We provide quality woolen doonas and pillows, linen can be arranged for a small fee.

Just a short walk from Apollo Bay’s stunning beach's (500 meters) and only minutes from the Apollo Bay shopping / restaurant precinct, this spacious pet friendly home is ideal for those seeking a peaceful getaway or an adventure-filled family escape.
Apollo Bay offers something for everyone whether you would like to enjoy swimming, hiking, fishing or visiting local cafes and restaurants all just moments from your doorstep. The golf course and Apollo Bay marina is only minutes away if you are keen on a round or want to hit the high seas with your boat.
Just inland from Apollo Bay, the Great Otway National Park is a lush, temperate rainforest with walking trails, and diverse wildlife. Enjoy hiking to the many surrounding waterfalls, mounting biking along the many purpose built trails, or enjoy tourist favourites such as the Otway Fly Tree Top Adventures. Whatever takes your fancy don’t forget to keep an eye out for native animals like koalas and kangaroos in their natural habitat.
Our cosy beach house provides open-plan living which is light and airy, with a spacious lounge area featuring comfortable seating, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The large windows frame our beautiful garden and deck. The fully equipped kitchen, with pod coffee machine, provides everything you need to prepare a delicious meal.
A sun-drenched deck surrounded by nature (including friendly King Parrots and a Koala who love to come and say hello) provides a space to unwind and relax after a day of exploring the rugged coastline or the nearby Otway National Park. The space has plenty of seating and with the garden provides a safe environment for kids and pets to play. A BBQ is also available making the space a perfect area to enjoy a bottle of wine and dinner with family and friends.
The beach house boasts three bedrooms with bedding for 9 guests. The master bedroom includes a queen-size bed and trundle, with an ensuite, parents retreat area and workspace. The other two rooms are equally cosy with a comfortable queen bed in one and 2 sets of bunks in the other, perfect for families, couples, or small groups.
Although we haven't provided linen up until now, we are pleased to announce that a linen service can now be arranged at the request of our guests for a small fee. We do provide quality woolen doonas and pillows as part of your booking.
If you haven't requested supplied linen, please remember to bring towels/tea towels bath mats and fitted sheets/pillow cases and Doona covers. Thank you.

We do provide some kitchen condiments for your use and also set you up with plenty of dishwashing tablets, toilet paper, washing powder etc However, with large groups, if these run out it’s the guest’s responsibility to purchase more of their own.
We look forward to hosting you for a short break away or a lengthy beach holiday, please reach out if you have any queries.
