I felt the need to place a review on here as when we stayed there last week, the couple overseeing the property were SOOOO helpful. They knew we were getting in late, upon checking, put our electric blankets on for us, as it was freezing and we weren't arriving for a few hours still (into the night). We were with... More

Although well situated close to the shops and the beach, this is not the best choice for a one or two night stay. A group of 4 of us stayed here overnight and we were a little disappointed with the property in relation to what we paid for the one night stay. This place is expensive. Our unit did not... More

Great location, walking distance to town. Boat houses are clean and comfortable and fulfills basic needs. Lovely wood burner was excellent on chilly nights. The new owners have only been there 3 weeks and definitely have some general maintenance to carry out. Overall, nice and would stay there again.

The location of Rayville is fabulous, walking distance to all the cafes, pubs, beach and golf course at the end of the street and fresh fish shop just a wander away, however, for the price, we were disappointed. Self contained loft cabin, with beachy yellow and blue theme. Lovely to have a wood heater which my husband cranked up each... More

We really had a good time in the Boathouses. Particularly enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the fish & chips shop of the fishing cooperative & the golf course ... and of course the beginning of the Great Ocean Walk. Also the proximity to town allows a walk to the coffee shops for breakfast in the morning. The villa... More

The stay in rayville was disappointing, the house that we rented was old and dated. The bedrooms were on the ground floor and the living room was upstairs. The door did not lock good and I think it is a really bad design. The BBQ area was right in front of the house we stayed and it was dirty and... More

Clean, neat and well located for your travels on Great Ocean Road. We stayed one night as we travelled along the GOR. Our unit was clean and neat. A 'cute' double story unit with a balcony and covered parking for the car. Things worked as they should in the unit generally. A problem was the lack of good ventilation in... More

we had booked the penthouse apartment for 2 night and were very disappointed to find that our accommodation did not match the profile we had based our selection on . Our "penthouse " was above the managers office,and there was an adjoining door between the managers accommodation and an open staircase which lead directly into our accommodation.As a result of...

Stopped at Rayville boat houses on a trip along the ocean road. The apartment was spacious and spotlessly clean with huge sofa's and great views from the bedrooms of the ocean. A short walk to town with breathtaking views. The only negative was that there was no lock on the bathroom door, us poms are quite reserved ! Otherwise faultless.

Rayville Boat Houses was a really great place to be for the 3 days. Fully recommend. We loved the place, very comfy, lovely color pattern and totally clean. Everything needed was there. Best of all however is the immediate proximity to the beaches and the short walking distance to town. Also, good location to drive to everywhere along the Great... More
