Had a memorable stay in this place. The host, Max, coordinated with us since the reservation was made 3 months prior. The quality of the accommodation and the views were exceptional. Max was always on hand to help with any queries and was flexible with early check-in and late check-out. Highly recommended.

Our stay in this home was fantastic, highlighted by Max's generous communication. The accommodation had everything we needed. There was a good supply of small personal additional items - handsoap, shampoo/conditioner, tissues (both facial and toilet) - in regards to laundry supplies, there was an abundance of laundry pods and a very generous supply of necessities in the kitchen. We were impressed with the small touches of fresh herbs on the kitchen sink and a ready stash of supplies in the pantry.The house itself was clean and comfortable; the ambience beautiful (incredible outlook over the ocean, with beautiful breezes). Morning and evening visits by the resident parrot families. A veritable supply of board games and a tv upstairs and downstairs. Max's communication was quick and nothing was a trouble. We had inclement weather during our stay which made staying in for a day unavoidable - but the house was cozy and inviting. The drive into Apollo Bay itself was quick and the bakery soon became a favourite stop-in along with the "Shelter Cafe". This was truly a fabulous find, with wonderful hosts. We definitely hope to return.

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Max. My family and I have loved this part of the Great Ocean Road for many years, and we’re passionate about sharing Marengo Views with guests. I work in technology, but my favourite place to unwind is by the ocean. We’ve thoughtfully equipped the home with the comforts we’d want ourselves—from premium amenities and fast Wi-Fi to spaces designed for relaxing and taking in the spectacular views. I’m always happy to share local recommendations and help make your stay as memorable as possible.

Why they chose this property

We’ve been escaping to Marengo for family holidays for more than 20 years, and it eventually became the home of Marengo Views. What keeps bringing us back is the peaceful atmosphere, stunning coastline and slower pace of life. Wake to birdsong, fall asleep to the sound of the waves, walk to the beach or the Great Ocean Walk, and enjoy being surrounded by nature while still being just minutes from Apollo Bay. It’s a place where we truly relax, reconnect and create lasting family memories.

What makes this property unique

Marengo Views is perched on a clifftop above the Marengo Reef Marine Sanctuary, offering uninterrupted 180° Southern Ocean views from the living areas and master bedroom. Guests often tell us the views are even better than the photos. Watch seals on the reef below, enjoy spectacular sunrises from the balconies, and walk to Harrison’s Beach, the Marengo Rock Pools and the Great Ocean Walk in just minutes. With premium comforts including a Breville Barista Touch coffee machine, dedicated ocean-view workspace, fast Wi-Fi and EV charging, Marengo Views offers a relaxing coastal escape that’s difficult to leave.
