A wonderful little place, close to the beach and a short drive into town. The owner was extremely helpful in communicating with us and the layout and facilities made it comfortable and welcoming. This is the second time we have stayed ant the property and intend to return if it’s available at the time.

I would have loved to give this a better rating as it has SO MUCH POTENTIAL but unfortunately the following made it not the comfortable stay we had hoped:
1. The mattress on main bed is hard and not the most comfortable.
2. Not even a couple of tea bags or coffee sachets on our arrival, we were planning to do our big grocery shop the next day!
3. Our first night, we were tired & hungry and just wanted to have a simple bbq, but the bbq did not relight after we had switched it off! Hubby’s a technician so did manage to fix it but it became a very stressful process!
4. Hot Water service is not instant so let the kids know they need to take 5 min showers or else no hot water to clean the dishes!
5. Advertised as Fire Deck (not sure what this meant) but if it was in reference to the fire place, don’t bother lighting up the wood, the fire wood is wet and the flame kept going out)! When I contacted the owner, he was dismissive and claimed the firewood was dry! So if you are expecting a fire place as advertised, it’s not going to happen! We love to stay at places with a fireplace, so not to have it on, was a huge disappointment for me!
5.0
We absolutely loved our stay! The house was spotlessly clean, the location to the beach is amazing, all within 5 mins drive into Apollo Bay!
Would highly recommend staying here for a relaxing beach getaway
5.0
Lovely unit. Idyllic location, listening to and watching the waves. Perfect location to launch from. Lorne to the east and Apollo Bay to the west. A couple of nice restaurants in Apollo Bay which is just over 5 minutes away. Only downside was some bike race which shut down the area. Annual event, I think, which, if aware, can be easily avoided.

Lovely place for a getaway. Nice quiet location across the road from the beach. Lots of bird life, little wrens and honey eaters in the flower garden next to the dining room window which i enjoyed watching.
Modern bathroom and good kitchen. The place was very clean and well maintained.
It was cooler weather for our stay, so we appreciated the heater and electric blanket on the bed, and the heat lamp in the bathroom. It was great having a laundry to wash our clothes and dry them in the clothes dryer.
We would definitely book again.

A fabulous return visit to our family fav place. Being so easy to access the beach, close to Apollo Bay and yet nicely affordable. Our little home away suits us perfectly to catch up together and enjoy some sun, sand, surf, sparkly and so much more too. Thanks again for a lovely time.
