The Lookout 3BR Ocean views
This property offers a Stay 7, PAY 5 deal excluding long weekends & school holidays from 17 January until 31 October 2026. -
Escape to The Lookout, the perfect summer retreat offering breathtaking ocean views, nestled in the serene beauty of Apollo Bay. Positioned just a short 5-minute stroll to the golden sands and within easy walking distance of the lively town center, this property effortlessly combines comfort, style, and convenience.
Spread across two levels, the home is designed to maximize its stunning surroundings. The ground floor welcomes you with a polished stone entry leading to two cozy bedrooms (a queen room and a twin room), a modern bathroom, and a convenient laundry. Step out onto the lower deck and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the terraced native garden – a serene spot to unwind.
Upstairs, the first level opens into a sunlit haven with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. Here, you’ll be mesmerized by panoramic views of the ocean, Apollo Bay, and the charming harbor. A second queen bedroom and bathroom are also located on this level. Slide open the doors to the expansive upper deck, where outdoor furniture invites you to dine alfresco or simply soak up the coastal breeze.
Outside, summer living is elevated with a pebbled concrete patio featuring a hot outdoor shower, a gas BBQ, and a 7-piece outdoor dining set. Perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach or enjoying long summer evenings with loved ones.
Whether you're savoring the views, strolling to the beach, or exploring the vibrant town, The Lookout offers the ultimate base for your summer getaway. Ample parking and the charm of polished timber floors complete the picture of effortless coastal living.
Your summer escape starts here—welcome to The Lookout.

Very good

Unfortunately, this property fell short of the beautiful pictures online. The house was not clean. The first thing that hits you as you walk in is the terrible smell of damp and mould downstairs. This is clearly an issue as the owners have left notes on the windows asking you to leave them open for airflow.
The master bedroom was extremely dusty and had coffee stains all over the bedside tables and wall.
It has random crappy furniture and doesn't seem to be well maintained at all.
The only redeeming feature is the stunning view, but you don't really want to be inside that long to enjoy it. Luckily had some sunny weather to stay at the beach! Great location and nice and quiet- but I really wouldn't recommend this house at all. Sad because it could be so lovely if a little time and care went into it. Head to the caravan park next door- great views and much cleaner cabins!

back garden needs cleaning, home of a large rat,
hot water in shower is a trickle,
main bed needs replacing, very uncomfortable,
some cutlery needs cleaning, fridge not very cold,
Awesome Views.
This has been a lovely tour for me and my family in this property, even though it was just for the weekends...the beaches and twon centre ws merely few minutes drive away, so it helped ....the weather did not hold on the Saturday, so while we expected some glorious sunny beach time, it didn't happen....the property location was good, the 3 bedrooms accomodoated the 7 of us nicely...the view of the beach from the 1st floor was nice and soothing, even though it was not spectacular...rooms were clean and tidy..few issues - the round dining table was wobbly, it posed some trouble for the kids....the drawer handles of the kicthen and the bar stools were not very friendly, we got hurt few times. There main entrance to the property did not have any shades, so it was problematic on rainy days...overall, we enjoyed our stay..

Stunning views
Great house with magnificent views. Short walk to beach and relaxing family house
We have stayed in this location before and it's great! 15 mins walk to the shops and 5 mins to the stunning beach! The house is nice with great views though the furniture is a bit tired and could do with updating. Accommodation was good and comfortable. We expected better quality for the $$$ we paid (having said that we did go there at the most expensive time of the year!) And we had a great holiday!
