.
We intended to stay at the Boomerangs for a couple of nights and then move on along the coast, on our way from Melbourne to Adelaide. Instead, we stayed 5 nights and used it as a base to explore the Great Ocean Road. We greatly valued the clean and comfortable accommodations, the proximity to walks along Johanna Beach, the quiet of the area, the clarity of the night sky, and the friendly helpfulness of the hosts. It’s high on our list of places to which we want to return.
We absolutely loved the Boomerangs because of it’s superb location, set in the country and surrounded by the natural beauty of the bush, the wild life, the aroma of the native flora and the ocean. We would love to go back and stay again because the owners Mark & Ros are so friendly and polite and attend to all your needs when required and always make you feel so.. special.
Had a fabulous stay. Clean, welcoming cottages with a thought for everything. Spectacular location with beautiful views and gardens. I can’t wait for the opportunity to go back.
It was peacful, well located in terms of accesing the region and well designed. There was even a dog supplied to throw sticks for. I liked the feel of the cottage with its warm coloured woods and unique shape.
Great place to stay…
From our balcony we saw the most amazing colony of black ibis returning to the large cypress pines at sunset
Lovely , peaceful part of the world. Well furbished and the hosts were as unobtrusive as possible. Everything worked , and was in good clean condition. The garden was amazing.
The cottage I stayed in was lovely with a spectacular view – if only the sunsets were longer! The flowers and surrounding gardens near the cottages are a photographer’s delight.
The owners are fantastic people. They are most welcoming and are very knowledgeable about the area. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and recommend it highly.
Great place, lovely atmosphere. Beautiful accommodation and friendly hosts, and a lovely area to visit – what more could you want!
We are always looking for something a bit different and with enough privacy and comfort to feel relaxed away from the city hustle & bustle. The boomerang design of the units with their floor to ceiling windows, cosy wood interior and attention to detail with Australian design in the led light window and bathroom decor was wonderful. Add to this the lush gardens and beautiful views and even with the rain we had a lovely time getting back from the Ottway Fly and relaxing in front of the fire. We highly recommend it.
We absolutely loved staying at the Boomerang’s. Love Johanna such a beautiful tranquil place to relax and enjoy nature. We had a romantic getaway that when we got back home we announced that we were engaged
Many happy memories there that we’ll always remember. Thank you!!
We stayed at The Boomerangs for several nights while we explored the Great Ocean Road. Once again my trawling of the internet to find a memorable place to stay found a winner that we have recommended to other travelers.
The setting is private and tranquil but close enough for day trips to the touristy destinations along the coast.
Mark and Roz provide a delightful and architecturally interesting retreat that is a home away from home providing everything from biscuits to cereal. It seems Roz has anticipated that little something you will forget to bring with you but can’t do without.
The retro style interiors are extra special as they brought back fond memories of the 1980′s.
One day we will return for another enchanting stay……. we think a cold weather stay would be great so we can stoke up the fire.
Stunning place to stay!
AWESOME DESIGN OF CABINS!
The garden is amazing, i always enjoyed picking some flowers in it!
Hope to go again soon
Great accommodation providing privacy, independence and luxury – definitly would go back.
All the necessities and the most beautiful view anywhere!
I am from NYC and was living in Sydney. When my parents came for a visit to Australia – also from NYC – we drove from Melbourne to the 12 Apostles and stayed at the Boomerangs for a night to break up the drive. It’s a gorgeous, quite and very cozy house. The location is fantastic because it’s a bit off the touristy path and you have access to a stunning beach. We absolutely loved staying there and wish we had more time to spend there. My dad loved it so much, that he made sure to tell everyone about it wherever we stopped to chat about our travels.
Like the name itself, we will come back.
Absolutely stunning in every way. The views of Johanna and the southern ocean are captivating.. Night time is also a treat, couldn’t wait to kick back and enjoy the southern night sky. The architecture is not only unique, but the attention to detail in all aspects of furnishings and finish superb. Would highly recommend the Boomerangs to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in the most beautiful surrounds.
