About this property

Spectacular bay views, huge private sun deck, right in the heart of Sorrento.

This beautifully appointed and popular apartment is in the center of Sorrento village. Perfect for wedding guests, girls’ weekends and family getaways. Everything is at your doorstep. Leave the cars parked in the two carports and walk to the shops and beaches.

Recently renovated, the spacious and elegant apartment has 180 degree views of the bay and is surrounded by beautiful limestone buildings. The very large private terrace allows sweeping views of Port Philip Bay, Arthurs Seat, Mt. Martha and Mt. Eliza. There is always something interesting to look at, from the big ocean liners and container ships passing by, to the Queenscliff ferry and the spectacular sailing and couta boat races. There is never a dull moment.

Alfresco dining or lounging on the terrace is unsurpassed.

The ‘front beach’ (as the locals call it) is the one you look at from your balcony. It is a 2 minute walk away. The bay waters are calmer, shallower and slightly warmer than the ocean waters of the ‘back beach’. It is great for wading, paddling, swimming, standup paddle boarding, windsurfing fishing and sailing. Take the kids for a paddle and watch them chase seagulls and admire shells. There are cafes and restaurants near the pier and in summer you can watch teenagers jump into the deeper waters. The old timber jetty is a lovely backdrop for a family photo and you may see a beach wedding if you’re lucky! Do try ‘The Baths’ on the beach for a coffee or a meal.

The ‘back beach’, as the locals call it, is the wild ocean beach with waves for surfers, boogie boarders and swimmers. (Always swim between the flags for safety!) The ‘All Smiles’ cafe and restaurant and the National Park have picture perfect views of the stunning coastline and its gorgeous walking trails. The back beach is a pleasant 10 minute walk through town or only a few minutes drive away.

Within a short drive are are numerous natural beauty spots and activities. The Peninsula Hot Springs, wineries, cheese makers, glass blowers, National Parks and many golf courses are all only a short drive away.

There is a very good Information Centre in town only a short walk from the apartment. We highly recommend going there to plan your rest or activities!

Simply perfect
The apartment exceeded my expectations (which were high to start with)! From the helpful owner, easy check in, stunning view as soon as you walk in the front door, wonderful outdoor living space, comfortable furniture/beds, quiet and warm space, to its proximity to the centre of Sorrento (across the road) this property was and remains simply perfect.

Beautiful Sorrento
Thank you to Cobien. The property is fabulous, all amenities are catered for, no need to bring anything. Explanation on website is correct. My family had a lovely time as it is within walking distance of the main street and The Continental Hotel is over the road. Views from the balcony include the Ferry to Queenscliff. Just lovely thanks again Cobien we would love to return.

Views and location are second to none
Absolutely stunning apartment. The balcony views are breathtaking. And the location is spot on to enjoy Sorrento without needing to move the car. Very comfortable apartment with two large, brand new bathrooms. Beds were comfortable. Everything was very well thought out.

About the host

Hosted by Cobien Watts

Host profile image
We bought the apartment for our retirement in 1996. With Sorrento village at our doorstep and the spectacular bay views it is the perfect position.
We are now both retired and live just down the road from the apartment where we can better accommodate our hugely extended family of children, grand children and overseas friends and family. Michael also needs a "men's shed" and a vegetable garden, to keep him occupied.
Michael was an engineer and Cobien an interior designer.
