Beautiful house, perfect for our weekend away with friends and close to the beach which was only about a 10 minute walk. The house had everything we needed with excellent cooling throughout the house ...(both reverse cycle cooling and fans) which we needed for a couple of very hot days. Unfortunately we had to cut our stay short by a day due to bushfires in the area and needing to evacuate- Sharon the host was kind enough to offer an extra night for free if we chose to stay which was very kind of her. All in all I would book here again as the house was clean, great location, had an enclosed yard perfect for our dog and a great balcony for an arvo bbq dinner.

Loved our stay here! The house is fantastic, clean and has all that you need for a wonderful time. Short walk to town and to the beach. We loved being able to take our groodle Murphy with us. Would definitely book again.

Great place to stay, beautiful house with lots of space. Nice and close to everything. Best part was the peaceful walk down to the beach with our doggo :)

Sunset Walk On Apollo Bay Beach

We caught the last 20 minutes of light with a beautiful sunset walk along the beach, the perfect way to end our day.

Great Ocean Walk

There is nothing like the Great Ocean Walk located on the Great Ocean Road region between Apollo Bay and the iconic Twelve Apostles, the trail follows the coastline for more than 100km. Admire this spectacular coast and the changes in landscape each day.

Apollo Bay

Check out Apollo bay Beach and the local restaurants & shops.

Standup Paddle Boarding Apollo Bay

After visiting three different rental shops along the main street in Apollo Bay we found the best price and some local advice on where to take our boards for a paddle.

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!?
