Welcome to The Boomerangs at Johanna. We are located at the halfway mark of both the Great Ocean Road & the Great Ocean Walk. Just minutes from Johanna Beach we offer our guests something unique. Architect designed, boomerang shaped cottages with valley, forest & ocean views. Surrounded by magical, landscaped gardens we are quintessentially Australian. Suited to families, couples & honeymoon accommodation. This is Great Ocean Road accommodation with a real difference.
Mark and Rozâs gorgeous property was a perfect place to spend a few relaxing days. The cabin was built of lovely local woods, with huge windows framing the beautiful views of gardens and farmlands. Comfortable beds and bath, nicely furnished, light and cheerful. Lots of back roads to explore and several good meals at the Perch. Couldnât have been nicer!
Such a stunning setting and perfect digs. The cabin is not only clean and cosy, it has stunning view

Everything you need for a relaxing get-away and itâs pet friendly. Our two mini-schnauzers loved it and weâre super excited when resident pooch, Blue, dropped by for a visit.
We also had a super relaxed yoga session with Roz which was money well spent. She came to our cabin with all the gear. All we had to do was stretch and breathe.

The location is wonderfully quiet, with a great view and is truly dog friendly. They even have a resident customer service representative the friendly collie called Blue to show you round and have pats and cuddles. The dog friendly Johanna beach is close by and perfect for wind swept walks. The accommodation is well presented, with all the key things you need for a comfortable stay including a wood fire and air conditioning (both of which kept us cosy despite the cold, wet weather). This coupled with the views across the nearby farms make it a great place to relax for a few days and curl up on the couch with a glass of wine and a good book!
Set amid beautiful gardens filled with native birds we spent a week in cottage number 3 and cannot recommend it highly enough. The cottage is so comfortable and beautiful, with stunning views out the huge windows. The owners are on site, and are happy to help with anything you need (including spare keys when we locked ours inside ). And Blue the dog is so friendly and cute!
My family and I had a wonderful time staying at the Boomerangs and exploring the beautiful region .
Roz and Mark are fabulous hosts and weâd love to return again in the future .

We really enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and very relaxing and the perfect getaway. Mark and Roz were wonderful hosts. Johanna is an amazing area and we were often the only people out walking on the beach. We also enjoyed some bush walks in the area such as Melba Gully. It was a quick drive to Laverâs Hill for coffee.
Lovely bungalows. Great for couples. The property management team comprises two lovely humans and two even lovelier dogs. Border collies Hanna and Blue will greet you and make you very welcome without intruding on your stay.
Quiet, well located for privacy from other cabins and a short drive to the wonderful Johanna beach. Beautiful gardens all around the cabins, second best dog in the world (ours is the best) who visited frequently but was very well behaved. The location is fantastic for visiting places in the Otways weâd never seen before, from the coast to rainforest areas and bush. Special mention for incredibly comfortable, large leather couches for relaxing on after a day hiking.
Cottage had everything we needed, set in lovely garden with sweeping views through massive windows over the surrounding countryside - you can even see out to the ocean at Johanna Beach. The interior was lovely - lots of wood, windows, mirrors, glasswork etc. Very close to some of the most stunning sections of Great Ocean Road Walk. We had 2 cars so could car shuffle, when needed. Plenty of wildlife too.
The property was beautiful the view and the gardens brought such a relaxing feel to our stay. Even though we only got to stay one night it was such a peaceful and relaxing stay. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone wanting to get away and be around nature.
Itâs a very neat place. Wake up with rabbits on the grass outside patio, sleep with full sky of stars outside glass wall. Itâs a three-day dream life experience we had and will spark in the memory for life long.
Thanks for providing such a wonderful place.
My wife and I built the cottage and opened for business in 1997. We have put our heart and soul into this business. The cottage is maintained in excellent condition as are the surrounding gardens.
It's very quiet here. There is no light whatsoever in this area which makes for sensational star gazing. Blue Wren Cottage is suitable for people with disabilities.
