Guest Access:

You will have access to all areas of the property except the garage.



Please note that TEDs Café is located directly next to the house, and we share a walkway along the kitchen side of the property with the café. We kindly ask that guests do not use this side walkway for access.



For privacy, we usually keep the curtains closed on that side, as it looks directly onto the café's access path.



The Neighborhood:

The Neighbourhood

Nestled along the iconic Great Ocean Road, Peterborough is a charming coastal village with a relaxed, slow-paced atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding. Everything is within easy walking distance, including the beach, golf course, local pub, two cafés, a small general store, and a petrol station.

The area is surrounded by some of the Great Ocean Road's most spectacular natural attractions, including the Bay of Islands Coastal Park, The Grotto, Bay of Martyrs, Bay of Islands, London Bridge, and the world-famous Twelve Apostles, all just a short drive away.



Spend your days exploring scenic coastal walks, swimming, surfing, fishing, spotting local wildlife, or simply soaking up the peaceful village atmosphere. Peterborough is the perfect base for discovering the stunning Shipwreck Coast while enjoying the quiet charm of a welcoming seaside community.



Please note: Peterborough has limited shopping facilities. If you require specialty groceries or specific supplies during your stay, we recommend picking them up along the way. The nearby towns of Port Campbell and Timboon, both within a short drive, offer larger supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, and a wider range of services.



Other Things to Note:

We share a block with our neighbours ( TEDS cafe) which is super convenient for your morning coffee hit! We share a walkway along the MACs street side of the house and ask that you do not use this path. We prefer to keep the curtain closed along that side also for privacy.



Interaction with Guests:

I won’t be attending the property in person during your stay, unless there’s an issue that requires my presence. However, I’m always available by phone if you need anything or have any questions during your visit.
