Nice property with a wonderful view. Not a large home but good size for our stay, 2 couples. And the best part, dog friendly and just a short walk across the road to the beach. Very pleasant relaxing stay.

Watching the waves

A very special place, for its position and also its design. Yes, it's close to the road, but a landscaped native garden hides the traffic and brings little birds. The superb view from the open living first floor (beautifully furnished) is down to the creek and the breakers, and beyond to the lights of Apollo Bay. A wonderful stay!

This place is Magic. We had to drag ourselves out to do things. We did not want to leave the whole time we were there. It is just such a relaxing home with amazing views and you feel at so chilled as soon as you arrive. We absolutely loved everything about it.

Perfect property with perfect views

it was great that all rooms had large beds. When my friends and I go away we often find one of us has to sleep in a single bed ... and a bonus that all rooms had a beautiful view to the beach. My dog was very happy to sit and look at the view also :) The house was super clean and well stocked in the kitchen. We were initially worried that the street noise would be a problem but we heard nothing at all. Then again the windows were all closed to keep the warmth in. Log fire was also welcomed. Beach walks were amazing ... Definitely would revisit ...

Seaside bliss

We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property and I must say, it exceeded all of our expectations. The property itself is impeccably maintained and the rooms are spacious and clean. We didn’t need to pack anywhere near what we needed to, the house has all the things you need! One of the highlights of our stay was the breathtaking view from our room. I couldn't get enough of the picturesque scenery, which added an extra layer of tranquility to our experience. The property's location also proved to be convenient, with easy access to the beach which was fabulous. Everyone, including our dog had an incredible time away. We didn’t want to leave the house! Whether for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a business trip, this property caters to all needs. The combination of exceptional service, stunning aesthetics, and convenient location make it a top choice for me. I can't wait to return!"

Fantastic views!

If I could win Lotto, I'd buy it ! It did rain most of the time - but we didn't care, we had comfy chairs, a cosy fire, and an ever changing view watching the waves crash in. (Food, wine and conversation sold separately) The fur baby loved it too, very pet friendly.
