The house was comfortable and clean with views of the ocean. Our only worry is that the garden was not fenced and so we could not let our dog outside without supervision.

Comfort in a great location
Beautifully equipped comfortable holiday cottage situated a few minutes’ walk from the sea. Generous provision of everything needed for a relaxing time away. As advertised, it would be ideal for visitors with a disability and for people with a pet. We used it as a jumping off point to explore the Great Ocean Road and the Otways. Apollo Bay was good for eating out and shopping. A peaceful haven. Thanks to our invisible host Tanja.

A true getaway
The property at number 9 is a gem. Clean, comfortable, good location and with a sea view. Every thing was though of from milk in the fridge to coffee beans and a grinder, bathroom necessities and a very comfy bed. The proximity to the owners was not a problem., Although I saw them once or twice they maintained the privacy of the letting. Close to the beach for my boys to walk, close to Apollo Bay and its cafes and restaurants. Priced is applicable for the type of accommodation. A nice experience.

Wow balcony and location!
What a really nice place this is, one of the two favourites in the whole trip! The balcony and lounge and kitchen are great! The place is really nice and from here you can drive up to Beech Forest which is really good! Also during our stay (my friend and her cocker spaniel and myself) there was a bushfire in Kenneth River and Tanja’s daughter kindly came to warn us of this but also reassured us that it was under control. Great place to stay and great hosts!

Pet friendly and accessible accommodation is hard to find. Fisheye 9 had both. Clean, wheelchair friendly and in a great location. Our Japanese spitz enjoyed the local beach, we enjoyed the seafood at Apollo Bay. Definitely on our list of places to come back to.

I give this 1 Star just for the view. Not worth the money
To arrive buggered n face half a roll of damp toilet paper was the start. The lookong for fly spray n the can in the cupboard was empty as well as diswashing liquid. So after a 3 hour drive have to go into town to get the basics which you expect for 300+ a night. The owner Tanja needs to update everything. The 2 seater couch so uncomfortable n cookware my God spend a couple of dollars n upgrade. The tv was the size of n Ipad so for me to watch the news was hard. Plus make sure you have plenty of data as theres no wifi. Its just her house as the nbn is in her neighbours homes. Lastly do not park your car in drive unless you want cockatoo crap all over your duco every day. Sorry Tanya dont rip people off. I grew up down there and yr place reminds me of 45 years ago. Plus its not family friendly. Ud be lucky to swing a cat in there. Please revise your description of this property buy a new couch invest in cookware and omg make sure you have fully stocked basics. Not to return. Theres plenty of places that are much nicer and cheaper with the views.
