Amazing spot to hide away from town. Debbie and Noel were excellent hosts, explained everything then we had the place to ourselves. Just magical, we can’t wait to be back!

Such a lovely place to stay, we wish we could've stayed longer! The fireplace is so warm and the spa is perfect. We felt totally secluded and private. So glad we could bring our dog too - she loved exploring the farm. We'll definitely be back!

My husband Noel and I have run our Horse Trail Riding business since 1988. Our son Abe has now taken over the reins of the horse rides, pardon the pun. We have built three mudbrick cottages since 2009. Noel is a retired fire fighter and Deb a retired Practice Manager. Noel loves to surf and would love to take you surfing at his favourite wave at Bells Beach, whilst Deb could show you one of the many lovely local walks though the bush or along the beach.

Horse Riding On The Property

Spring Creek Horse Rides’ one-hour trail ride is a great introduction to horse riding in Bellbrae just out of Torquay, the start of the famous Great Ocean Road.

Our experienced horse riding guides will lead you on a gentle walk or trot through bushland of the Spring Creek Valley.

This trail ride is ideal for first timers, families and young children. No matter your level of experience, we will pair you with a horse that matches your ability, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable horse riding experience for everyone.

Enjoy a chance to check out the native flora – and who knows, you might even share an encounter with an echidna, kangaroo or cockatoo! If you don’t think one hour is long enough, don’t worry – Spring Creek Horse Rides also offers one-and-a-half and two-hour trail rides near Torquay, as well as all-day horse riding tours.

Spring Creek Trail Rides

The Love Shack is part of a 150 acre property called Spring Creek, that's been run by the same family since the 80's. There are over 40 horses and ponies, with daily trail rides happening. The rides go through bush tracks around the property, and through the bordering national parks. You can even book a pub ride, with lunch stop and cold frothy one at the halfway point. I highly recommend booking a ride as part of your stay at the shack, it was a highlight for us!

This property is a twitchers paradise, with a vast array of birds to watch, and parrots tame enough to hand feed. Not to mention the resident dogs, horses, and ponies!

Wills Winery Tour

Wills Winery Tour

Will is one of the coolest most passionate winemakers we have ever met. Greeting us at his cellar door he explains all the wines, letting you taste them all while explaining the process. Make sure you ask how he makes his signature dessert wine. It is liquid gold!
Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery

Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie Ice Creamery

If you love chocolate and ice cream like us, this is a must visit and only a very short drive from the villa. We were in chocolate heaven!

Absolutely worth a stop in, wines are scrumptious and the property is stunning. We had a wine sample board & brownie that was to die for. Great pizzas being rolled out as well.

Bellbrae Estate Winery

This region has so many incredible wineries to offer! Visit Bellbrae Estate on a Sunday for live blues music and start with a generous wine tasting. We opted for the Rosé.

Bowside Cafe Bellrae Art Garden

Definitely worth a stop in for a fresh juice, tasty dish, squizz at some local arts and crafts, and admire of some beautiful plants. The Bowside Cafe sites within Bellbrae Art & Garden - it's the cutest little hub that we could have spent all day in
Iron Bark Basin

Iron Bark Basin

There is a nearby ocean walking track. The narrow path with ocean views was framed by Ironbark trees (hence the name) and beautifully coloured by soft yellow native wattles.
