A perfect getaway with stunning ocean views. Great location, a short walk to everything you need as well as both main beach and back beach - ideal if you are wanting to escape the crowds. Loved our stay!

Light filled and comfy (for the furry friends and hoomans). Great location for town and beach access, and the start of the Great Ocean Walk.
