Skibo Cottage

Skibo Cottage is a quaint, newly renovated 3 bedroom house. Newly built is a shed with a bedroom, bathroom and games room. Situated only minutes from the historic town of Camperdown and within close driving distance to the Great Ocean Road and Grampians.

Surrounded by farm land the peace and tranquillity of the house can be enjoyed whilst watching the cows & horses graze in the paddocks close by.

The house has been freshly renovated throughout and fitted out with warm and inviting tones. Our house is designed to make it feel like your home away from home.

Skibo Cottage
Wonderful property. A home away from home. Skibo Cottage offers not only a fabulous accommodation, also fabulous views. It also offers a peaceful stay. And the surrounding area is simply stunning. Day trips and a visit to Camperdown are made that much easier by staying at Skibo Cottage. We enjoyed our stay. We hope to visit again. Thanks for looking after us.

Nicely Renovated Country Cottage
It is a lovely cottage that was tastefully renovated and restored. The property was very clean, well presented and maintained and had all the things you might need (including an espresso machine). Wifi was faster than at home. We arrived late on a cold Friday evening and it was great to find the heaters were left on for us so the house was warm. They even thought to put on the electric blankets! We woke up to see cows out of the kitchen window in the paddock behind the property. Just out of Camperdown so felt like you were in the country but close enough to pick up anything you need. A good base to explore this part of Victoria.
