A once in a life time experience.
It felt like you were in the clouds one with the elements.
9.0 / 10.0
The location and the views are incredible. The property is truely stunning and totally unique and there just aren’t words to adequately describe how magical the 180 degree views of the coast are. We woke each morning to beautiful sunrises, stared endlessly at the ocean watching the waves and the surfers all day, then we sighed in awe as the sun went down and the stars came out to reveal the southern cross watching over us. I can’t wait to return.
The property is very minimalist and the bed is a drop down wall unit that is a little small if you are used to a king size bed. The pillows were awful and need replacing and the single use toiletries really need to be replaced with something more environmentally responsible. Given how expensive it is to stay there we just felt a little more was needed in terms of the quality of bedding, crockery etc.. as well as some nice touches like a knee rug, a bottle of local wine - social touches to go with the ambience and the tariff.

The view was fantastic. The mattress and pillows were comfortable. Fireplace was great. The place was very clean.
-The bed is small. I am short and my feet were right at the end of the bed my husband’s were off the end. However the bed has a VERY comfortable mattress and pillows.
-The kitchen is not well equipped. It needs a proper stove top and oven as people like to cook.
-The electric blinds are cool but would have liked them to be able to be separately closed/opened.
-Husband had a shower the second night then I had one after and it was barely lukewarm.
-The fireplace was great but there wasn’t enough kindling and the wood was damp so it was hard to get it going. Smaller dry wood pieces and more kindling would have made it much better.
Overall I was happy with the stay but when the price is this high I definitely expected more.

The views were amazing. Car parking great.
Not much ceature comforts, equipment, brooms, toaster etc were average. Recliner not working. Unable to reach bedside tables. Only one table next to couch. No tissues. No spot for toothbrush.
No face washers, towels poor.

The moment we crossed the walkway we were transported into another world of sheer luxury. The house is actually quite small but very spacious, a minimalist approach to furnishing works so well as the views are amazing. The windows are cleaned weekly, and we were lucky enough to have them cleaned whilst we were there.
There is also a resident one-legged magpie who likes savoy biscuits who came to visit us a few times.
Although the black drop curtains do block out a certain amount of light , I would suggest if you're a light sleeper pack an eye mask as the car head lights driving up and down The Great Ocean Road light up the house from both directions.

The Pole House has stunning views. You can hear the waves rolling in constantly. It is a one of a kind experience.
Minor maintenance issue in the bathroom door not staying fully closed. A bit more kindling to help get the fire going would have been helpful. Something other than a heavy awkward chain for the entrance to the driveway would be nice.

The views were exceptional, certainly a wow factor when you walk across the bridge to the Pole House. The fireplace was lovely and warm, the end of summer but still needed a fire. It’s as solid as a rock, windy but didn’t feel any swaying. Well engineered. Loved the little welcome goodies.
You pay good money to stay at the Pole House, they really should put a proper bed in, the bed was a Murphy bed in much need of replacing, sags in the middle, and should be a least a king size. Couch also needs replacing, it’s lost its support and padding. No sugar and no tissues.
9.0 / 10.0
It was pretty the view and no kids noise. No fuss, like the birds that visited. Liked the basket of goodies. Parking was great. The bed was ok, couch worked if you added pillows. Likes the board games.
There was no milk. The blanket in the cupboard to put on my knees was hard and prickly. The lights above the table didn’t work. Price was over the top but well I paid it.
