Our house at Peterborough is a modern take on a 1960s beach house, set over 3 levels. The house features an eclectic choice of both modern and retro furnishings. Enjoy relaxing in front of the wood fire, in the upstairs loungeroom while overlooking the Southern Ocean. Alternatively relax on the north facing rear deck, or in one of the 2 hammocks with your favourite book. The main bedroom also has ocean views and a spacious ensuite. The third bedroom or bunkroom, has a tri-bunk (with double bed on the bottom and single on top) and 2 regular sets of bunks. The well equipped kitchen features a large 5 burner oven for cooking up a storm. You can chose to dine at the island bench for breakfast or sit at the baltic pine 12 seater dining table, with bench seats set into the corner. The fire pit in the back yard provides a great spot for toasting marshmallows. NO PETS PLEASE. A short stroll across the road takes you to the protected Wild Dog Cove for a swim, stroll or snorkel. Only a short walk and you will find Peterborough's oceanside golf course, shops, surf spots, tennis courts, estuary, playground and foreshore reserve. Peterborough general store has essentials and a well stocked wine selection. Peterborough House does a great coffee during the day and delicious authentic curries in the evening. You can also grab fish & chips or pizza at the Peterborough Takeaway. Food lovers can enjoy the local 12 Apostles Gourmet Food Trail, encompassing the Port Campbell, Timboon and Peterborough areas and visit such places as the Timboon Cheesery, Gorge Chocolates and Timboon distillery.

We had a great family weekend away staying at this house. Love that the bedrooms are on 3 levels as we could keep the kids seperate and let the grandparents sleep in, with the kids room having toys to keep everyone busy until everyone else was up.
Beaches are close, check-inwas easy, and the owner was very responsive and helpful with suggestions on where to go. Recommend as a great place for a visit.
A gorgeous beach house with everything at your fingertips. The house was perfect for two families with young kids. A quiet little town with plenty to do in neighbouring towns. A great place for a weekend away or a week away. Our hosts were very welcoming with a welcome gift pack of goodies. It was a nice little treat to walk into on the bench! :)
A lovely getaway for two families. Excellent large kitchen and dining area perfect for family meals and board games. Great kids bunk room with relaxing and comfortable sitting room upstairs looking out onto the Southern Ocean. The photos don't convey how comfortable and well laid out this property is. We didn't take advantage of the outdoor area but will definitely be back to try an evening fire pit session.
This property was excellent in so many ways. Great design, well appointed with everything required, and more. Terrific location with ocean views and easy access to coastal rock formations. Terrific value especially for larger number of guests. Couldn’t fault anything about this property
Fabulous beach house for a few friends or the entire family. Everything needed was available to enjoy some time away from the crowds in a stunning area of Vic. The house was homely and comfortable with great views from the living area. Great communication from host. Would highly recommend!
We had such a wonderful time at this house. The house is filled with character and comfort. We felt right at home, our kids loved it and the location is the perfect jumping off point for enjoying the best of the Twelve Apostles and close sights. I highly recommend this house, and we will definitely be back!