Quite place, quiet time. Best place to stay and break from the daily hassles of the working week.
The Boomerangs is a peaceful and romantic stay. The outlook is gorgeous with a magnificent view. A haven for rest and revitalisation!
Fantastic location and view and a wonderful place to stay. A nice relaxing place which I highly recommend.
A truly unique accommodation experience. Great for that romantic weekend away. Peaceful quiet location, yet easily accessible from the highway. I highly recommend it. Well done Mark and Roz.
Unique accommodation plus a fantastic setting!
Just the kind of place people on a driving holiday are looking for. Friendly, relaxed and an amazing setting. We were recommended this place by some friends, and are happy to pass on this recommendation more widely.
We stayed at the Boomerangs Nov 2006 – our first time in Australia. It was fantastic, would recommend any time; we loved Hannah too. Cabins were well appointed, everything clean, nothing missing for the perect stay. Beautiful views – and the bbq on the veranda perfect.
The Boomerangs was THE place that I took my-now-wife-then-girlfriend before she had to go back to Japan.
You have the beach & the Great Southern Ocean almost at your door step, and are surrounded by the hills and National park.
We absorbed what nature had to offer and felt revitalized.
Enjoyed the time in an open-yet-exclusive cabin.
We arrived at the Boomerangs on a wet and windy night in August, after a long and tiring drive from Robe. We were impressed with the warm welcome from Roz and Mark, and with the comfortable accommodation. We only stayed one night, as we were en route to Melbourne, but we wish we could have stayed longer, as it’s a lovely spot. Roz and Mark sent us on our way the next morning with some very helpful tips about what to see on the way to Melbourne.
Welcoming,relaxing with an ambience of isolation. The starry nights next to an open fire were magical. Add the spa to this mix- very romantic. We loved the locality so close to the Otways, rainforrests and the Great Ocean Road.
The Boomerang cabins are fantastically unique, well appointed and meticulously maintained. (stayed here about 7 years ago, then again just last month, and the cabins are just as clean and comfortable)
Combined with the beatuiful outlook, Winter warming wood fires, great hosts (incuding Hannah the amazing ball retrieving dog!), they offer a brilliant escape from Sydney’s fast paced living, and perfect base for exploring the great variety of attractions in the surrounding region.
We have every intention of visiting again!
The Boomerangs are just perfect. Beautiful surroundings in a peaceful setting. ‘Where the Forest Meets the Sea’………………………………..

Tomoko and I have stayed at the Boomerangs several times and never cease to be impressed by the beauty of the scenery, the quality of accommodation and hospitality of Mark and Roz. Johanna is truly one of the most beautiful locations on the Great Ocean Road for sights of woodland and sea and sounds of birds, and the Boomerang cottages fit perfectly and are well decorated, featured and appointed. We like the place and people so much we bought a block of land nearby and are building our own house! We would wholeheartedly recommend the area for walks on the beach or forest, or just to take it easy in the cottages watching the ceaselessly changing views and wildlife. Wonderful place!
WOW ! Fantastic accomodation with fantastic hosts. A must stay location !
Beautiful place.
The cottages are superb. Quiet and tranquil.
Watching the ocean in the morning while having breakfast on the balcony was a fantastic feeling. We heard only the birds. No city noises, and cars.
I wished that moment had lasted forever.
Thanks.
My Dad had been sick for 12 months so I decided to take mum and dad away for some time out at The Boomerangs, we opted for the wheelchair access cottage and couldn’t have been happier with it. Very relaxing and just what we all needed
We loved the panoramic views of rolling hills down to the ocean while sitting in front of the fire with a glass of red. The kangaroos and echnidas were there every day and we were amazed by all the birds.
The hosts Mark and Roz were attentive to our every need whilst not being intrusive. The accommodation with king bed and warm fires set every night could not have been more cosy. We will definately be coming back next year.
Worth coming all the way from Newcastle (that’s Newcastle upon Tyne, UK!!!).
