Refreshing

Had refreshing break in this beautiful location. Nothing like going to sleep with the sound of the ocean close by. Very comfortable and clean house with all you need (including Netflix). Appreciated it being pet friendly and although property is not secure - beach is just a 5 minute walk away and balcony is secure, so this was not a problem. Great communication from owners.

Perfect pet friendly home

Tanja was an amazing host. The property was perfectly located with ocean views from inside and out. Safe parking. Very safe for even small dogs. Open plan affords you views from the whole living area. Smart TV was a bonus with free wifi. Will come back. Very peaceful pet friendly beach a couple of minutes walk.

Outstanding property along the Great Ocean Road

Very well laid out cottage with all the amenities needed during my stay. It was an easy walk down to the beach and access to both the Great Ocean Road and Skenes Creek Road made it an excellent base for exploring the coast and the Great Otway National Park. The deck made a great place to spend time listening to the ocean during Breakfast. The location was well kept up and clean upon our arrival, with the lights on to welcome us after a day of bush walks through the Great Otway National Park. At night, it was incredibly quiet, and with the windows open, the sound of the ocean easily lulled us to sleep.

Great Place in Lovely Location

We had a lovely stay at this property. It has a well appointed kitchen, clean and tidy.Great location across from the ocean. Our only suggestion is it would be lovely to be able to bbq and possibly an empty cupboard to use as a pantry if bringing your own food items. Enjoyed our time here.

Comfortable and quiet

The house was comfortable and clean with views of the ocean. Our only worry is that the garden was not fenced and so we could not let our dog outside without supervision.

Comfort in a great location

Beautifully equipped comfortable holiday cottage situated a few minutes’ walk from the sea. Generous provision of everything needed for a relaxing time away. As advertised, it would be ideal for visitors with a disability and for people with a pet. We used it as a jumping off point to explore the Great Ocean Road and the Otways. Apollo Bay was good for eating out and shopping. A peaceful haven. Thanks to our invisible host Tanja.

A true getaway

The property at number 9 is a gem. Clean, comfortable, good location and with a sea view. Every thing was though of from milk in the fridge to coffee beans and a grinder, bathroom necessities and a very comfy bed. The proximity to the owners was not a problem., Although I saw them once or twice they maintained the privacy of the letting. Close to the beach for my boys to walk, close to Apollo Bay and its cafes and restaurants. Priced is applicable for the type of accommodation. A nice experience.

Little Home away from Home

5 minutes from the beach. All you need for a short stay for a couple or family with a young child. Its nice to have a place that allows a one night booking and welcomes pets.

Wow balcony and location!

What a really nice place this is, one of the two favourites in the whole trip! The balcony and lounge and kitchen are great! The place is really nice and from here you can drive up to Beech Forest which is really good! Also during our stay (my friend and her cocker spaniel and myself) there was a bushfire in Kenneth River and Tanja’s daughter kindly came to warn us of this but also reassured us that it was under control. Great place to stay and great hosts!

Relaxing stay

Pet friendly and accessible accommodation is hard to find. Fisheye 9 had both. Clean, wheelchair friendly and in a great location. Our Japanese spitz enjoyed the local beach, we enjoyed the seafood at Apollo Bay. Definitely on our list of places to come back to.
