We had a lovely time this weekend. House was extremely clean and extremely cosey! We had a fire both nights and it was fantastic! Location is amazing, walking distance to the beach and very close to the main strip. Definitely recommend!

The Surfers Palace Torquay was the perfect spot for a short trip away for my son and I. The location was brilliant, bring so close to the beach made getting to the water a breeze and we were able to w...alk into town for a bite to eat. Easily clocking up our 10,000 steps each day.
Bindy was the perfect host and the house was exactly as described. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone wanting a quiet stay in Torquay

Froth levels were high after a wave starved few weeks, so after a morning coffee, our first stop was Winki Pop, located alongside the famed Bells Beach, for some fun small waves.

Painkalac Creek Estuary is approximately 3.5km in length. It is a beautiful coastal lagoon system which attracts the spotted green frog and the eastern banjo frog (Pobblebonk).
