Great house for a beach holiday for two families (and their different pets) with the separate downstairs unit. Gorgeous outlook and views from the main house, abundant birdlife (and a resident koala!), and easy walk to the beach and Great Ocean Road track. House is spacious, comfortable and not too fancy so makes for a very good stay with pets and kids. Lovely wrap around verandah.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Marengo property. It was roomy and comfortable with heaps to do for the kids. The views of the sea were fantastic and we were minutes from the beach and the Apollo Bay shopping strip. The property was perfect for us (2 families with 8 adults and 4 kids) with ample room. There was even a family of king parrots who came to visit us everyday. Would come back again definitely.

Amazing view and walk to the beach
It was lovely waking up each morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean before walking down to the beach. Kids particularly loved the resident parrots that came to say hello. Bedding was great for a family.

We loved our stay here. The house was clean and very well stocked with all the necessities. The beds were comfortable and the view was lovely. The location was perfect with the Great Ocean Walk at the end of the street. We brought our dog along and he loved the balcony that went all around the house. He also loved the walks. The bird life was lovely too. The separate little unit downstairs was also ideal as my son and his wife stayed for the weekend. We would definitely stay at this property in the future. Thanks.

Good basic accomodation
We stayed here for a weekend away. The house is very basic but in a great location with views of the ocean!
The second living area is not connected to the main part of the house. This was not described in the property description, which is a shame.

Great stay!
Terrific view, comfortable and clean. Loads of places to sleep! A good selection of books to browse too. The location was fantastic - out of the way - a quiet, dead end street - but oh so close to the Great Ocean Walk, with numerous paths to sandy and rocky beaches. We had some spectacular pink sunrises and deep red sunsets.
It was windy when we were there and Marengo had a blackout, but that was fixed fairly quickly. The staff at the Real Estate Office were polite, friendly and professional, and handled our phone query about resetting the fuse box promptly and efficiently. The electric stove could do with an upgrade (it didn't heat up that well...or maybe I'm just too used to my quick gas stove, but everything else was A1. If you bring a dog in winter, if it's a small dog, think about bringing a kennel for it too as the balcony is secure but unprotected from the wind.
A great stay, especially for nature lovers!

Shocking experience with estate agent
Having asked two weeks prior to stay by email if we could possibly check out a bit later Easter Monday - their next day email reply stated - these are exact words from Christine ``` Checkout is strictly 3pm after Easter stays``. We checked out at 1pm and they took $45 from the credit card I had used to pay the booking (not even the one given on Bond) No explanation as to why, given the above email response from them regarding check out time, nothing at all. My email asking why (showing them their email) fell on deaf (and clearly rude and very unbusiness-like) ears. I will never use them again .

Great Location, Bad Customer Service
Great Location in Marengo; The Accommodation is OK (3 stars) but Great Ocean Road Real Estate customer service is very average.

Wonderful Family Holiday
Four of us (two sisters, brother and niece) really enjoyed our stay in this lovely house at Marengo Reef. The great variety of parrots and other birds visiting the balcony were a real treat, especially for our niece from UK. It was a very short stroll to the headland walking trail and an easy walk to the beach.

Spectacular views
If you are looking for a relaxing getaway then look no further. From the lounge room, bedroom and deck you get spectacular ocean views. You are so close you can hear the waves as you drop off to sleep. If you like birds then prepare to be wowed. The native birds fly right onto the deck and have no problem getting up close. The house was clean on arrival and is quite welcoming. The gas log fire heater is good for the cold nights and really adds some charm. The beds are quite comfy and allow you to get a good nights rest. The unit dowstairs serves as the ideal teenage retreat. The only two negatives for me were the bathroom and kitchen in the main house. The bathroom really needs a make over and update and the lack of an oven really makes cooking for a family tricky. Apart from those two things loved the house, had an amazing holiday and would reccommend the house to others.

Lovely place to stay
If you are looking for a place to unwind with the sounds of the ocean then this is the place. The views from the deck and the whole right side of the house are incredible. You can sit on the deck watching the waves roll in and enjoying the bird life that comes in very close. The house is warm and comfortable with an array of dvd's, books and games to keep everyone occupied. The downstairs unit offers some seperate accommodation if you are travelling with older teenagers or in a group. The only downsides are the bathroom and the kitchen in the main house. The bathroom really needs an update and while the kitchen provides all the pots and cutlery you need the lack of an oven really makes it difficult to cook for a family if you feel like eating in. Overall my family and i thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider returning for another stay in the future.
