Short walk to surf, shops and all the best things Torquay has to offer
TORQUAY RETREAT is a property second to none. Its great location will mean you can throw away the car keys, they won't be needed.
Located only 150m from the surf beach and the front beach, any desire will be satisfied whether it be a day surfing, playing at the beach with the family or going for a stroll around Cosy Corner to watching the wind and kite surfers off this picturesque surf coast.
You have the choice of dining in or going to one of the many cafes and restaurants at your doorstep. Alternatively the Torquay hotel is only a very short stroll away or you can enjoy a BBQ or picnic at the beach.
The Torquay township with it's supermarkets, shops, banks and many other facilities is an easy 5 minute walk away together with the new Torquay Central providing specialty shops to satisfy the shopper in all of us. If that is not enough every type of surf shop including Billabong, Quicksilver and Ripcurl are within walking distance.
For the sporting, there are golf courses and tennis courts close by and Go Ride A Wave just around the corner for those keen to learn how to surf.

Our group of 7 had a great stay at Paul and Wendy's place. The location is excellent, short walk to surf and front beach, and local shops. The house is very comfortable, clean, well laid out for a group and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this place and hope to return.
