Why this retreat was built and how to get there.

Owner/manager of A River Bed, Wendy, holidayed in the area as a child and,
loving the memories, moved here in 1997. While working in the Tourism/Accommodation industry for many years, saw a need for modern self contained 'couple' accommodation. So created A River Bed for 2.

Directions:
Take the Princes Highway from Melbourne, through Geelong and follow the signs to the Great Ocean Road. Drive through Anglesea and continue on to Aireys Inlet. Aireys is a tranquil seaside resort on the beautiful southern coast of Victoria.
When you enter the town of Aireys Inlet, drive past the shops on the left and the hotel on the right. Down the hill and, at the bottom, turn right into Bambra Road then left into River Road, left again into River Reserve Road. Second on the left, you'll see your carport on the left.


Location and what's nearby

A River Bed is close to Lorne, Anglesea, Torquay and the Otways but right on the Great Ocean Road and Surfcoast. Its so handy for day trips and a perfect base for your holiday or simply a weekend or overnight getaway.

The host was very hospitable. The close proximity to the local shops, river and the beach is what stood out. As well as the local pub and restaurant. Very quiet area. A good place to just kick back and relax.

This was a gorgeous little cottage in an absolutely picturesque location. Cottage was spotlessly clean, location was quiet and peaceful, scenery was beautiful, and everything was within walking distance. Wendy, the owner, was lovely to deal with - very friendly. We thoroughly recommend A River Bed Cottage for a quiet little get-away.

A quaint cottage across from the river with a beautiful outlook. A perfect place for a weekend away as a couple.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2025
I’m sorry to say inside it was not so relaxing with vivid patterned covers over the comfy lounge furniture, which was not what was shown on the website! Access to back door entrance via a rusty back gate and dilapidated backyard was offputting. Poor lighting in bathroom and the general feel that this property would be so much more enjoyable with some fresh paint and a spring clean.
