Anna and Branko are amazingly outstanding hosts. Their attention to details in their cottage is exceptional. They are very generous with their supplies in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, bedrooms and their fireplace. Cookies, chocolates and a loaf of freshly baked bread awaited us when we checked in. They also shared with us their own organic honey from their bee hives and lemons/limes from their property. They were very clear in their instructions to their property and for check in/out. Johanna Meadows is a beautiful, cosy and very comfortable & clean cottage in a serene, quiet and beautiful setting. The best self contained accommodation we have ever stayed at, here in Australia and overseas. We were walking the Great Ocean Road walking trail and we picked Johanna Meadows as our base because it is literally right in the middle of the walking trail, 30 minutes to Apollo Bay, the starting point of the trail, 40 minutes to the 12 Apostles, the ending point of the trail, with Cape Otway Lighthouse, Aire River, Johanna Beach, The Gable Lookout, Wreck Beach, and the Devil's Kitchen in between. Anna and Branko were very kind to agree to look out for us each day to ensure we returned to base at the end of each walking day. The cottage is only up the road from Johanna Beach and around 20 minutes to The Perch in Laver's Hill, an amazing place for good food and excellent service. Thank you, Anna and Branko again for hosting us, we will be back!! Christina & Paul S

Thank you Anna and Branko for another lovely sojourn at beautiful Joanna Meadows. You are both wonderful and thoughtful hosts. As always, the cottage felt so welcoming. It is obviously well-loved and cared for. Some yummy treats on arrival. Spotlessly clean throughout. Very comfortable sofas and beds including quality bedding. I enjoyed cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen. Relaxing on the daybed either reading, looking out over the hills or watching for wildlife to come out of the forest. Although midwinter, I was warm and cosy inside thanks to the very effective wood heater. I loved listening to the birds, the wind in the trees and the Great Southern Ocean in the distance. Johanna Beach and part of the Great Ocean Walk are just a few minutes drive away. It was so quiet and peaceful here. The perfect place to just relax and soothe the soul.
