This is by far the best B&B we have stayed. The property is located along the Great Ocean Road but just far enough away from the main road we did not hear traffic noise at all. Landscape around the property is tastefully done. The bedrooms are very clean and comfortable. Lex and Mary are truly wonderful hosts. I still remember... More

Stopped late in the day when heavy weather came over the Great Ocean Road and really got lucky. Lex clearly puts his all into the place and all the details are thought through. Warm, clean and comfy beds, wifi access and a good view from the bedroom window. For $5 extra, a cooked breakfast you'd easily pay $18 for in... More

The owners go above and beyond the level of service you could expect at any hotel. They provided us with homemade biscuits, and breakfast included homemade croissants and homemade jams. As we left they gave us a small box of homemade truffles. Our room had the best hotel bed I've ever slept in. At night we could see the Milky... More

Lavers Hill is a great location along the Ocean Road. The hosts are excellent and provide the most wonderful accommodation. The room, while under the same roof, is separate from the owners. It was immaculately clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is most enjoyable. Make sure you go to the Roadhouse (local Hotel) for dinner. It is good value and an... More

My wife and I stayed here for two days as we toured the Great Ocean road. Lex and Mary were wonderful hosts and gave us great advice on where to go and what to see. Triplet Falls was a great hike and the red and blue roads were a nice diversion. And Lex let us borrow his flashlight for our... More

The sunrise in room number 1 is amazing, the breakfast and afternoon cookies super delicious and the view is surreal. The couple Lex and Mary are lovely. We love every moment! We want to go back in winter, should be lovely!

Located conveniently close to the Great Ocean road(near Apollo Bay) but serene and quiet as soon as one drives up the beautifully landscaped drive. The house looks out over wooded valleys all the way to the ocean, 10 miles away. The prize-winning garden, creatively landscaped and maintained by the hosts, Lex and Mary, slopes down and away, melding with the... More

My wife and I stayed with Lex and Mary at their B&B February 7-9. We were immediately struck by the beauty of the garden and valley setting. Our room had windows facing to the ocean beyond and we immediately relaxed from our long (but beautiful) drive from Melbourne via the Great Ocean road. We opted for the continental breakfast initially... More

We stayed at Lex and Mary's B&B for 2 nights as part of our Great Ocean Walk. We appreciated Lex's friendliness and willingness to accommodate our plans. He generously allowed us to seek refuge in his home, prior to check-in, when the weather was too hot to walk. The room was comfortable and we appreciated being able to spread out... More

We stayed with Lex and Mary on days 3 and 4 of our Great Ocean Walk.The transfer service provided by Lex, the beautiful room and the hospitality overall, not to mention the wonderful food, made for a memorable 2 days. We fully intend to return and will recommend it highly to friends planning to do this walk.
