Wonderful stay at this cosy Victorian retreat. Firewood heating, stunning living room views, and a fully equipped kitchen made it feel like a home away from home. Would happily return and highly recommend!

Lovely well appointed house with amazing views over the surf coast. Fire pit was a win. The lounge room has a great upgraded family L shaped lounge suite. Kitch facilities were great, all in all a lovely, well located peaceful retreat.

We had a fabulous getaway in April at Bass Retreat. The weather was great - we had a little bit of everything. Accommodation was very good although it seems that a few lights need new bulbs in the lounge/dining area.

Along the coast there are good surf spots at Johanna, Cumberland River, Wye River, Baldy Rock, Skene's Creek, Sawmills and Kennett River.
We Gotta Enjoy Summer
After months of winter, we could finally enjoy the sunny days...

Long Tide Jewelry
Dale was kind enough to give us a bit of a tour as the sun was dipping past the horizon, we wandered around the grassy area while the dogs chased a ball and stopped by Jackie’s studio where was finishing off some jewellery, Jackie incorporates vintage glass and other sourced materials into her works
Apollo Bay Beach
During cold days this is the perfect place to slow down and listen to the ocean! Great for yoga sessions, morning cold plunges, picnics, and walks.
Explore The Great Ocean Road
The photo ops are endless! Every time we visit, it still takes my breath away with what an incredible feat of engineering the road itself is. Views for days, turquoise ocean, whale-spotting out to sea and koala-spotting up the trees. What more could you want!?