A gorgeous escape following a hectic runup to a family wedding in Point Lonsdale. The cottages were beautiful and such a peaceful spot. There was a thunderstorm while we stayed and watching the hour long lightning show over the sea is a magical memory.
Serenity,tranquillity and magnificent mystic mountain views extraordinary.Cottages beautiful and unique in design and location.Enjoyed the local wildlife and habitat. Our Hosts friendly,reliable and courteous.Great Ocean Road great drive a Tourist dream.Boomerang Cottages fantastic, we will return.
Thank You
Absolutely beautiul accommodation and setting. Gives you an amazing appreciation for the beautiful surrounds and our beautiful state. Would highly recommend for a few days of recharging and refreshing. Hosts are friendly and attentive without being invasive – dog just as friendly. loved the fire, loved the view – loved everything about it.
Organising a family get together is no easy task. When we contacted Mark & Roz of The Boomerangs, they were more than helpful in assisting us with our plans. Our relatives came from intrastate and were delighted with not only the very comfortable self-contained accommodation, but also the beautiful garden surrounds and views to the magnificent Great Southern Ocean. There is even a cottage with a walk-in shower that was perfect for Great Aunty Pat! Will definitely be back.
Unique paradise, with a taste of Australia – perfect for taking international guests! Friendly hospitality, a must stay!
The perfect place to stay if you wish to traverse The Great Ocean Walk and enjoy a luxurious stay each night. A great view from your accommodation,full cooking facilities,large screen TV, sound system, comfortable bed and, perhaps most importantly, a spa, in which to ease those tired muscles after a hard day’s walk.
How could not enjoy such facilities?
Four of us (myself, husband, Melbourne based son and fiance) loved the Boomerangs. The setting, views, wild parrots, hospitality were excellent. We had a wild storm one night and electric was lost for a few hours but we weathered it with the gas grill for cooking, candles and board games to make it a fun evening.Great jumping off point for all the Great Ocean Drive…and all there is to do in the Otways. Even though it is a ways from Boston, USA, we would gladly return.
I found the cottages to be so restful and quiet. The angle on which they are built means each cottage is separate and private. Just loved the spa – absolutely saturated the bathroom and toilet roll! The cooking facilities are great, the lounge very comfortable. The views are beautiful. Beds great. I want to go back!
Lots to do and see in the area and very close to some beautiful walks and scenery, but the cottages are still vey private.
I found the hosts to be warm, friendly and accepting.
Warm, friendly, comfortable and beautiful – just a few words to describe the cabins and Roz and Mark’s fabulous hospitality. The panoramic views are stunning and the spa is luxurious. The surrounding area holds so much more than the 12 Apostles, such as the rain forests, national parks, waterfalls and Johanna Beach. The Boomerang Cabins make a great base for exploring and relaxing and we will definately be back.
Hannah the dog is almost as welcoming as the hosts – if that’s possible!
We enjoyed a lovely stay at The Bommeranges after our Great ocena road Walk. Roz & Mark were very friendly and halpful in recommending places to visit and enjoy a excellent meal.Discovered the Otwway Brewery. Highly recommended.
Fantastic place, comfortable, clean and simply really beautiful buildings. It was wonderful to watch the stars through the huge windows at night! Of special importance for us was that the accommodation was accessable for a person with a disability which this was and this made our experience all that more enjoyable. Boomerang Cottages provided everything we would need in a holiday destination. Highly recommended.
I have been searching for somewhere beautiful and extra ordinary and i really think i found it here. I wanted luxury but to be comfortable.
Really stunning place to stay – all the little things that you never get at other places were included. Exceptionally friendly owners.
Beautiful, tranquil and an idyllic spot to unwind and find yourself. Views to die for. We could not have picked a better place to escape to.
Thank you both.
We stayed at the Boomerang Cottages in April and had a wonderful time. The great views, peace, and quiet were amazing. We will definitely stay there agin if our travels ever bring us along the Great Ocean Road again. Thanks for the kind hospitality.
