HANNA is in charge of customer relations. Everyone wants to take her home. She loves people, especially kids. And I'm afraid she's the only pet we allow on the property.
Great Ocean road Accommodation
The Boomerangs at Johanna: Great Ocean Road accommodation which is quintessentially Australian. Three award winning boomerang shaped cottages offer guests a truly memorable experience. Set within three acres of magical, landscaped gardens they provide guests with sensational, forest, valley and ocean views. Very quiet and very private.
Architecturally designed, the cottages blend with the natural surroundings. Birdlife is prolific and privacy is assured. There is nothing like this in the rest of Australia. This is an accommodation experience a little out of the ordinary. Come down and put your feet up and take in the spectacular views. Do nothing, go for walks on the beach, visit some of our local attractions, have a BBQ, dine out at a local restaurant or have a massage in the comfort of your own cottage. We recommend a stay of at least 2 nights. Anything less will disappoint. The Boomerangs is wheelchair accessible accommodation. Please view our disabled facilities in the photo gallery.
Midway on the great ocean road
Located in the Great Otway National Park and midway along the Great Ocean Road on the Great Ocean Walk, The Boomerangs at Johanna are perfectly positioned to enable customers to take full advantage of all that the Otways and the Great Ocean Road have to offer. The Great Ocean Walk weaves its way along this rugged and beautiful Victorian coastline in Australia for 91 spectacular kilometres. Base yourself at The Boomerangs to explore sections or all of this incredible walk. Recover each evening in luxury accommodation and ready yourself for the following day's activity.
Temperate rainforests, waterfalls, exquisite walks, deserted beaches, the 12 Apostles, the Otway Fly and the Cape Otway Lightstation are all just a short drive away. At home in the cottages - let nature reveal herself to you!
Of course, natural attractions are not all that's on offer down here. There are some great towns nearby which have some fantastic cafes and restaurants and shops of all description.
