Perfect family holiday break. We decided to come here as we were after a quiet break from our noisy and busy lives in melbourne. We read the noise curfew  signs and were very glad that everyone here was also here for a quiet break, all you can here in the evening is the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, not like at home where all you here are cars and sirens!!!.If you are after a place that is family orientated and very safe , this is the place. I would like to thank the Staff and Sue the Manager for all the effort that they put into the resort, the outdoor amenities are tidied and cleaned up every  morning and night.  There is a very welcoming and personnal approach to the Resort.

Great family break, villa was very spacious and the kids played outside all day! Lovely friendly atmosphere. Gorgeous birds everywhere.The staff are very approachable and relaxed, always ready to help you out. We will definatley be back.

 A most enjoyable, quiet and relaxing place to take the family on our first together holiday, grand parents also came along. My only suggestion would be to have a covered outdoor area for games such as: table tennis, billiards etc, as if the weather isn`t great then the kids can still go and play. A very trusting and welcoming  feeling was felt from the staff and Manager on arrival.

Best stay ever! picked the right weekend, sunny and birdlife everywhere! The Manager was very thoughtful, we arrived late and when we got into our villa, the lights and heater were all on for us with a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine waiting on the table.

We`will definatley come back again                                                               Joan & Bruce                August 2012

 

 

Extremely well set up with all amenities on site. Quiet and within walking distance to all assets of the Great Ocean Road area,  Excellent value for money.

Couldn`t think of a thing to make it better,had a great time and the villa was lovely .

We had Villa  5 - slept a couple and two adults.
Comfy beds & lounge area although we weren't around long enough to bother with the TV or outdoor area. We had all our own food for breaky so the kitchen had all else required. The only fault we could see was that the shower was over the Spa which had quite high sides - a bit of a concern for older folk.
The Manager, Sue, couldn't have been more helpful - drove us to the township to meet a bus arranged for the wedding as we were all "lit up" in the high heels & the walk seemed a bit daunting. The pool & tennis court looked inviting & were well patronised by other guests.                                                                                                                                                            Jennifer Simpson April 2012 

 

Filled in a survey at the Resort and stated that: the staff, level of cleanliness,amenities and maintenance, were all perfect, we will definately be back.                                                                                                                                  David & Kate   April  2012 

Booked in for our first family holiday and had the best time ever.

Staff are so friendly here, obviously because its a great place to work, let alone holiday! Be back in 2 years for our next family break  

                                                                                                                                                                 John & Heather March 2012  

Had a great family holiday here, the noise curfew is great as everyone is quiet by around 11pm, so you can get a great sleep listening to the waves crashing (unreal sound)  My only suggestion is to get the pool heated as even though the kids didn`t mind, I would have had a heart attack diving into the cold water.                                                             Jenny & Ralph and Family         March 2012                       

Our Arpartment was perfect,( bathroom needed a couple of repairs that we were told about,when we checked in).

Pool, Spa & tennis court all looked to be in great order and a pleasure to make use of. Feeding the birds was a great treat.

                                                                                                                                                                                                    M & T Oct 2011

The Pet friendly villa was fantastic for us, it allowed us to have a holiday with our family ( we have no children).The rates were very well priced, the condition of the Resort is marvellous, everything is looked after so well, makes you feel like its your home away from home. We will definately be coming back! Thanks Sue

What can I say about the place!  everything, especially the hospitality was amazing, nothing was to much trouble. We`ll be back in October for another relaxing stay .

Best holiday in quite a while, relaxing, comfy and very clean. Staff and management were more than happy to help us out with fishing tips and local places to visit.

A hidden paradise. We now know where to come for a break from the busy life we live in Melb.

We would like to thank the Staff at the Getaway for making our stay very relaxing. Its a great place to come to in the winter months as the Gas log fires are very authentic and kept us really warm.

Had a great stay down in Aireys Inlet, a dishwasher would have helped though (as we have 5 children) I soon bought paper plates and we had lots of  b-b-q`s

We will definately be back!

 Locals save Aireys Hotel!!! "http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/-1iwee.html

We first stayed at Aireys Inlet Getaway 6 years ago and have just enjoyed our 5th summer family holiday there with our 2 children. We think Aireys is the West Coast's best kept secret. You have both the Inlet and the surf beach to swim in, great beach walks and local activities, plus of course the tennis court, pool and spa. Being roughly half way between Lorne and Anglesea means everything is at your fingertips but without the crowds and the hustle and bustle of those large centres. You can stroll to the Aireys pub for dinner with the kids or be at Anglesea or Lorne within 15 minutes if you want; and then wander up to the local shops for a coffee, paper and breakfast first thing in the morning. The sound of the rolling surf as you go off to sleep at night is special.”

"My partner Lea and I stayed with you in Apartment 10 for 4 nights recently and truly loved it!  You have a very relaxing resort which allowed us to unwind and get into another space.  The surrounding gardens are well landscaped and our apartment was just perfect, modern, and clean, everything we required. We also loved the cockatoos and other birds paying us a visit on our spacious balcony.  And thanks go to you and your staff for your attentive, friendly service.  We hope to come back again in the near future. Thanks so much!"

"The Aireys Getaway resort is perfectly positioned near the beach, not far from the shops and only a short stroll to the historic lighthouse. It is well equipped with a spa, pool, tennis court and a sheltered BBQ; perfect for relaxing on a summer evening. Lots of birds (Cockatoos, Rosellas, etc.) will also be keeping you company. We find the accommodation offers an excellent combination of activities and relaxation for those wanting some time out of the city and in the great outdoors."

