A short 6 km drive will see you in Apollo Bay where you can take advantage of one of the many cafes/restaurants that dot the foreshore, venture into the super markets to stock up on all the essentials, enjoy a meal/drink at one of several hotels, while you are here, take advantage of the pristine Apollo Bay beach, indulge yourselves in the retail outlets featuring unique giftware/clothing and then returning to your little piece of paradise.

Staying at this property it was evident the property was not clean. The shower had used soap toilets and showers were not clean. The cleanliness was not at a good standard; dirt, dust, grim and dog hair all over the house. I would like to not leave a terrible review online, i would like to give the owners a second chance opportunity to show me the property at cleanliness standards. My suggestion is a couple of nights complimentary on my next booking. I would much prefer to give the owners a second chnace rather than automatically leaving a very honest and daming review.

Great spot, nice house to see a beautiful part of the world.
- There were no photos of the second bedroom (fully grown adults using a bunk bed was uncomfortable). - Previous renters must have had dogs in the house (wasn't cleaned or swept properly). - Lights in bedrooms needed changing (should have been done before we got there). - A vacuum would have been a good inclusion. - Overall a good stay in a nice house.

Comfortable retreat with ocean views
A lovely spot close to the beach, pet friendly and well equipped for cooking. Unfortunately the sleeping accomodation did not work well (beds very small and uncomfortable) and the lack of wifi and TV reception was challenging. However we enjoyed our stay overall as we love Apollo Bay and the Otways.

Good family getaway
We enjoyed our stay in this basic, but comfortable, beach house. It was very quiet, close to Skenes Creek beach, and had a well fenced yard to accommodate our dog.
