This place is an absolute gem. Situated in the hills, away from the hustle and bustle of the Great Ocean Road. If you are looking for peace and quiet, closeness to nature and a special retreat, this is the place for you.
The studio is set in a garden full of flowers, fruit and vegetables, visited by curious parrots and, with a bit of luck, kangaroos and koalos may appear at the fence in the morning. The studio itself is tastefully furnished, clean and very cozy. When it gets chilly, you can lounge by the fire with a good book or enjoy the evening atmosphere with a glass of wine on the veranda.
The hosts were always there when you needed them. Very good communication and extremely helpful. It doesn't get any better than this.

stunning mountain area, photos make the room look smaller than it actually is, very spacious for a studio but still a cute little nook where the bed is
Petrina was very accommodating and made it super clear of how to find and enter the property even though we arrived when it was very dark
loved the the wine and chocolates left for us too

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Studio at Killala Post. The location is stunning—set in a peaceful and beautifully maintained garden, with birds visiting the balcony. The studio itself was immaculate, and the photos don’t quite capture just how magical the setting really is.
Petrina was a fantastic host—so warm and welcoming, bringing us fresh strawberries and squash from the garden and always quick to respond to any questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend!

Only a stones throw away from the township of Apollo Bay is this absolutely stunning property with a beautifully restored studio cottage. It was so peaceful listening to so many birds sing while having a glass of wine on the patio, yet so easy to get into town for dinner. Petrina has thought of everything from the welcome wine to the tasteful touches of making your your stay comfortable. Petrina & Phil made us feel so welcome including our dog Poppy. Often dog friendly accomodation isn't that nice for the humans (or only welcome small dogs), not the case here! We will be returning for sure!
Thank you,
Poppy, David & Sue

The hills behind Apollo Bay is where you will find this unique property approximately fifteen minutes by car from the centre of town. Get the best of both worlds, close proximity to town and beach with the stunning appeal of the secluded Otways. Relax, unwind, walk, ride, wild life, take it all in.

We had a beautiful stay and enjoyed the lovely view and the friendly birds visiting us throughout the day. We really enjoyed use of the fire in the evening and the kitchen was great and equipped well, we cooked most our meals in. There was a very gorgeous Koala that we saw multiple times during the evening on our drive back in to the property, just keep in mind the last 10 mins of driving is on a very narrow, two way gravely road so you want be a confident driver! Petrina was a lovely host and very friendly at check in. The only thing was you have to take your own rubbish with you when you check out and it can be a bit tricky to find somewhere to put it! A beautiful and quiet location and we enjoyed driving around to explore the Otway’s and the coast from this private spot 🙂

If you are looking for a peaceful retreat to unwind and connect with nature, this is the perfect spot. The location is breathtaking, surrounded by lush forests and stunning scenery. The studio itself was cozy and we loved spending evenings by the fireplace.
We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful stay, the studio was clean and tidy and Petrina was so friendly. The views of the garden and the wildlife were fantastic, the set up was cosy and warm. We were supplied with heaps of firewood and an easy to light set up. The whole place and vibe was just lovely 🙂

Absolutely loved staying here, 2 nights were not enough! The place was beautiful, so clean and very well set up. The fire was a standout and made our trip. Petrina was lovely, with great communication and very helpful.
Originally the drive up was a little daunting but after the first trip it became a breeze. Would definitely recommend this place if you're comfortable driving on a bit of a windy dirt road (take it at your own pace and it's fine!). Was no hassle to get into town for dinners and a great place to base our G.O.R travels.
We were always so excited to come back in the evening to the beautiful house and toasty fire. Will be coming back in the future!

We stayed in the studio for a couple of nights and it was a really beautiful setup. It’s peaceful and the surrounds are full of bird life. The trek up the mountain on a windy dirt road added to the charm of the whole experience. Attention to detail by the hosts is noteworthy. Highly recommended. One of the most memorable Airbnbs we stayed at.

Recently stayed with my partner and pup at the gorgeous studio. Very private and in a beautiful location about 20 minutes out of Apollo Bay. The studio was exactly as described with a lovely wood fire to keep you warm. Has a full kitchen and everything you need to cook a meal. would definitely recommend Petrinas place to anyone wanting a getaway.

Petrina and Vicki’s place was an absolute dream. Peaceful, cozy and perfect for a lovely getaway. The studio was clean, so cute and had everything we needed. We had the pleasure to meet Vicki, who was warm, welcoming and really friendly. We would definitely come back!

My partner and I had a great time. The tranquility and peacefulness was exactly what we were looking for to relax. The house is lovely and cosy, and yet quite spacious for its size. Its great to disconnect from the world. Its close to town, but far enough away to hardly hear a car.
There's no TV which was great, we brought board games and cards and books to occupy ourselves. The garden is lovely as well, and the hosts are great to talk to.
The bottle of wine and some chocolates that were there on arrival were a delightful little surprise to welcome us.
Definitely plan to come back some time hopefully for longer.

Staying at Killala Lodge was a beautiful city-escape in the hilly hinterlands of Apollo Bay. We instantly arrived in our holiday and relaxed in the cute, light and sun filled cottage amidst the lush, green lawns and hills, surrounded by beautiful flowers, tress and wildlife. We highly recommend this cute cottage for a cosy weekend away.

Petrina and her husband are fantastic hosts. Passionate about their property and easy to chat with. They were always cheery in passing and made you feel at home in their studio. Petrina provided excellent directions to the property. The studio itself was spotless and well laid out. If you are worried about the composting toilet, don't. You would never know it wasn't a regular toilet. The fireplace in the studio is fantastic, and the hosts had set for a fire already, and included firewood outside, including several small bundles of twigs and kindling tied with a twine as a really nice touch. While there is no TV, we had our own portable projector that we were able to project onto the slanted roof for a movie night and a fire to stay warm. This is an Airbnb you will not regret.

What an incredibly special and magical place to stay! Valley views, peaceful nature, fruit trees in the yard-the serenity and peace here are medicine for the soul if you’re looking to unplug and get away from it all!
Petrine was so welcoming and made me feel immediately at home! Her place was spotless and super cozy. I only wish I could’ve stayed longer!

We had a wonderful stay in Petrina's vacation accommodation. Everything was taken care of, the furnishings extremely tasteful, the garden around the cottage a little paradise. At night the stars came very close, during the day we experienced a rich bird life. The kitchen was new and fully equipped, we could sit on a small terrace and relax wonderfully with great impressions of nature. One evening we even found a koala bear sitting in the tree. The hosts were extremely nice.
