Five minute scenic, coastal drive to Apollo Bay township (5kms away).

Massive timber deck, with 5 burner gas BBQ, drinks fridge, outdoor dining & deck chairs. Enjoy meals outdoors with some of the best beach views along the Great Ocean Road. Hand feed Cockatoos, Rosellas and King Parrots at the same time.
Well-equipped kitchen with new gas stove, new large french door fridge, dishwasher and microwave
