Paradise on the Great Ocean Road
Adventure in Skenes Creek, Great Ocean Road, VIC, AU
Hidden away in the hillside of Skenes Creek is this slice of paradise. We arrived as the sun was setting, the birds were singing on the balcony and the two (not one, two) local koalas were hanging out in the trees above. We couldn't believe how special this stay was. We spent our mornings with a warm cup of coffee watching the sunrise from the couch. After days filled with adventures, we cooked up meals in the massive kitchen to enjoy overlooking the panoramic ocean views & a little foosball of course.
With great views, beautiful local wildlife, an outdoor bbq for those summer feeds and a comfortable home to stay in, this place was an absolute dream to stay in.
