Second time staying at IL Mare
Loved our second visit to this property. The views and sounds of the Ocean are lovely and a very short walk away if you want to swim. The upstairs living area is huge with plenty of room to cook, eat and relax. Having three bathrooms makes it easy for everyone to clean up ready for the next day's adventure.

Wonderful Break
The accommodation was wonderful and relaxing and a great place to unwind. Short stroll to the beach and just a 5 min drive to Apollo Bay for any shopping needs. The place had everything we needed for our stay.

Winter getaway
Amazing views and lovely house. Fireplace and multiple heaters so the whole house was warm even though it was very cold outside. Beds were comfortable, showers had good water pressure and kitchen had a good range of cooking equipment. The host provided good info about the house and some tips for things to do in the area. Would definitely stay again.

Sea views for miles
This is a lovely property which was very well presented. The upstairs living area and deck is a great place to lay around and enjoy the sea air. The downstairs bedrooms are lovely.

Beautiful, relaxin and spacious
Views are heavenly, the accommodation is perfect in everyway. The house itself is on a quiet street and so your only noise is the ocean. Lovely way to fall asleep. 5 minute drive to Apollo Bay but with the balcony and full equipped kitchen you only needed supplies before you could hide away at this house. Max the host was very quick with responses and helpful on any questions asked. Would fully recommend this accommodation.
