Enjoy the newly opened lighthouse, bush, beach and cliff top walks, paddle on the river, horse riding and mountain biking at your fingertips. Its a beautiful part of nature here and such a great part of the Great Ocean Rd. Nearby is the town of Lorne famous for its waterfalls and cafe strip.

Why this retreat was built and how to get there.

Owner/manager of A River Bed, Wendy, holidayed in the area as a child and,
loving the memories, moved here in 1997. While working in the Tourism/Accommodation industry for many years, saw a need for modern self contained 'couple' accommodation. So created A River Bed for 2.

Directions:
Take the Princes Highway from Melbourne, through Geelong and follow the signs to the Great Ocean Road. Drive through Anglesea and continue on to Aireys Inlet. Aireys is a tranquil seaside resort on the beautiful southern coast of Victoria.
When you enter the town of Aireys Inlet, drive past the shops on the left and the hotel on the right. Down the hill and, at the bottom, turn right into Bambra Road then left into River Road, left again into River Reserve Road. Second on the left, you'll see your carport on the left.


Location and what's nearby

A River Bed is close to Lorne, Anglesea, Torquay and the Otways but right on the Great Ocean Road and Surfcoast. Its so handy for day trips and a perfect base for your holiday or simply a weekend or overnight getaway.

Nicely set up but in dire need of a proper clean and an update
The property was well set up and com, but it is quite dated in its decor, and desperately in need of a good industrial clean. The cutlery drawer was full of bits of food and dirt, and the rest of the property was just generally grubby
