Sea Zen holiday/vacation rental Great Ocean Road Australia
Yellowtails return to Wye River for summer
A few weeks ago we heard the welcome wail of a family of Yellow Tail Cockatoos visiting the coast for summer. We love these gentle giants, the largest of all the cockatoo family.
They come to harvest Banksia cones a few metres from the Sea Zen balcony, just like this.
This family are taking over the tree looking for the tastiest cones.
They also enjoy ripping apart huge pine cones, so as soon as they have had their fill in our tree, they are off.
These magnificent birds have a wingspan of about 1.2 m and fly in an unmistakable slow bouncy flight. It looks effortless, but they cruise along at around 50 km/hr. One lucky day, we drove along the Great Ocean Road beside a family of three for about 5 kilometres. Magic!
"Best accommodation we have ever stayed in.
Layout, fixtures, finish, location, vibe - totally Zen!
Thank you. Sally and Andy"
"Such a beautiful and relaxing place. One of our best stays, surrounded by beach views (Lucky enough to see a whale!), birds life right on your balcony and spa and sauna to relax in after a day of surfing. This place was so cosy and cute! We loved this place so much that we will be back again. " Emma and Paul
"Another wonderful stay at Seazen, this time with our golden retriever Obi.
Perfect Autumn weather for day time walks and cosy evenings by the fire. We will be back! "
"We absolutely loved our stay here it was all so 'very perfect'!
Your place has such a beautiful calm and peaceful feel and the way you have thoughtfully added 'Zen & Japanese' features makes it feel truly special.
Couldn't have asked for more ... sounds of the waves, blues skies, ocean waves, shells, amazing 'stone art', open fires, spa with nature surrounding." Noeleen
"This has been our third visit to Seazen, and it truly feels like visiting an old friend. Effortless, relaxing and always delightful.
Thank you for making available such a hidden gem that feels like a home away from home...
Looking forward to our next stay."

"Our second visit to Sea Zen and Ted's first! We all had a wonderful time and Ted is definitely a confirmed beach dog now - he had so much fun playing with a kelpie on the beach & rock hopping and splashing in the waves.
We enjoyed 'chilling' time to read books and admire the stunning views. Thanks for sharing this special place.
PS. I love the view from the day bed!" Amanda
