Surrounded by nature, yet a stones throw from all the local cafes and hot spots in Apollo Bay, Apollo Bay Ridge provides the perfect spot for a weekend getaway or a mid-week treat! The House is situated in a quiet, natural setting with panoramic views over the rolling hills of Apollo Bay. Peaceful and surrounded by trees, it is one of only three villas on our 8 acre property. With its own private deck and stunning views, the house is perfect for balmy summer evenings or a cozy winter retreat. The space As well as being home to many koalas, echidnas, wallabies and local parrots (which will come and greet you on the deck) we also have some resident alpacas you can see grazing from the balcony. Flooded with natural light and spectacular views, downstairs compromises kitchen, main bathroom, dining, lounge and 1 x large queen bedroom. Cozy up by the fireplace at wintertime or spill out onto the deck for a summer bbq when the weather is warm. The views on the deck are next level. Upstairs there is a second queen room, small bathroom and an additional bedroom with two single beds. Please know that the upstairs is accessed by a spiral stair case which if you had mobility issues may be problematic. They are also difficult to carry children upstairs etc. Please also note that currently the upstairs queen bedroom does not have blinds. The bedroom is north east facing so receives a lot of morning light. This was our main bedroom when we lived in the house and we loved it as it’s the best views in the house. If you prefer a dark room then I would suggest the queen bedroom downstairs or the single bedroom which has smaller south facing windows and remains dark without the lights on. All linen and bath towels are provided. Other things to note 1. Strictly no parties. Apollo Bay Ridge is a peaceful property that is shared with two smaller villas. We have cameras on the house perimeter. If you are found breaking this rule you will be asked to immediately leave and will not be refunded any remaining nights. 2. Maximum guests in the house is 6.