Great place – wonderful fittings and facilities, comfortable surrounds, stunning views, deafening silence, and a spectacular view of the stars at night. Such a relaxing stay.
Such a beautiful place. peace and quiet, all the privacy you want. Host are available if you need them, but leave you other wise. A lovely place to find yourself, and to get back to nature. Love it.
We loved the ambiance, view and garden – especially the spa bath!! such luxury.
We thoroughly enjoyed our staty at the boomerangs – we were looking for time out and this was the ideal place to do so. High quality accomodation, peace and quiet, great views and very hospitable hosts. We have no hesitation in recommending the Boomerangs to people looking for top quality accomodation.
Found a gem in the otways called Boomerangs. Well presented,cottages set in gardens to die for & majestic views that seem to go on for ever.You are greeted in the driveway by Hanna who escorts you to the hosts Mark & Ros. And then there is Johanna beach deserted spectacular,windswept ,monstrous surf & ever changing shoreline.Boomerangs a place to be.
We spent a very pleasant few days at Boomerang with an overseas visitor. The cottage was very quiet and comfortable and the views are tranquil and beautiful. Time spent on the deck watching the bird life was very pleasant indeed.
We stayed 2 nights in cold wet winter & used the Boomerangs as a base for local walks around the Lavers Hill district. Accomodation was very comfortable, warm & well equipped for self catering. The views were great through the huge windows and we enjoyed the birdlife in the gardens. Design of the cabins was novel and interesting. Very friendly, no pressure hospitality from Mark & Roz and the gorgeous dog.
Will recommend The Boomerangs to other couples. Would like to return and catch up with the restaurants we missed in the area, or even as a stop on the Great Ocean Walk.
A great place to stay allowing a fantastic escape from the built up environment of the city. The cottages allow privacy which is why I have stayed many times.
Honymooning,…. a mexican girl and an Argentinian guy…..
Great place, pefect stop along the Great Ocean Road…. We loved the quiet atmosphere, fire place and cleanliness…. Would definetly stay again if we go back to that side of the world!
Simply splendid… Idyllic views, serene surroundings, cosy setting, tasteful decor, tranquil seclusion, hospitable host and a friendly dog… what else do you need?
We tremendously enjoyed our stay at Boomerangs.
The location – the tranquility ; the star studded night sky , viewed from within the cottage was breathtaking ; the accomodation 5 star.
The management – most professional and helpful.
We could have stayed for much, much longer.
Nothing missed; simply splendid.
We will be back.
Had a fabulous time at the Boomerangs. The cottage was lovely and nothing too much trouble for our hosts. Great bonus was Hanna (the dog) who happily joined our family for a bit of fun and a cuddle around the Coonarra at night!
We love the place, the style of accommodation, the decor, the friendliness shown from Mark & Roz. The large windows allow for panoramic views of the beautiful countryside. We highly recommend it as a fantastic holiday destination.
Very nice place. Planning our next stay
It was a perfect stay– we enjoyed wine on the deck and watched the sun set… the next morning we watched it rise with a cup of tea and it was a perfect rest along our Great Ocean Road journey
Lovely comfortable accomodation, everything you might want is supplied, even a rechargeable torch and secateurs to pick flowers from the garden! Disabled accomodation is terrific. We stayed 2 nights in winter and enjoyed the stunning views, the warmth, the fire, the drives and the warm and friendly hosts.
Can’t wait to return, fabulous place, excellent hosts, one of the most beautiful spots in Australia.
We had a great five nights at Boomerang in cool weather. It was our base from which we headed off daily on nearby walking tracks. The well designed accom was so comfortable, peaceful and warm, and the view from our windows so soothing, that it was hard to head off each day on the great walks. But wine by the fireside each night on our return was an extra reward for our walking efforts. Hosts were very kind to us. We got our car hopelessly stuck in deep mud some distance from Boomerang and Mark towed us out. We were very thankful for that. Their dog was great fun too!
