rehab155@destinationm — Hotel in Gellibrand Lower

A truely magical stay, from the seemingly never ending view of Australian bush, down to the details of the interior. Every little aspect of rehab155 has been created with so much love and care, there’s a little piece of history and a story behind every aspect of the apartment. Not only is it visually beautiful, but the host Matthew made sure I was well looked after, with baked goods and also a well stocked kitchen with all the spices, herbs and pantry essentials (which were all either home grown and harvested by Matthew or locally sourced from ethical farms). The self sufficient and sustainable build of the apartment took all the guilt away from indulging (especially in the GIANT bathtub) and truly let me relax and unwind. I couldn’t have wished for a more perfect escape. I will definitely be back to make use of the kayaks, and can’t wait to experience the beautiful landscape during a different season.

Also would recommend baking some potatoes in the fireplace and topping it with Matthews home...

We had a magical stay at this amazing light-filled apartment, surrounded by nature, watching the mist roll in and watching kangaroos and other wildlife from our bed! Loved the decor, how private it was, and the many thoughtful and delicious inclusions like firewood and Matthew’s home-made bread and cookies, home-grown fruit, and coffee. There is even a massive passionfruit vine groaning with ripe fruit we were free to feast on (yum!!!). And all this just 10 minutes drive from the 12 Apostles. While there’s plenty of other attractions nearby (the Redwood Forest is well worth a visit), we really enjoyed spending part of every day just hanging out in the cabin. Matthew is a delight who is happy to share his knowledge of the area if you have any questions. If you get the chance to eat any of the meals he offers, grab it. The pot stickers (dumplings) were our fav. Sooooo good. Thanks Matthew for a very...

This wonderful place is our annual couples retreat into pure bliss. Perfectly situated in the Otways, with stunning views, and birds all around, and secluded, you are taken away to the most perfect retreat. The food is a must. It is sooooooo delicious. Get everything you can! It’s too good to say no to. The Woodfire. The bath. The relaxing views. It is just perfect. We took the kayaks out on the river. Stunning. No one there but us. What a way to unwind from the business of city life. Absolutely recommend. Though I have loved many many places, I have never stayed anywhere twice, but here I have, because you can’t help but want to go back, every year!!! Thank you Mark and Matthew. You have inspired us to buy our own small part of the Otways, and to create an off grid place to rest, and relax, just as you have offered us with this beautiful...
