Absolutely perfect
We loved staying at this house for our final week of school holidays! The location made it super easy for us to access the beautiful Skenes Creek for a walk and swim, and was close enough to Apollo Bay for us to get in for a meal, swim and to visit the carnival! It’ll be even better when the walking track is built! The house was clean, bright and had lots of places to sit and read, relax, snooze, laugh and generally enjoy each others company with an amazing view. Thank you!

Short but lovely stay
My husband and I enjoyed our time at this lovely property that had everything we needed in a beautiful beach house environment. We particularly enjoyed our evenings sitting on the front deck looking at the the beautiful evening sky. And a lovely chair in the backyard that was the perfect spot for reading a book.
