Well equipped house but beds are terrible
Our overall stay was very disappointing. We stayed for 5 nights in March. The beds where so uncomfortable that we all ended up with bad backs and my husband ended up sleeping on the couch. The cleaning was not great and there was water damage on walls. We could hardly see out of the windows as they where full of dirt. On a positive note the place was very close to ocean and we had some nice walks there.

Great setup in a great spot; view of the ocean and Apollo Bay was terrific! Even had a growling koala wandering past the bedroom in the middle of the night!

Perfection
The property was exactly as shown in the listing. The view was spectacular, all amenities were functional and of a good standard. With two young children under 8, having a space where they could have fun and not have to be quiet was fantastic as there was a descent distance between us and the neighbors. Plenty of space, beds were comfy, and the place felt like home. We will definitely be staying again.

Beautiful getaway
This place is in an amazing location with wonderful views of the ocean. It ticks all the boxes! A relaxing spa bath while watching the sunset was an added bonus as well as a warm fire for the cold evenings.

GREAT LOCATION
Great location, close to Apollo Bay but not too close. Easy access to main road, but away from traffic noise. Still able to hear the surf rolling in at night. Good facilities in accommodation, adequate heating and plenty of hot water.
