22nd November 2016 Dearest George It was such a wonderful stay here at your place, I have brought my friends James and Vanessa are from the UK and they are delighted to see a koala in the tree out the front. I am fantasizing about coming here for a month to write my next book. I've just released book1 (November Fox) and am planing to do book 2 in 2017 in one month focused session. I love how you have decorated the lace and the view & vibe is so tranquil. Having all the cooking tools you could need was perfect, & the beer at the local beer place was great! Many again & I look forward to coming here again from Melbourne either for a short or long stay in the future. 10 stars! Thank you Ester (& James & Vanessa U.K) P.S The stairwell is my favourite place of the house Very Classy!

We had a great stay in Apollo Bay. The house is absolutely perfect. Georgeous location, beautiful house with everything you could need. Very much recommended!
We loved staying at this property. The views are beautiful and the amenities are fantastic. We particularly loved lighting a fire at the end of every day. We will be back!
We enjoyed the antics of the local bird life (king parrots, crimson rosellas, satin bower birds, new holland honey eaters, etc.) from the balcony; we enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, the local seafood, comfy beds, great views and lots of local activities.
Great space for a family to enjoy the beach and relax with amazing views of the ocean and tree tops. Easy communication with owner and well equipped house in a peaceful neighbourhood.
The view and sounds of the ocean were wonderful and we enjoyed the daily visits by the local wildlife. Wonderful accommodation for couples or family needing a well earned break. Thanks George :)
The house is spacious, comfortable and well equipped, with splendid views out over the ocean. We chose a cold and wet time to be there and really benefitted from the warmth of the AC and the wood stove. The kitchen was well set up and we enjoyed some great meals in the house, as well as at Chris’ up the road.
George, the fact that you have thought of everything made the weekend very memorable. You can tell that you take so much care of the place and that you have so much pride. Thank you once again and we will be back for sure.

Thank you so much for a great review and for appreciating my efforts Pam.
So good to know you enjoyed your stay.
How can I sum up our stay. This is an amazing luxury home ... with a balcony with an amazing view ... we were giving our friends from Ireland a tour around ... they were utterly impressed by this place. Thank you
great break, everything supplied that you could need.
Modern appliances, cupboards full of well thought out
extras from coffee machine and plunger to timber for the
Coonara. Fab. ocean view. Upstairs toilet would have
been convienent at our age.
This was just the most gorgeous property. The views with floor to ceiling windows were breathtaking and being able to sit on the deck to watch and hear the surf rolling in was special. We had visits from Rosella's, King Parrot, Cockatoos and even a Bower bird. Just a wonderful experience.
A beautiful location, the property is a short walk to the beach. Shells, sand, ancient lava flow - it’s all there. The stars and planets are spectacular from the deck on the house. The house is bright and clean and has everything you need. Modern, expansive and well planned, the home is comfortable and quiet. Thanks, George for the great communications and making sure we were happy!
This was a lovely little place by the sea. Close to shops and of course the beautiful Great Ocean Road. The property was suited us two couples as it had space to relax and enjoy the verandah as well.
The seaview is magnificent. Listening to the waves all day can be so therapeutic. There's plenty to do in the house from board games to DVD /Netflix, BBQ to making pancakes during rainy days. Close walk to the beach with plenty to see on the rocks. Close drive to Apollo Bay for more fun. We were visited by two wild cuckadoo. We loved our stay. Thank you.
We had a great time in Skenes Creek...George's place has great views, is very comfortable...and well located for day trips up and down the GOR and Otway region...
What a lovely weekend away. The view and cleanliness a highlight! So warm and cozy in winter the heaters and fireplace. Kids loved it too. George was an amazing host. We will be back!
Took my partner here for her 21st absolutely amazing experience short drive to town but far enough away from everything, very clean and tidy and George went above and beyond to help us out very very recommended, had a slight miscommunication but was sorted out professionally in a short phone call very happy thanks George!
