Description

The Beach House at Skenes Creek (formerly called the Deckhouse) is a beautifully crafted, environmentally friendly 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house located on a fantastically elevated position opposite Skenes Creek beach, on the great ocean road, 5 kms to Apollo Bay. It is next door to our other property called the Treehouse, both can be booked at the same time, sleeping 8 people between them and ideal for joint family holidays but with your own space and facilities

The views are sublime. Sit on the huge entertaining deck and watch the ocean roll in through the gum trees. Every room has a view, you can see the ocean from both bedrooms.

The state of the art modern kitchen adjoins the open plan dining and sitting room with a wood fire on the upper level, whilst the bedrooms and bathrooms are downstairs, there is an ensuite to the master bedrooom and a queen size bed. The twin room has 2 singles which can be joined to make a king bed.

Linen and breakfast provisions are available on request for a small additional charge. If you bring your own linen, all beds have pillows and doonas.

Location, location, location

This part of the Great Ocean Rd is simply stunning. You can organise beach horse rides on the neighbouring beach, explore Apollo Bay with it's great shops and cafes, charter a deep sea fishing boat, play a round or 2 of golf, whale watch and of course visit the world famous 12 Apostles which are just down the road. Scenic helicopter flights can be arranged.

Great for larger groups

Combined with the Treehouse next door, you can sleep 12 in splendid comfort with all your own facilities and decks on both properties large enough for group entertaining. We also have 3 other properties close by, Willowhaven, Sandy Blue and Beach Gum.

Guest Reviews

 
  • "Nice and neat house. Good for 4 people. We do enjoy our stay. But a bit cold at night when in bed, suggested to provide electric blankets. We also enjoy our meal at Christ's restaurant."

  • "Pristine accomodation with every thing we needed. Minute walk to the beach. Lovely deck set amongst gum trees. Listening to the surf at night a real treat for city weary ears. Have recommended to others."

  • "A trulely delightful house! So light and airey and very comfortable. The location to the beach was great and the fact that it was away from the main road was good also. Very quiet and peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay."

  • "WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO STAY AT THE DECK HOUSE DURING OUR HOLIDAY TO AUSTRALIA IN DECEMBER 2007. THE HOUSE IS LIKE A SHOW HOME; MODERN, INTERESTING, SUPERBLY FURNISHED AND SPOTLESSLY CLEAN. THE BEACH IS A MINUTE AWAY AND APOLLO BAY WITH ITS GOOD AMENITIES A COUPLE OF MINUTES DRIVE AWAY. A GREAT BASE TO VISIT THE OTWAYS, TWELVE APOSTLES, TORQUAY & MUCH MORE. WHAT CAN WE SAY.....WHAT A FANTASTIC HOUSE! WHAT A PLACE TO SPEND OUR CHRISTMAS DAY! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. BOOK IT!!!"
    Monaghan Family, February 2008
     
  • "We loved our stay!!! We wanted a hidden, quiet and tranquil place to stay and found that being 'amongst the trees' with glimpes of the water made it 'just what the doctor ordered'. It is obvious that the owner has taken pride in choosing the decor and the general 'set up' of the place. It positioning (so close to the water) adds to the enjoyment. We look forward to returning."

  • "This was our second stay at the Deckhouse, and it was just as relaxing as before. We are really glad to have finally found such a comfortable place to be able to keep coming back to!"
