Short walk to surf, shops and all the best things Torquay has to offer

TORQUAY RETREAT is a property second to none. Its great location will mean you can throw away the car keys, they won't be needed.

Located only 150m from the surf beach and the front beach, any desire will be satisfied whether it be a day surfing, playing at the beach with the family or going for a stroll around Cosy Corner to watching the wind and kite surfers off this picturesque surf coast.

If that is not enough every type of surf shop including Billabong, Quicksilver and Ripcurl are within walking distance.

Great location and very comfortable
The location is great for access on foot to a variety fabulous beaches, coastal walks and cafes/restaurants. The accommodation was really comfortable with a variety of living/balcony spaces. I recommend a cool drink/cocktail on the front balcony in the late afternoon after day at the beach and before a delicious meal.

Above expectations
The property exceeded our expectations by presenting better than the photos indicate. The location is fantastic a 5 minute stroll to the surf and front beaches. The large verandah with the large outdoor table, chairs and cushions was the perfect place for our Christmas lunch! The kitchen was extremely well stocked with crockery, cutlery, platters, bowls etc., almost everything you could want/need. We highly recommend this property, thank you very much Paul and Wendy, we hope to be back :)

Comfortable and super convenient
This is a very comfortable, quiet and spacious property which is close to everything - shops, restaurants, beaches and playgrounds. Nice to park the car and not move it for a week. The property is really well equipped for cooking and eating at home as well, which we prefer. But excellent takeaway and restaurant options are literally round the corner. Lovely stay, lovely spot