"We just finished our 6th stay at your beautiful resort, and we just wanted to let you know how much we enjoy it. Sue is a pleasure to deal with, nothing is too much trouble. The unit was as clean and lovely as always, the update looks great, only the same TV was a bit of a let down. We just love it."

"A group of 11 people stayed in Villa 2 & 3. These 2 villas were ideal for this amount of people with one of the villas having a much larger lounge/dining area for group meal times. The décor was very new and pleasing to the eye and both villas were extremely well equipped. The outside areas had plenty to do for all ages and consideration was given to guests as far as the BBQ and outside eating areas, with cooking tools and the likes provided by the resort. Value for money was excellent. We are rebooking for next year."

"We came by Aireys Inlet Getaway by accident. We’d been to Aireys Inlet for a day trip and decided to see if we could find overnight accommodation. What a great place we stumbled upon. The staff were very hospitable and friendly. They had a room ready for us within minutes of our enquiring about a vacancy. The 4 of us stayed in one of the deluxe cabins comfortably. The rooms are very beautifully decorated. All very modern. The huge corner spa and gas fire heater make you never want to leave. The rooms are so very clean. It’s a pity we couldn’t stay longer than a night. The well equipped kitchen and in room laundry facilities make for a very comfortable and affordable long stay. We went during low season- I’m certain we would need to book well in advance in the summer."

"We stayed at this beautiful serene resort for our honeymoon. Having just got married all l wanted was romantic time with my new husband, and the Aireys Inlet Getaway Resort was the perfect location. The villa oozed romance - fireplace, spa, nature, beautiful decor, beach walks, starry clear night sky, birds fluttering onto the balcony, privacy and our own lovely in room dining so we could stay in – a lot. I loved this place almost as much as l love my new husband. Thankyou so much to the manager Sue- for all those little touches -like making us Yanks feel like real Aussies, and the chocolates were so thoughtful. We will be back - hopefully every year for our anniversary."

"Our family have had the opportunity to stay at this lovely resort for a few years now and the experience just keeps getting better and better. The one thing that must be said is that you do feel like you're away in your own holiday house (and also have use of a pool, spa, tennis court and activities) even though there about 10 villa's on site. It must be the peaceful surroundings and the tranquillity of the area that brings the best out in people. The staff at the resort are extremely friendly and helpful which is a nice change to renting a house (with no help) or staying at a hotel. They really do go out of their way to help out. The only downside is that occasionally cars must travel through the resort to get to their villas (ever so slowly) but I must admit that this is a bonus when you offload/upload your car with your luggage. The family love the place so we will definitely be coming back and because of it's location you get to go to both Lorne and Anglesea/Torquay yet stay in a place which is not overpopulated."

"Aireys Inlet is one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the world. All year round the spectacular ocean views and atmosphere capture your heart. My husband and l love it so much, that we got married and had our honeymoon there 14 years ago. My family have been staying every year for the past 15, at a wonderful place called "Aireys Inlet Getaway" Resort, What a fantastic find!!!!!!! It is sensational, the place has that "l just want to come back here" feeling. There are about 8 villas of different sizes, set in a wonderful huge garden, with a creek running through it. We stayed last time, in one of the luxury family Villa's. The kids loved it, they swam non stop in the pool, jumped in and out of the spa, played tennis and fed the friendly bird life. Spent hours on the beach, went horse riding. We have booked the place out on numerous occasions for family and friend reunions and had a ball. The local restaurants and town pub are also fantastic. The Getaway Resort is on the ocean side of the Great Ocean Road, and a 3 minute walk to the beach, lighthouse and bird sanctuary. The staff there are soooooooo lovely and friendly, which is one reason why we always go back there."

"The perfect family holiday - relaxation, activities aplenty, sun, surf, barbeques, and fab local food. We went with our whole extended family. Each of us had our own spacious villa. I was worried we would be bored because Aireys Inlet is a small town. But it turned out to be far better than staying within the crowds of nearby Lorne or Anglesea. The resort is centred around a pool and tennis court with gardens to run around in -so the kids were never bored and we could keep an eye on them. Also l loved being able to sneak off to the quiet privacy of our villa when l wanted to read a book or day time snooze. But other times we all gathered together in the barbeque area or headed off to one of the local restaurants. Surf club or pub - all of which were in walking distance. But my favourite place to hang out was on the spectacular beach (again walking distance)-where we flew kites, swam, fished and wandered up to the lighthouse cafe for cookies and a cuppa. Overall l would say -go stay - it will become your families favourite holiday - it has for us."

Laughs, sun, sea, beach, warm fire and a lot of chatting. 4 days on a sensational girls getaway at the Getaway.
My wonderful friends flew in from Hong Kong, Perth and Queensland.
Getaway was the perfect destination that we could all gather together. We loved the walks on the beach cliffs, we loved coffee at skinny legs, we loved dinner around the bbque, we loved wines in the garden and we loved all being together. Thanks Getaway for a wonderful and memory filled holiday.

Another magical stay at our favourite family "Getaway". Couldn't recommend it more highly.

We just returned from our family holiday at this lovely resort. Everyone had a wonderful time and we couldn't believe that it was booked out because it was so peaceful! We thought we had the place all to ourselves! The unit was clean and spacious with everything we could have ever wanted or needed, although a dishwasher would have been handy and a larger fridge! We loved using the BBQ facilities, perhaps there might be our own one on our balcony next time?! We loved exploring the resort surounds but the pool was a bit cold to enjoy! We loved the layout of the unit and the resort was so well-maintained, we look forward to our next visit!
