Great Ocean Road Accommodation

The Boomerangs at Johanna

... exclusively for adults


           

March - 1999: New Woman Magazine:
Take the easy option and follow our guide to paradise. One of the 40 best weekend escapes in Australia.

September - 1999: She Magazine:
...a completely different experience ... unobstructed views.

September - 1999: Herald Sun Travel:
Before us, the lush green hills of the Johanna Valley rolled gently down to a point where they met the Southern Ocean along some of Victoria's most rugged coast. There was something hypnotic about gazing on the ocean, and the panoramic views from the verandah of the Boomerang Cabins, on the edge of the Otway Ranges, commanded our attention. Charles Hibbert.

October - 1999: The Age Good Weekend - 52 Weekends Away:
Perhaps I've been a journalist too long, but the cynic in me has a habit of scanning visitors' books for the most inane comments. However, the book in Cabin 3 of Boomerang Cabins...held a little cultural turning point. An Internet address is now an adjective.
Views.com.au one couple had written, and that said it all. By day, you look out over forest in the Otway National Park, sweeping Irish - green paddocks and the sea beyond. By night, you sit inside and scan the heavens for the Southern Cross or the Magellan Clouds. The word cabin does not do justice to the three small houses...
Alice Ghent.

Summer - 2000: Vogue Entertaining and Travel Magazine.

April - 2000: Dawsons Magazine:
The architecture of the cabins is superb... with sweeping views over the Johanna Valley and Great Southern Ocean, the cabins are ideal for those wanting luxury self - contained accomodation in a magnificent setting...an experience out of the ordinary...but with true Australian style.

June - 2000: Geelong Advertiser - Geelong Today Magazine:
...a prime slice of the Otways...A set of three stunning self - contained cabins...that will impress even the fussiest of holidaymakers...The cabins are extremely spacious with...jarrah floorboards so perfectly polished you can see yourself in them...nothing short of extraordinary... Kylie Oliver.

June - 2000: The Age Escape Lift out - Staying Inn:
Every cabin represents a veritable forest, from the jarrah floorboards to the pine panelling...Even the chopping board is made from four varieties of timber that grow in the Otways.
Nice touch: The fire burning on your arrival, and the leadlight window in the shape of a boomerang.
Best bits: The three essentials for total relaxation: tranquility, silence and the view.
Kathryn McNess.

2000: Lonely Planet - Victorian guide:
Truly stunning. Very swish.

March - 2001: National Geographic Traveller Magazine.

Autumn - 2001: Australian Country Experience Magazine:
Swathes of gently-sloping pasture either side of a valley merge together like interlocking fingers covered in green velvet. Dairy cows, like those you'd find among farmyard animals in a toy box, are dotted here and there. And the sun is shining, throwing up metallic-blue highlights on the stretch of Southern Ocean beyond the valley. Much more interesting than a cabin with four walls, the boomerangs are at home among rugged beauty. The placement of each cabin was exacting to ensure complete privacy. Impact and style by the surf. Michelle Ainley.

May - 2001: Channel 7's The Great Outdoors:

June - 2002: Victorian Country Living Magazine:
"...irresistable..." The design is quintessentially Australian - there is nothing like it in the rest of the country.

October - 2002: Powercor Australia Colac Otway Business Awards:
Overall winner.  Best Tourism Accommodation Business.

April - 2004: The Sunday Herald Sun Web Traveller: "Getaway of the week."

September - 2004: Hoofs and Horns Magazine:
Imagine going to sleep under a blanket of stars winking through the window and waking to a panorama of forest and ocean at your doorstep. Visually impressive, the combination of location and unique design of The Boomerangs is stunning.

May - 2005: The Age Great Escape
"...a collection of boomerang shaped designer cottages boasting spectacular ocean views."
