Neat and modern house in great location

Enjoyed our stay and found the house very attractive, neat, well kept. The beautiful garden with native blooming wildflowers is a highlight. Enjoyable to sit on the porch! Pleasing to see solar panels. 300m walk to the beach is very convenient.

Great little spot for my wife and two kids, plenty of room. The location was amazing, we walked everywhere and to the beach each day. The food works is at the end of the road which was great.

Great getaway

The photos weren’t lying. The house and garden were wonderful. Everything was clean. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom very good size. We felt at home. Five minutes walk to shops, cafes, restaurants. Good heating system for winter. Has reversed cycling so summer should be cool. I would recommend this house. I would definitely go and stay again. Diana is a wonderful host.

Clean property close to town

Had a lovely stay here over the weekend of the Great Ocean Road Running Festival. The property is very close to the main strip of town and the beach making it very convenient and off street parking behind a closed gate allowed for car-free weekend. The garden is large and beautifully maintained. Really lovely to look out on to from the living room. The property itself is very clean and modern with brand new appliances. Would definitely recommend and will definitely try to stay here on any return trips to Apollo Bay.

Property is beautiful, house is clean and comfortable, landscaping is amazing and only a five minute walk to all the shops, restaurants and beach. If we ever make it back to Australia this is where we would stay while in the Apolo Bay area.
