About this house rental
Situated in Apollo Bay, this lovely house for $374 per night is a great choice for your next break. Located in Marengo, Amaroo is a two storey North facing house with great views over Marengo Beach to Apollo Bay township and rolling hills. It's only a 500m walk to Marengo Beach for swimming, surfing, fishing or exploring rock pools. The two story house has external entry to the 1st floor. Enter into the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, electric oven and cook-top, dishwasher and large fridge. A breakfast bar separates the kitchen with the dining area. The new dining setting is a great space for gathering together and discussing the days activities, and flows out on to the deck through sliding glass doors. The lounge room has new leather lounge suites, TV, DVD, surround sound, and opens on to the North facing deck. A reverse cycle heater and air conditioner keeps this 1st floor comfortable, along with ceiling fans in the lounge, dining, and master bedroom. The large sun drenched deck runs the entire width of the house. There is a Weber BBQ and 8 seated outdoor setting - perfect to sit out on the deck and enjoy the sunshine, ocean views, and hear the birds in the surrounding native trees. The master bedroom is on the 1st floor as well, featuring a Queen size bed and access onto the North deck. The adjoining large bathroom has a bath and separate glass framed shower. Downstairs is a second living area with TV, board games & books, two further bedrooms and the second bathroom. There is also a fully equipped laundry. The yard is fully fenced, with a mix of lawn, gravel area and native garden. Parking is outdoor next to the house on gravel at the end of the tree lined driveway. There is a walking and cycling path from Marengo to Apollo Bay township (2.5km), the Great Ocean Walk, and walks to the Marengo Reserve to explore in the area too.

We love staying in Marengo, and this house is walking distance to the beach. We loved feeding the daily bird visitors, koala watching, paddle boarding, swimming and walking on the beach. Perfect way to end the school holidays!

Lovely spacious property with lots of room for up to 8. We were just 2 and used only the top floor. Modern kitchen, well-equipped (although would have liked paper towels to be supplied) and lovely view from the upper level.

A beautiful house, with lovely views of the surf. The accomodation was spacious and set in a quiet spot among trees. Apollo Bay was a 25 minute walk away, with 2 supermarkets and a choice of great cafes, restaurants and takeaway places. The communication from the rental group was clear and welcoming.

This was a beautiful property but we were disappointed to find it wasn't as clean as you might expect for a holiday rental. The carpets in the lounge room and bedroom were covered in dog hair and I found myself sneezing throughout the entire weekend as a result. It was also really surprising that there was no WiFi at the property, which is not something you expect in rental accommodation in 2021.

The property had a lovely view and was comfortable. However it lack all the little touches that makes good accommodation, GREAT.
Simple things like oil, salt and pepper in the kitchen, a clothesline and wifi would have made our stay much more enjoyable.
The expected cleaning upon departure was also a little excessive considering a clean fee is charged. To expect that no sand to be left behind at a beach house seems a tall ask.
It was nice but I would not rave about it.

I loved Amaroo. It's tucked away in a quiet street with access to the Great Ocean Road. It's super close to the GOR but due to all the gorgeous trees and ferns you can't hear the cars go by. We spent much of our time out on the deck enjoying the gorgeous view. There's all the appliances and utensils you could need so it's a wonderful home away from home. Our pup loved staying there with us, running around in the back garden and sitting on the deck lazing in the sun. We will definitely be back soon! :)

Overall the property was really awesome, so close to everything and felt right at home. The only improvements I would say are first the lock on the flyscreen door as once it locked us out on our stay due to unknown reasons which is quite dangerous as I almost could not get back in (the hole in the door was already there too and have photos if required). In addition it would be smart to tell the customer where the AC remote is kept as it took a while for me to find it being on next to the TV in the corner. The leftmost power outlet closest to the fridge, the left electornic point in the two power outlets is broken when you flick it on and needs to be fixed as it tripped the entire house's power outlets and we could not fix this on the last morning. Furthermore if it is possible,cutting down the trees a little on neighbouring properties would work wonders as it would provide a fantastic view to the beach on top of the one that was already there which was ok. Also an investment in some non stick fry pans and or some new kitchen cooking appliances would be awesome as some of the items were very old and one pan even still had black dirt on it from the last time people used the place. However the rest of the stay was perfect and would come back again.

Brilliant but a few things which can be fixed to enhance the overall property

Overall we enjoyed our stay.
Amaroo is a nice place to stay. We enjoyed the abundance of beautiful birds and the friendly koala in the tree outside the front door. The accommodation was clean and tidy and comfortable. The let downs were all the outside lighting on the deck was not working except 1. No lights working in the range hood. Beds down stairs were comfortable but cold. General maintenance of the exterior of the property around doorways patio areas was dirty.If these things were maintained then we would rate our stay 10/10. Beautiful view, peaceful and quiet.
