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, studio 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 car space at the front of the studio.

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.

We enjoyed our stay at this peaceful studio. It was quiet and relaxing. River was close by to do some casual walking and the big lighthouse wasn't far off either. The place was modern and had the main amenities. It met our basic needs for a two night stay.

Peaceful location

Such a great location with so many walking options - beaches, lighthouse and local eateries. I enjoyed overlooking the creek opposite for its birdlife and occasional kayaker. The property was well presented and clean with basic cooking facilities. I spent a few days here on my own and felt very safe and comfortable. I’d be happy to stay here again to enjoy this beautiful area.

We enjoyed the stay very much. It was very clean, the owner was uncomplicated. Morning run along the beach, nice breakfast café close by. Large front facing windows give a beautiful view over the water (not sure what type of waterway it is, but it really is as nice as in the photos.

Peaceful and comfortable location

I stayed here for a night before going down the Great Ocean Road. The studio was very clean and comfortable and it is in a peaceful and quiet location on the creek. The studio was well equipped for a short stay and owner Wendy was helpful for accessing the property. The lighthouse up the road was a great highlight nearby. Thank you!
