Prom Gate Getaway

Yanakie

This was our second visit to Prom Gate Getaway. The location is great for a visit to Wilsons Prom National Park. It is close to the Park Entrance and only 30 km to Tidal River. We tended to do walks in the Northern part of the park but eventually do get to Tidal River for some of the walks in that area too. Prom Gate Getaway is clean, well equipped and the view over the inlet is stunning. We love to see the sunrises. Julie is a great host and there is little that can be faulted. My only suggestion is to have a different approach to shampoo and conditioner - there must be a better way than single use plastic containers.

Perfect to enjoy Wilsons Prom National Park

We stayed at Prom Gate Getaway for a mid-week escape in late March. This is a great place because it is close to Wilson's Prom and the cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The scenery from the front deck and the lounge area is stunning. The cabin is well equipped for self-contained catering. There were few options for dining so it is best to plan to self-cater. Julie and Andy were great hosts and willing to help in every way possible.

Comfort & convenience

We stayed at Prom Gate Getaway for 10 days over the New Year period. Julie and Andy were fantastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble. The cabins are great, with everything you need including kitchen and BBQ utensils. This is a great place to stay, very relaxing and quiet. Great to get away and recharge the batteries. I would definitely visit again.

Great place to relax and recharge

Had a memorable stay at the Prom Gate Getaway. James is a very friendly and hospitable host. He helped us with every intricate detail to make our experience worthwhile.

The cabin had stunning views of the sea and countryside. It was also extremely clean, well equipped, and had a self sufficient kitchen.

The friendly and hospitable nature extends to their dog, Skye as well, who gave us a very warm company.

We miss our stay here and would certainty be back.

Uniquely Beautiful

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend a week ago. Friendly couple running Prom Gate Getaway. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. It’s a short drive from Wilson’s Prom national park. Lots of fresh air and beautiful scenery. We’ll definitely be back.


Great weekend break 

Great spot ,handy to Prom and Great rail trail .
Sandie and Jamie great hosts with heaps of local knowledge and only to willing to help make visit the best!!
Highly recommend and will certainly be back

4 day stay

Located 2 minutes outside Wilson’s Prom entrance and 5 from Yanakie for supplies and nice cafe. All cottages have an amazing view over towards the east side of the Prom and Corner Inlet. Really helpful and friendly owners. Cottage comfortably furnished, cosy, very clean and peaceful. Definitely recommended especially to escape the Prom Tidal River crowds.

Great base for Wilson’s Prom

The property hosted by Jim and Sandra is located just minutes away from the Proms entrance. We stayed in November in one of the cabins on this privately owned property. The cabins are very comfortable with all of the comforts of home and if you are lucky you may be visited by Skye the very friendly black Labrador. The owners were very welcoming and did not intrude on our stay, they were available if needed.

The cabins have great views from the good sized balconies over green pastures to the sea and distant hills.

Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Great place to base yourself for a visit to Wilsons Prom

I booked a stay at Prom Gate Getaway through an online booking site. Prom Gate offered free cancellation. We had to cancel closer to the time due to family reasons. We cancelled well within the free cancellation period. Prom Gate then refunded the amount minus an “administrative charge” that was never listed anywhere on the site prior to booking.

When challenged about this, they claimed my actions were “suspicious” and refused to refund the admin charge. Cancelling within the free cancellation period and then disputing an “administrative charge” that was not advertised is suspicious??? They then said I was blacklisted from their accommodation because of this. What a ridiculous and dodgy place. The admin charge is only 5 Australian Dollars but it is the principle of it. Don’t advertise free cancellation and then surprise customers after booking with so-called administrative charges that were not advertised beforehand. Get a basic understanding of contract law and unfair trading practices. How many times have they pocketed this unadvertised “administrative charge” despite advertising “free cancellation”? Totally dishonest and false advertising.

I should have known that this place was fishy right from the start. After I booked the accommodation, they started sending lots of e-mails about security bonds and various fees and charges. I see from other reviews that some people have had difficulty getting this security bond refunded or that the owners have taken liberties in withholding it. When I book holiday accommodation I expect it to be hassle free, not a back and forward of invoices, small print and administrative charges. When owners try to catch people out or squeeze money out of potential customers like this, it speaks for itself.

It’s obvious the owners are taking advantage of people and are 100% money grabbers. Do yourself a favour and book somewhere else for your stay in this area.

Suspicious and shady behaviour from owners

We stayed here for 6 nights. It was spotlessly clean and right on Wilsons Prom National Park. The views were beautiful and it was very quiet. We loved their dog.  Jim and Sandra were very welcoming. The cottage is small but all you need is provided. We used the b-b-que most nights and really enjoyed the deck. We had a wonderful stay before returning home.
For us, there were only two negatives- the lack of WI-FI and no laundry. Having said this, we stayed for 6 nights and were coming off a camping trip, so the lack of laundry was only an issue to us. Anybody who stays for only a few nights would have no need of a laundry and I gather this is more the case for this accomodation. Jim told us where the laundromats were, so the problem was overcome. Jim informed me that the WI-FI is coming. After we left, I texted Jim about a matter and he returned my call and we had a long talk. This is a couple building a business, learning, as we all do, and prepared to listen to feedback, with humility. This is rare. He immediately changed one thing I suggested. I would recommend this place. It would be hard to find somewhere more restful and yet, it has the balance of all the walks and beauty of the Prom right at its door. We did heaps of walks every day and also visited Tara Valley(about an hour away), a magnificent rain forest. I believe Jim and Sandra are bothering to take in the feedback and change. This is a great attitude to business, being prepared to change and listen to your clients.
