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.

Relaxing view
I’m sorry to say inside it was not so relaxing with vivid patterned covers over the comfy lounge furniture, which was not what was shown on the website! Access to back door entrance via a rusty back gate and dilapidated backyard was offputting. Poor lighting in bathroom and the general feel that this property would be so much more enjoyable with some fresh paint and a spring clean.

Peaceful and Picturesque
This was a gorgeous little cottage in an absolutely picturesque location. Cottage was spotlessly clean, location was quiet and peaceful, scenery was beautiful, and everything was within walking distance. Wendy, the owner, was lovely to deal with - very friendly. We thoroughly recommend A River Bed Cottage for a quiet little get-away.

Lovely weekend getaway.
A quaint cottage across from the river with a beautiful outlook. A perfect place for a weekend away as a couple.

Very Peaceful
If you are looking for a place where you need to recharge your batteries and escape the stresses that life can throw at you this is definitely it. I love the sea, my husband loves the bush and A River Bed Cottage ticket all the boxes. Situated in an idllyic pocket of Aireys Inlet. It was very peaceful and we had the river at our door step (approximately 20 metres from the cottage). The only traffic we had was people traffic who were walking and enjoying the serene surroundings. Every afternoon my husband would go to do some fishing. Just a five minute walk there is a bookshop, gift shop, surf shop, a couple of cafes, pizza restaurant and fish and chip shop. The local pub is also walking distance and a bit further up there is a Greek restaurant. The Aireys Inlet lighthouse is also walking distance. A great park that had electric bbqs. Ideal for families with young children. The beach is also close by. It was definitely a very relaxing time for both my husband and I.
