Comfortable and welcoming home with a big backyard

This is a lovely country home with an incredibly well-equipped kitchen and a fenced backyard that my dog loved exploring. We only stayed for one night but would have wanted for nothing if we'd been there for longer. Olive is a warm and caring host who made sure we had clear directions to the property and a comfortable stay.

Great accomodation and top notch communication. We are from Canberra and while most of the population travel to the south coast… We find Orbost and marlo to be a hidden holiday gem on the VIC coast at about 3 hours and 40 minutes away from ACT.

About the host

Hosted by Olive Sage

Host profile image
We are a retired couple (ex teachers) who enjoy travelling and meeting people. Our permanent home is in N E Victoria, the Orbost home is our holiday house.

Why they chose this property

Our daughter, son in law and two grandchildren live in Orbost and as it is a long drive from home for us, we purchased Gordon Street as a base when we visit. We loved the quiet street, the proximity to the Main Street and our daughter’s house. We also like older houses and so this one appealed to us.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy spending time in Orbost and exploring the beautiful countryside and activities East Gippsland has to offer. There are still many new places to explore, beaches to walk, camp spots to discover. Orbost is a friendly town and we feel very welcome here.