Boomerang`s @ Johanna`s is the perfect position to be in after 2 days of wonderful driving and National Parks. To break the trip up and romance away with good local wines (suppplied) and great local Ale, the fire burning and lucky enough for us we were treated to a raging thunderstorm at sea.
With all touches and now rested you are a short drive to the Apostles to further blow your mind away.
Stay once at the Boomerangs and you will return again and again – like their namesakes – surrounded by the beauty of the Otways and the wonderful colourful gardens and a gorgeous view of the coast…….
I love coming to this place its fun the atmosphere is tromendece and there is so much to do, there is lovely seanorys and i love going there, and if its for a romantic getaway i vote for it! thumbs up!
I stayed there on a weekend with three guests from 3 different continents (Europe, Asia and South America) and they absolutely loved it. The peace and tranquility of the place was something they weren’t used to and it was one of the best experiences they had while in Australia.
Sitting on the balcony with red wine while watching an electrical storm play out over the ocean in the distance was a highlight. I recommend staying here for anyone.
We stayed in the Boomerangs late 2007 and absolutely loved it. The place is secluded, peaceful and a great get-away! We definitely recommend it to others.
Three boomerang shaped cottages, on the Great Ocean Road near the corner of Red Johanna road. Nice quiete rural setting, floor to ceiling glass in the polished wodden floor lounge overlooking farmland and Johanna beach in the distant. Great for stargazing at night. Well equiped kitchen, spacious spa bath. Not far from Lavers Hill. Ideal for couples who wants a quiete few days.
Stunning views, sounds of the waves crashing against the shore and my hubby. Couldn’t have asked for a better romatic getaway.
What a place. I needed a few days break form the world by myself and Boomerangs was the perfect place. The most amazing views and so quiet. Had everything I needed. I was relaxed in no time. Johanna beach was amazing – perfect for walks along the beach. And the bonus is no mobile phone range. Definitely a place to get away from the world and recharge the batteries. Will definotely be going back again. It is now my holiday place to get away from the world.
A unique, tranquil place to go and just….. relax! Nature is all around you and it feels like Nirvana, heaven.. whatever you might want to call it. A definite yes to staying there anytime of the year! Loved it loved it loved it! One thousand percent!
Stunning.
Stunningly uplifting in all of its moods, Johanna will captivate even the hardest of hearts.
If its solitude you seek, sit and warm your soul by the fire in your cabin.
For the sociable amongst you, share a glass of red with the hosts and your life will never be the same again.
Once she has you, Johanna will never let you go.
Truly unique accommodation in a most beautiful location. Loved all the tasteful “Australiana” artwork, huge australian native gardens, and friendly aussie hosts.
Our favourite place in Australia – wonderful view, lots to do, but also beautiful garden in which to relax.
The cottages are homely and comfortable. The local people are great and there is a great chef at The Bend! We come again and again!
Whatever weather , the ocean views from these cosy cottages are superb.The hosts are most friendly and sociable and nothing is too much trouble.
These premises are beautiful with superlative views of the Great Southern Ocean and Johanna Valley. It was a great place from which to explore a totally unique part of Victoria. The natives are friendly.
A really beautiful, quite cottage surrounded by amazingly beautiful gardens. No need to travel anywhere – just stay and relax and watch the country life go by. Looked after really well by Mark Roz and Hannah. Close to wonderful beaches, great ocean walks, good cefes, restuarants. Planning our next stay. Highly recommended.
Great place to stay. Quiet,clean and hosts make you very welcome. Totally recomend it for honeymooners or the likes. Close to beach and tree walk. I have stayed many times and each time I have gone home thinking WOW.
This was a very beautiful place to stay. The gardens are outstanding. We picked the flowers (This is encouraged). Discovered a great winery Yahoo Creek Wines. 5 star lunch there. Lots to do in the ares.
Beautiful, clean cottages just near Johanna Beach. Quiet, peaceful, plenty of water for a spa so I didn’t feel guilty about using the water. Close to all the sites along the Great Ocean Road.
