Johanna River Farm & Cottages - Book DIrect via our website

My partner and I stayed in the Spa Cottage overlooking the dam and the rolling hills of Johanna Beach. It was a magical stay, the cottage is so comfortable and well furbished with a very functional kitchen and all the extras you could desire.The spa is huge and very relaxing, and the bed has lovely electric blankets.The cottage was extremely clean and tidy when we arrived, you can see that Helen and Julian care a lot about the comfort of holidayers.The area is stunning, the property has its own rainforest gully and river and the animals are wonderful. there is a lovely little garden where guests can pick their own herbs and lemons.For the price, Johanna River Farm provides the best value.

More than our expectations. The farm, the wildlife, the nearby attractions. Everything was beautiful.The cottage is warm, clean, comfortable and includes everything we could wish for. And to top is off our cavoodle is very welcome.

Just what I needed. Beautiful location, welcoming host, warm and inviting accommodation.Dog friendly as well. My pups loved it.

What a gem! 100% on our return list, our children enjoyed exploring the farm and feeding the animals. we were dealt with a pretty impressive storm front that knocked out our power, but the fire place, the balcony, the cottage with a tin roof, the view and a nice bottle of wine made the experience perfection. thank you Helen and Julian for opening your farm and allowing people to enjoy your little piece of heaven

We took 2 cottages for a family of 8 that included a 3 year old. The cottages are warm during this super cold summer. Toilet and showers were great. Big towels. It was also well equipped for self catering/ cooking including a rice cooker (for the Asians in us) we also did a bbq. Green Dino plate is our own.Helen gave us a great farm tour and tips for exploring the local scene. The driveway was a bit long, but it was all part of the charm. There is little or no mobile roaming, but the wifi provided is adequate (but no streaming) All these were well informed by Helen in advance.I will recommend this place to anyone.

Just fantastic place to stay. Super friendly hosts and cosy cabins. Loved the farm and the animals and all the nature and serenity. We went on adventures twice with one of the local dogs (Jagger) and saw so much wildlife. I cannot rate this place highly enough

Lovely owners on a lovely farm.We had the blue gum cabin cottage, which is fully equipped with its own fireplace, kitchenette laundry facilities. Awesome view of the farm from cottage window, with animals grazing right in front of the cottage.Fruits and veg on the farm are all yours to pick, so are the eggs from the chicken/duck coop. The owners will prepare buckets of animal feed and chopped carrots daily, so pop by the office to grab some.

This is the best dog friendly farmstay ever! We came with our beautiful border collie, we spent our time feeding the sheep, llamas, Pickles the donkey and 2 Shetlands ponies, goats, chicken & turkeys.We picked some veggies from the magnificent veggie/herb garden, we got some fresh eggs from the chickens.Thanks to Helen and Julian for their assistance with everything we needed to make this holiday the perfect dog friendly holiday.

We had an excellent 3 night stay with Helen and Julian. Awesome for families, couples or tourists, would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Plenty to do, feed the animals, see the glow worms, check out the waterfalls, enjoy an afternoon wine from your balcony with breathtaking views. Johanna Beach and all tourist attractions are just a short drive away. Great hosts, thanks for having us, we look forward to returning soon.Glen, Sarah, Koby & Cleo

Stayed at Teatree Cottage with my wife and infant son for 4 nights and it was a truely enjoyable stay. My wife and I visited 9 years ago and decided to bring our infant son to revisit the place and Great Ocean Road.The cottage was well equipped with all the cooking utensils and washing tools. The air conditioning also serves as the heater. There is a fire place which uses real fire wood, though you need to know or learn how to start and maintain a fire, which is all part of the fun or charm. And its very effective in drying clothes too.Understood from the owners Helen and Julian that it is actually a sheep farm, so there are lots of sheep in the area around. They were very helpful to our needs. On Day 1 when we were arriving there, we were very late, however Helen helped us to start the fire so as to warm up the cottage first. They also topped up the wood when requried. They also gave suggestions on where we can visit especially when the weather is bad and gave us a tour of the farmThere is not much resturaunts around and the nearest supermarket is in apollo bay. But its a great place to rest and chill out.On the morning of our last day, Helen helped to spot koala and guide us to get views of them.Highly recommended.
